Following a run of impressive early singles, Bleech 9:3 have confirmed details of their self-titled debut EP.

Set for release on May 15 via Polydor Records, the EP brings together standout tracks like Ceiling and Cannonball, alongside a brand-new cut, Underrated, which is available to check out now.

Vocalist and guitarist Baz Quinlan shares that Underrated dates back to the band’s earliest days. “I wrote it at the end of 2024. It was one of the first Bleech songs that we jammed back then,” he explains.

The EP also explores deeper themes beneath its grunge-tinged surface. “Bad worship is a theme that runs through the record,” Baz continues. “I felt driven to write about how it twists love into something else. How the twisting becomes the thing that you end up wanting.”
