Bleech 9:3

On 1 December 2026 at Electric Ballroom in Camden, London, Bleech 9:3 bring their alt-rock into sharp focus. Formed between Dublin and Brixton, the four-piece took shape around songwriters Barry Quinlan and Sam Duffy, joined by James Quinlan on bass and Luke O’Neill on drums. Their writing pits clean melodic lines against dense, saturated guitars, leaning on contrast and tension rather than straight catharsis. That push-pull also feeds a visual, introspective universe that informs the lyrics as much as the stage craft.

Early releases like Ceiling and Jacky trace the outline of a band finding its pace on the London circuit, with support slots for Shame and Keo and a three-night residency at the Blue Basement helping to tighten the set. Live, Bleech 9:3 move from restraint to surge without losing the thread, keeping the rhythm section grounded while guitars carve out space for hooks. At Electric Ballroom, expect a direct, melodic take on rock with edges left intact, carried by close interplay and a compact group dynamic built for the stage.
