ABOUT BLEECH 9:3
Dublin-born and now based in London, Bleech 9:3 are Barry Quinlan and Sam Duffy on guitar/vocals, James Quinlan on bass and Luke O’Neill on drums. Barry and Sam first met through a 12-step recovery program in Dublin, where shared experiences and creative ambitions led them to begin writing together and ultimately form the band. Drawing inspiration from Radiohead, Deftones and Nirvana alongside contemporary influences including Fontaines D.C. and Sleep Token, Bleech 9:3 pair sharp melodies with heavy distortion and deeply personal songwriting. A regular on BBC Radio 1, the band have spent the past year building a devoted following through relentless touring and a packed 2026 festival season, while earning recognition as one of the most talked-about new bands emerging from the UK and Ireland. Their entire fall headline tour, including London’s Electric Ballroom, is sold out as they gear up for their next chapter with debut album Bleed.
