Bleech hail from London’s East End and are set to release their stand-out self-penned debut single “Is It True That Boys Don’t Cry?” on April 14th. The single is also the debut release for Ban*Jam records, the logical extension of the famed Ban*Jam club nights.

With the presses still warm, the wry high energy tune has been snapped up by the National Theatre for its nationwide New Connections youth theatre programme. The programme’s finale will be at the NT on the South Bank in July with Bleech closing the show.

The talented three-piece, now managed by Andy Ross, who discovered that little known band, Blur, have already created a buzz among the cognoscenti having been featured by Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy.

They are soon to prerecord a session for the John Kennedy’s show, which will be broadcast on xfm during the week of release.

To date, they have supported Pete Doherty, The Rifles & the Kooks in their short but explosive career.

Bleech are fast gaining a reputation for their songwriting skills, gutsy live performances and their melodic, grungy, guitar-led sound reminiscent of Nineties Brit Pop at its best.

The band are continuing a relentless sequence of live shows, including two nights at this year’s forthcoming Camden Crawl.

How can you not love them? Two cute/stylish ladies & a boy!
