Bleech 9:3 today release new single Figure 8 –the first new music since their critically acclaimed self-titled debut EP which came out in May 2026. A regular on BBC Radio 1 and championed across the press spectrum – the Irish 4-piece, now gearing towards a larger body of work – are being tipped, talked-about and hailed as the band of 2026. Their headline tour this Autumn – taking in London’s Electric Ballroom – is entirely sold out. Figure 8, a fan favourite among Bleech 9:3’s fast-becoming-legendary live-set only enhances the suggestion that this band can deliver on such early hype.
Figure 8 is produced by Dan Carey (Fontaines D.C., Wet Leg) & mixed by Rich Costey (Bruce Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys) and is the band’s first time working with either. The summer of 2026 has been beyond busy for Bleech 9:3 – playing festivals across Europe to packed out crowds and finding a passionate and committed community of fans wherever they perform.
Figure 8 is, according to Baz – “The product of crying quietly so your flatmates don’t hear you“
Next week the band perform alongside Wunderhorse in Ireland. Full dates below. More from Bleech 9:3 very soon.
