Bleech – By Royal Appointment

• 1st Jun 2012

Apparently there is some sort of jubilee on this weekend. But more importantly Bleech release their debut album ‘Nude’ on The Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday, June 4th through Billie Records.

A special launch party took place in recently, with a few royal guests, among others, coming along. The menacing throb of ‘I Wanna Be Me’ played throughout the party, along with a few glasses of pink lemonade, the madness began to escalate. Elizabeth ll, no stranger to her younger punk sensibilities, was among the worst culprits caught forever on camera…..

Bleech have produced an eclectic record that demonstrates their early distinctive punk origins and high-energy teenage angst to their now heavier, more mature, ambitious rock arrangements. With its machine-gun rattle of wild language and tales of sweet revenge, this long player certainly packs a punch. These tracks are as raw and close to the bone as they come. From the vitriolic 'I Wanna Be Me', to ‘Worthing Song’s venomous overtones these tracks carry bold statements, seething with a dark, disruptive magic. BLEECH’s softer side is also on show here with the wistful ‘Flowerhands’ and yearning ‘When I Get Old’, which adds contrast to the mix.
