Rock band Bleech 9:3, born in Dublin but now based out of London, are back with their new single “Tourniquet.” This announcement comes alongside the announcement of their forthcoming debut album, Bleed. The track premiered as Jack Saunders’ Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 and has already received support from outlets including Kerrang! and The Line of Best Fit.

Produced by Dan Carey, known for his work with Fontaines D.C. and Wet Leg, and mixed by Rich Costey, “Tourniquet” builds on the band’s heavy, ’90s-inspired alternative rock sound. The track has already become a live favorite, following performances throughout the band’s busy 2026 summer festival run, including sets at Reading & Leeds and Electric Picnic.

The four-piece have built a growing following through their intense live shows and deeply personal songwriting, earning praise from NME, Rolling Stone UK, The Guardian and Clash. The band’s music draws on influences ranging from Radiohead, Deftones and Nirvana to Fontaines D.C. and Sleep Token.

Alongside the release, BLEECH 9:3 have announced additional live dates for 2027, including two U.S. shows at Mercury Lounge in New York City on January 21 and The Echo in Los Angeles on February 3. The band’s fall headline tour, including a show at London’s Electric Ballroom, has already sold out, with further dates across the U.K. and Europe scheduled for next spring.

“Tourniquet” is available to stream now, with the music video also out. A limited-edition version of Bleed is available through the band’s online store until October 6.
