Bleech, the brilliant new London band, whose demo DJ Steve Lamacq admits he couldn't stop playing for a week have been picked up by Ban*Jam for their stand-out self-penned single "Is It True That Boys Don't Cry?". With the presses still warm, the wry high energy tune has also 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 London's South Bank in July with Bleech closing the show. The talented three-piece, is now managed by Andy Ross, who discovered that little known band, Blur. They can be heard on John Kennedy's XFM Live Session in late April. Bleech are fast gaining a reputation for their gutsy live performances and melodic, grungy, guitar-led sound reminiscent of Nineties Brit Pop at its best. To date, they have supported Pete Doherty, The Rifles and the Kooks in their short but explosive career. "Is It True That Boys Don't Cry?" released on 7" vinyl through Ban*Jam on April 14th 2009
