1. Bleach (UK)
The British shoegaze band Bleach was formed in Ipswich in 1989 by brothers Neil (guitar) and Nick Singleton (bass) together with former Anglian TV researcher Salli Carson (vocals) and drummer Steve Scott. Between 1990 and 1993 the band produced two EPs, a mini-album and two full length albums, plus several singles. There was also a compilation album of singles.
Bleach were often described as being at the forefront of the so-called ‘shoegazing’ scene, but despite critical acclaim never managed to achieve the popularity of bands like Curve, Ride and Slowdive. Bleach’s music is actually very varied, encompassing hard-edged psychedelia, grunge, neo-funk and mellow, almost pastoral Cocteau Twins style dreamscapes.
2. Bleach (JP)
Bleach (alternatively called Bleach03 or Bleachmobile) was an all-female punk trio from Okinawa, Japan. The members included, Kanna on guitar and vocals, Miya on bass and Sayuri on drums. Kanna was the primary lyricist. Citing artistic differences, Bleach disbanded on June 10, 2009, less than a month before the release of their final album "bleach stone."
Several early singles were released prior to their first full length, "Kibaku-Zai" (Triggering Device), which was released in 2000. In 2001, the band released three EPs including "Hadaka No Jo" (Naked Queen) to a growing audience. In 2003, Bleach released the EP "Canary Teikoku No Gyakushu" (Canary Empire Strikes Back) and, later that year, a full-length entitled "Bleach." In 2003, due to a growing audience outside of Japan, a UK label released "Three Girls From Okinawa," which consists of "Naked Queen" and three cuts from the earlier "Triggering Device." In 2007, to the delight of their growing fan base, Bleach released "The Head That Controls Both Right And Left Sides Eats Meats And Slobbers Even Today."
3. Bleach (US)
Bleach is a Nashville-based Christian rock band that formed at Kentucky Christian University, in Grayson, Kentucky. Formed in 1995, Bleach originally went by the name Blueberry Muffin. They disbanded in 2004, but reformed in 2010.
In 1997 Bleach earned a Dove Award in the category of Modern Rock Recorded Song of the Year for their song "Epidermis Girl," which was released on their debut album Space.
In 2003 the members of Bleach announced that they were going to disband. After the announcement, the band said goodbye to their fans in the form of a farewell tour, which was followed by the final album Farewell Old Friends. Bleach's "last show" was performed on August 29, 2004, in Nashville, Tennessee, but on March 13, 2005, Bleach performed a reunion show to benefit the Aaron Marrs Memorial Fund. They also performed a reunion show at The O.C. Supertones's last show, which was held at Biola University on October 7, 2005.
Bleach's sound was often compared to Weezer or what is sometimes referred to as alternative or geek rock.
Warp Factor Five
Bleach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With me...Come along won't you come with me...
Warp Factor Five you see ~ This world is buggin' outta
Control...And there's one sure thing for the Godly
Soul...Outta sight to your cosmic home...To your cosmic
Home, your cosmic home ~ Ride along to where I'm
Going...Down the road of gold to your diamond home...
May you leave tonight past the speed of light...May
So long, so gone to a better scene...Warp Factor Five
With me...Warp Factor Five you see...
The song "Warp Factor Five" by Bleach is an anthem for escape, a call for humanity to leave the troubles of the world behind and embark on a journey to a better place. The repeated refrain of "Warp Factor Five" invokes the idea of interstellar travel - the warp factor is a term from Star Trek used to describe faster-than-light travel. The song describes the world as "buggin' outta control," suggesting that society has plunged into chaos and turmoil, and leaving the planet behind is the only way to find peace.
The song is full of imagery and metaphors that suggest the journey to paradise is spiritual, as well as physical. The line "Outta sight to your cosmic home" suggests that the destination is beyond the visible universe and possibly even beyond the physical realm, while "Down the road of gold to your diamond home" evokes the idea of a heavenly kingdom, rich and beautiful beyond measure. The lyrics encourage listeners to come along on this journey, implying that it is not a solo venture, but a communal effort.
Overall, "Warp Factor Five" is a song of hope, a reminder that despite the troubles of this world, there is a better destination awaiting us. It encourages listeners to let go of their earthly burdens and embrace something greater, and the use of science fiction imagery only serves to underscore the song's message of escape and transcendence.
