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.

Bleach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My Chevrolet...Ten below but I got the window down...
Cause I want the world to hear me rockin' out ~ I want
Them to get it good ~ I wanna wanna wanna Drive Drive
Drive...Saturday night and the streets alive...I wanna
Wanna wanna Drive Drive Drive...There's more I'll show
You more ~ This is more than just a weekend thing...Out
Every night to where the monsters sing...Righteous sounds
Vaudeville show ~ I want them to get the goods ~ I ain't
Afraid of rockin' out...These super sounds are gonna
Knock you out...I ain't afraid of turnin' it up...I wanna
Show my Father's love...
The song "Drive" by Bleach is about the joy of driving and rocking out to music on a Saturday night. The singer in the song is in their Chevrolet and driving down the strip, even though it's cold outside, they have their window down so that the world can hear them rocking out. The lyrics reference blasting the music at 120 dB, which is a very high volume, and wanting to drive to where the monsters sing. The singer takes pride in their music selection, calling it their "four wheel vaudeville show" and believing that it will knock people out.
However, the song has a deeper meaning than just the love of driving and jamming out to music. The lyrics also make reference to the singer's faith, with multiple mentions of Jesus and their desire to show their "Father's love". This could be interpreted as meaning that the singer finds joy and connection to their spiritual beliefs while driving and listening to music. Overall, the song is a celebration of the freedom that comes with driving and the power of music to connect people to their beliefs and passions.
