Bleach were an indie rock band from Ipswich, England, usually considered part of the shoegazing genre. The band was formed in 1989 by brothers Neil and Nick Singleton (guitar and bass, respectively) together with drummer Steve Scott and vocalist Salli Carson. Their first release was the Eclipse EP in 1990, followed in 1991 by the Snag EP. The tracks from these two EPs were collected on an album in 1991. 1992 saw the release of the full length album Killing Time, and the single "Shotgun", a surprising mixture of shoegaze and rap. In 1993 the band released two separate mini-albums, Hard and Fast. The group disbanded shortly thereafter.

Bleach are often confused with two other bands that use the same name, including a Christian rock band from Tennessee that calls itself Bleach. Nirvana's first album was also named Bleach, further confusing matters.
