Bleach was an English indie rock group originating from Ipswich, established in 1989 by siblings Neil and Nick Singleton (handling guitar and bass), drummer Steve Scott, and singer Salli Carson. Known for their connection to the shoegazing style, they debuted with the Eclipse EP in 1990, followed by the Snag EP in 1991. Both releases were later combined into a self-titled album released that same year. The band also recorded two Peel sessions for BBC Radio One during 1990 and 1991.

In 1992, Bleach unveiled their full studio album Killing Time along with the single "Shotgun," which incorporated elements of rap into their shoegazing sound. The next year saw the release of two mini-albums, Hard and Fast, before the group dissolved. They reunited briefly in 2015 for several live performances, including a show in their hometown of Ipswich.
