British Culture Archive licensed five photographs by Nick Wynne for use across cover artwork by Bleech 9:3, the Dublin-formed, London-based alternative rock band signed to Polydor Records.

The photographs were licensed for the band’s debut singles and self-titled EP artwork, placing Nick Wynne’s documentary photography within the visual identity of one of the UK and Ireland’s emerging guitar bands.

Bleech 9:3 are led by songwriters and guitarists Barry “Baz” Quinlan and Sam Duffy, with James Quinlan on bass and Luke O’Neill on drums. Since forming, the band have built a growing following through early releases, live shows and support dates across the UK and Europe.

Their self-titled debut EP was released through Polydor Records in May 2026, with wider industry attention building around the band’s songwriting, live reputation and visual identity.

Nick Wynne’s photographs form part of British Culture Archive’s represented photography programme, with the selected works licensed directly through BCA for music industry use.

The project reflects BCA’s ongoing role in connecting British documentary photography with contemporary music culture, record artwork and publishing while protecting the value and authorship of the work.
