"Bleach" is the debut studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on June 15, 1989, through Sub Pop Records. This album, consisting of 11 tracks, marked the beginning of Nirvana's influential presence in the grunge and alternative rock scenes. "Bleach" showcases the band's raw sound, characterized by heavy guitar riffs, dynamic shifts, and Kurt Cobain's distinct vocal style.
