Wynona Bleach (previously R51) 2018

So as you can maybe see from the title and picture, R51 have changed their name to Wynona Bleach.

2018 is a fresh new start for this incredible band, I have been following them now since the beginning of 2015 and I still can't get enough! 

Everyone has been great promoting their name change and new single "Eyes Burning" including their usual supporters like Stu and Rigsy on BBC Radio Ulster's Across the Line. You can listen to their podcast for free on itunes, the second session released on 01/24/2018 features their new single.

Also, a podcast ran by Year Spaceship on YouTube called The Crow's Nest gave them a shout out.

Wynona Bleach released a video on FB to explain the name change which you can watch; here.

You can also watch their music video for "Eyes Burning" either on their Facebook page (which currently has over 12k views), YouTube or Matty's Vimeo.
