Davy Baysinger (Bleach)

The Rumors are True Podcast

On this special three-part series of The Rumors Are True, we’re honored to welcome Davy Baysinger, Sam Barnhart, and Milam Byers from the beloved alt-rock band Bleach to celebrate their long-anticipated reunion. As a cornerstone of the late ’90s and early 2000s alternative and Christian rock scenes, Bleach built a reputation for honest, emotional songwriting, anthemic guitar-driven sound, and high-energy live shows that left a lasting impression on fans around the world. In these episodes, the guys open up about the band’s origins, the unique chemistry that brought them together, and the journey through success, personal loss, creative shifts, and eventual disbandment. They reflect deeply on what the band meant to them then—and what it means now—as they revisit the passion and purpose that inspired them to make music in the first place. We also talk about the heart behind their reunion, the unexpected spark that brought them back to the stage, and the renewed connection they feel with each other and their fans. Whether you’ve been singing along since Static or Again, For the First Time, or you’re just now discovering Bleach, these episodes offer a raw, heartfelt, and often hilarious look at the life of a band that never really left our hearts.
