we had a super lovely night down at the Grafton Arms last Friday for “A Summer Cabaret“, celebrating the birthdays of Anyone’s Ghost and Decreece – plus with the amazing Blake Cateris performing for us too
a huge thank you to everyone who came down and attended, it was a super special night with so much talent, so many great artists performing for us for the open mic and our feature artists were insane as always! great to see
lots and lots more stuff to come over the summertime, find all of our upcoming gigs on our website at www.breadrecords.co.uk/events
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Midlands-based emo outfit Vienna, “Ratatouille! I hardly know her…” out this Friday! 💥
their third single, it follows the success of their first two, which established them as ones to watch on the Midlands scene, and having garnered a bunch of attention with these releases, alongside a load of live performances, they’re back with a belter 👊
this new single sounds fantastic, expanding excellently on the mid-west stylings of their earlier work, with a more direct and polished shine to the sound of the track – the guitarwork in the introduction is luscious, with some gorgeous melodies in there, and it expands out into the main riff of the track with a ferocious energy; it really proves the energy and passion put into this track. 🌙 the guitar tones sound mega throughout, and the rhythm section perfectly compliment them, giving the main vocal ample room to command the listener’s attention with a direct and powerful force, ensuring the audience hang onto every word of theirs, with great lyrical storytelling, you can tell that there’s real passion put into every sentence – an incredible listen! 🎧
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Mad By Mourning “Black Car“! 👊
we covered their previous single last year, “Creature Of Habit“, and we were astounded by their gothic, industrial sound – yet infusing a range of various influences, to truly create something that they can call their own – you can hear punk, metal, emo and chock-full of lyrical ingenuity, catchy hooks; it truly set them as ones to watch! 😊
this new single begins in a more moody, darker vein compared to the previous, with a riff heavy, distorted atmosphere in the opening stage – it gives a load of room for the main vocal to take command in the first verse, demanding the listener’s attention – utilising the soundscape effectively, and with a fantastic, catchy and lyrically adept chorus – they’ve only gone beyond our expectations for this one. the grunginess and heaviness of the track is perfectly balanced with the more atmospheric elements of it, a lovely use of dynamic and contrast – fantastic to see, well worth a listen!! 🎧 (also with a luscious guitar solo too!)
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from the incredible Arms & Hearts “Binaries“! 🎶
we’ve had Steve perform for us a bunch of times now, recently at Low Four Studio in April and they always blow us away with their high-energy passion-fuelled sets, their raw and intricate songwriting and stage presence – it’s always worth catching them live! 👊
this new track is a proper indication of their talent, an upbeat heavy tune, lots of folk-punk atmosphere to it – and a moody, dark guitar riff, yet Steve’s vocal commands attention, with raw and emotive lyricism, baring all upon the page; and delivered in their signature no-holds-barred fashion, giving it their all throughout the track. an incredible track, well worth a listen! 🎧
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a music video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/DiGVwSp7N2Q – go and check it out! 🤝

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Oli Barton, “You Just Played My Mind“! 🎶
the indie-rock songwriter returns with a brand new track, following the success of his previous few singles – and having performed a bunch across London recently, he’s really come into his own as one to watch on the UK scene 🤝
“You Just Played My Mind” is a track to remember, with a dark and moody undertone set to a bright and upbeat backdrop – a gorgeous contrast in the tune. the lyrics are raw and passionate, and proves his worth as a songwriter, and with a massive chorus that is bound to get you singing along! the bridge is great, a lovely drop that builds and builds to the final chorus, a great dynamic that sounds incredible. 🙌
the latest single from Narwhals and Thē Jaffa, “Moor Fires“, has been out for an entire week! 🤝
a massive thank you to everyone who’s listened to it, added to playlists, or shared it – we appreciate it loads, a gorgeous tune and we can’t wait to share even more with you guys. 🎶
if you’ve not checked it out yet, it’s available on all streaming platforms – head to https://ffm.to/moorfires to find it on your preferred one 🍞
we’re blown away by the response to our fourth single with Narwhals “Moor Fires” (ft. Thē Jaffa)
a massive thank you to everyone for the kind words and keep streaming it – super proud of this one being out. here’s a live rendition of the track from last year at the Grafton Arms
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Getner “Poitín”
we had them perform for us the other week and they were absolutely incredible, with such a great energy and stage presence, plus so many bangers under their belt
this new single “Poitín” sounds unreal, a lovely atmospheric vibe and super droney, as Quentin’s vocal commands the attention of the listener – there’s an incredible build in this song too, slowly unravelling to the chorus that’s a real earworm. there’s a lovely rock and roll element to it, but it’s got so much alternative and grungey influence; a real unique sound to it and a fantastic show of their talent.
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and it’s available to watch on YouTube at https://youtu.be/dVpff_F57Sk – well worth checking out!
