we had a proper insane one the other week at the Grafton Arms for our first paid entry gig with Lanterns headlining! 
so many people came down, it was insane to see – plus every band smashed it, big love to The Internet Café and River Water for supporting 
we’ve got PLENTY more on the way, keep your eyes peeled at www.breadrecords.co.uk/events for all the upcoming gigs! 
we’re super stoked to announce that we’ve got one of our favourites Tay Temple over on a headline show at The Castle Hotel on Saturday 13th of May 💥
Tay’s easily one of our favourites here in Manchester, her and her band have been smashing it over the past year, when she played a headline for us back in October it was absolutely incredible, last month at Lions Den Manchester with Olivia Browse was spectacular and she’s only gone and released her latest single “Still Here” which is a real indication of her talent for songwriting and creativity, we love it ☀️
we can’t wait for the 13th of May, not only is she headlining it’s her birthday too (and Eurovision!!) so it’s bound to be a belter. you can get our first wave of early bird tickets right now over on Fatsoma for only £5 +bf – check them out at https://fatso.ma/Xwqt 🍞
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Yorkshire-based Sunbeam-band “Empire“!
their first release of 2023, they’ve followed up their previous singles and EP with a great one here, an indie-rock anthem reminiscent of 90’s britpop bands but still bringing their own flavour to the track, almost dreamy in certain areas with a lovely guitar line gracing the forefront of the track, with a fast-paced groove accompanying the lead vocal which is direct, clear and commands the attention of the listener. it’s a lovely tune with a lovely message behind the lyrics, about relationships and the need to work on them together, yet holds this message in a lure of imagery and descriptive lyricism. 
you can find it over on all the streaming platforms, or find the full studio video over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRZPURlNwGo – have a listen to the full track, can’t wait to hear more from these guys!
