we’re stoked to bring you another gig! we’ll be hosting the amazing Cal Murphy for a headline show here in Manchester at The Old Monkey on the Friday 8th March

we’ve had Cal perform a bunch for us over the past few years, and his comedic approach to songwriting, whilst still maintaining a real sense of professionalism, and intricate, thought-provoking lyrics set to an upbeat and energetic performance is always a joy to watch.

with support from the amazing talents of Thom Morecroft and Andy Fontaine, it’s sure to be an unforgettable night of live music. tickets available at https://fatso.ma/ZmQL

Just The Crust 12/02/24: Grey Mare – Kevin 🥪

12th Feb 202412th Feb 2024artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Grey Mare, “Kevin“! 🥪

this is the second offering from the Manchester-based alternative rock outfit, after performing across the city and the release of their debut single, which garnered a great response from indie/shoegaze fans around – well worth checking out. 🙌

this new tune sounds great, with a real shoegaze and ambient element behind it – a gorgeous atmosphere behind the track. opening up with an infectious guitar melody, and hard-hitting drumwork, it sets a lovely foundation for the track; giving plenty of space for lead singer Nathan to control the track with apt lyricism, and strong vocal melodies. the lead guitar perfectly compliments the rest of the track, coming in so softly with expertly-crafted riffs. it’s a fantastic tune! ☀️

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4V8tr8jnCMOvR4edJ3vpH1 – give it a spin! 💿

all of our features, reviews, music and more are available to discover on our website at www.breadrecords.co.uk 🍞
