we had another superb afternoon of live music on Saturday for our Cream of the Crop matinée show down at The Thirsty Scholar
a real lovely day, with music from the amazing talents of Matt Smedley Bradwell Andrew Metheven and Doggy Lebosch – incredible sets by all and a huge thank you to them for performing for us. 
we’ll be back with our next one at the start of March – keep your eyes peeled over at www.breadrecords.co.uk/events for more info! 
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from Mort Jardin “Fragile“! 
we’ve covered their music a bunch in the past, having released a bunch of incredible albums and EPs over the course of the past few years, laced with grungy goodness and melodic guitar riffs throughout – lovely stuff! 
this new EP only continues that trend, coming in at just over 12 minutes in total it’s full of bangers. there’s a more intimate and indie-rock feel throughout, especially on the first track, and with a more electronic and synthy feel throughout, it’s a less heavy release compared to their earlier work, but it’s still got the familiar melodic guitarwork and driving groove that we’ve come to see from Mort Jardin.
you can find the EP in its entirety on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/0swOpcXNQnZwxVrMybXln9 – well worth checking out! 
all of our reviews, features, music and more can be found on our website at www.breadrecords.co.uk

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from VALA “On The Getaway“! 🥪
we caught them at The Deaf Institute at the end of last year and were blown away by their stage presence, the quality of their songs and their supreme musicianship – fantastic stuff. we’ve covered their previous releases a bunch and we’re always looking forward to hearing new tunes from them! 🙌
this new single sounds fantastic, taking a more lo-fi and pop sound to their music, whilst still maintaining their more indie/alternative origins – it’s a real laidback tune, with a lovely jazzy style guitar melody, waves of lead guitar enveloping the track and with a lovely mellow and conversationalist main vocal. it builds and builds throughout the tune superbly and culminates abruptly at the end – yet still making you want to go back and listen again! ☀️
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs – well worth listening to their full discography! 💫
