our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP “Vows To Boscobel” from Cinder 👊
over the past few months, they’ve been making waves on the Manchester music scene, having performed a load across the city, and releasing a run of fantastic singles prior to the release of this EP 🎶
the EP sounds fantastic, with a real mesh of influences in there, ranging from shoegaze to grunge to alternative rock – each of the tunes are great and there’s plenty of singalong choruses, anthemic sounds and luscious guitar riffs throughout, backed with a driving and tight rhythm section that create the perfect foundation for each of the tracks. there’s a real attitude and feeling to each of the tunes, each with their own identity yet maintaining a real connection throughout the full EP. it’s a great listen 🤝
you can find the EP in full on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/7siyZVNFlkqxv47a63SFwu – give it a spin 🎧
all of our features, reviews, music and more can be found on our website at www.breadrecords.co.uk 🍞
