Description

One friend. Two bands. And so it was that Manchesters Easter and Londons Bromide met in their mutual pal Dave Armess address book (he of Last Harbour, LCR Records and A-Sun Amissa sidekick repute). Soon after Easter were on their way down tsmoke to play at Bromides place, namely the Birds Nest in Deptford. And verily did they smash it! So much so that Bromide singer Simon immediately thought about putting something out on his Scratchy Records label.. and why not keep the threads twisting and make it a joint release! Especially as both bands share a love of alt. sounds from across the pond back in dem 90s days. Easter feasting on Buffalo Toms heavier riffs, Yo La Tengo and San Franciscos Swell, while Bromide reminded Easters mainman Tom of Nada Surf and Big Star and that New Zealand power pop stuff.. So the split-single was born.. Easter taking the A with Doubt Rings, a propulsive guitar-lashed gallop thru the relationship forest with Bromide on the AA offering Ill Never Learn from last years I Woke Up album on Scratchy, an up/downbeat reflective tale that dries solid on the choruses when the fuzz kicks in. Easter A welcome throwback to the wry, self-lacerating of the early 90sUncut Bromide -if you like Dinosaur Jr and The Replacements, youll love this MusicOMH

And theres more..! Easter had a whole EP ready to go so punters who buy the vinyl will get a free download code for the extra tracks. Then early next year both bands will be heading out fora few gigs to plug the single, joined by Southends own fabulous guitar reverb-drenched Dark Globes whove also got wares to plug in the shape of newly released album Somewhere To Land.
