  • Bio

    hello! my name is steve and i make music under the name 'jam on bread', which seemed like a good idea for a name at the time but now seems a bit silly. i have played about three million gigs and have supported people like calvin johnson, seabear, bearsuit and brokencyde. .. i have an album out on team strike force! which is called 'a railcard adventure'. look! ...... you can get it from a variety of places, you know. you can purchase a real life copy from ..here.., or you can download it from places like itunes, amazon, 7digital and emusic. you can also listen to it for free on spotify if you want to. the actual real life copy comes with a bonus disc which includes an amazing dreamtrak remix of my song 'let jason donovan do the talking', a cover of 'it's always sunny inside' by laura wolf and me and charlotte from judy and the blumes covering some songs. there's also a little comic i drew and some other stuff that would just be nice to have around the house. .. if you want to contact me about anything, maybe send me an email to it sounded better in my head at googlemail.com. i don't check myspace very often and i'm more likely to remember to reply to things if they're in my email inbox. .. many thanks! ..

    quotes from people that talk about music:.. "Jam On Bread has actually done the almost unthinkable and scored five out of five"- ..frocknroll.... "[i heart labrador records is] ... a lo-fi, pop gem that name-drops Sambassadeur, Irene, Radio Dept., Ronderlin, Acid House Kings, and SKWBN"- ..swedesplease.... "it's a really nice little tune"- ..labrador records news article...... "He's certainly knowingly twee and jangly enough (the humble uke does rather lend itself to jangling), rather self-deprecating, and really quite brilliant. In a the way that only a librarianship student with a massive beard and limited skills on a ridiculous instrument but a great line in wry lyrics could be"- ..manchester music.... "The lyrics were personal without being self indulgent, quirky without being annoying and funny without being daft. Thoroughly entertaining"- ..joy collective.... "His songs are strummed out on the beautiful instrument, and give his songs the vibe of a sickly sea shanty at times, which perfectly compliments his nerdy, personal lyrics. He makes songs that generally feel inspired by a distance from mainstream culture, which might be classed as reading too much into things, but the lyrics are generally quirky and warm and filled with humour"- ..pigeon post..
