Band Memberssteve- basic ukulele, rubbish voice, amateurish recording.
Influencesbands/artists i've played with that i love!

superman revenge squad, hoe cakes, judy and the blumes, the middle ones, mat riviere, sam hill, seabear, a sunny day in glasgow, amida, pelle carlberg, the shrieking violets, the empty set, pagan wanderer lu, chris alcxxk, winter berries, ace bushy striptease, napoleon iiird, calvin johnson, jeremy warmsley, sparky deathcap, manhattan love suicides, the deirdres, bearsuit, the research, pete green, winston echo, my first tooth, pablo's finest hour, cats in paris, gay against you, keyboard choir, future of the left, the retrospankees and others i've forgotten about.

bands/artists that probably influenced me in some way by being generally great! (this doesn't include bands i've already listed who are obviously all great and who have totally influenced me)!

marble krusher, johnny foreigner, los campesinos!, pocketbooks, the school, the mountain parade, fuck buttons, the pains of being pure at heart, the radio dept, tribeca, suburban kids with biblical names, club 8, sweet sweet concorde, cats on fire, acid house kings, ronderlin, internet forever, irene, sambassadeur, [ingenting], sound of arrows, johan hedberg, springfactory, the lovely eggs, pavement, dinosaur jr, stars of the lid, nofx, mj hibbett, help stamp out loneliness, animal collective, most serene republic and more.

Sounds Likequotes 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

   About jam on bread
hello, my name is steve. i 'perform' under the name jam on bread and have been doing so since christmas 2007. since then i've played about seventy gigs, toured twice and played with some of my favourite musicians in the world. people like the middle ones, mat riviere, a sunny day in glasgow, cats in paris, calvin johnson, pete green, seabear and pelle carlberg. i'll put a full list in the bit on the left, yeah?

i've been lucky enough to have been asked to play all over the uk and have been asked to appear on a couple of compilations as well, which i'll put in a discography bit that'll come after this biography bit. cool.

i've done live sessions on resonance fm, oxide radio and fuse fm, as well as being played on the wonderful dandelion radio, tom robinson's six music show and various other nice radio shows. yay.

i'm nice i think, so if you fancy contacting me, go ahead! sometimes i might take a while to reply, but i'll get around to it eventually, i promise. you can email me at it sounded better in my head at googlemail dot com

releases!

TWO THOUSAND AND ACE

brainlove records compilation which includes tracks by:

aela, alice musics, applicants, bearsuit, capitol k, cats in paris, dead singer, the empty set, the evenings, friends of the bride, gay against you, jam on bread (they used the song 'i heart labrador records, fyi), junkplanet, keyboard choir, modernaire, napoleon iiird, thee oracle, orchestre tout puissant marcel duchamp, pagan wanderer lu, pope joan, pseudo nippon, ratface, the retro spankees, slag rabbit, tim ten yen and winston echo. PHEW! that's a lot of bands and it'll only cost you £3 from me. send me a message/email if you want one.

SERIES TWO RECORDS COMPILATION VOLUME 6/7/8

wonderful international indie pop compilation released by nebraska based cd-r label series two records. there's too many tracks to list all the bands that are on there, but if you click HERE you can find all the information you could ever want, including stuff on how to get a copy of it yourself.

LIFE! DEATH! PRIZES! SPLIT TOUR EP WITH MAT RIVIERE

really nice handmade cd-r released by go team strikeforce, a lovely label from that london run by daniel from smalltown america. ace. includes the tracks:

mat riviere

castroeale

fyh

godless girl

jam on bread

it's always sunny inside

the pros and cons of having a beard

i heart labrador records

plus a 'bonus' cover of mat riviere's song 'the give in'

if you want to buy a copy, send me a message/email or see the instructions below. it'll cost you £3 (+75p for postage, ta). mat riviere's amazing so it's well worth the money. you can check it out on last.fm if you like.

payment instructions! just go to the team strikeforce website and buy it, yeah?

FEAR OF A WACK PLANET

another year, another brainlove compilation for me to ruin. thankfully my song's the last one so you can just press stop when you get to that one. betters songs provided by the likes of internet forever, stairs to korea, sparky deathcap, mat riviere, trademark, a scholar and a physician, lake wobegon, laura wolf, heartbeeps and loads of other ace people too. you can get it from the brainlove records online shop! for £5. ace.

and if my word isn't good enough for you, here's a nice review for you to look at. the writer gets the name of the label wrong a couple of times, but it's pretty gushing so we can forgive that.

future stuff! hopefully i'll be recording an album at some point in the new year. more details as and when they're available. i'm probably going to record some kind of cassette ep before then with some songs that won't be on the album and a couple of cover versions. exciting.

bye for now!

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.

Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.

Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.

Hello Mr Bread,

I am divulging in a silly project in which I am trying to gather up as many lo-fi musicians as possible to do there own versions of The Cure song Just like Heaven.

I enjoy your stuff and think Just like Heaven would translate well to the ukulele.

What d'ya think?

Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect, you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests.

Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME

Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Stephen O'Malley, Type and 12K Records will surely nod in approval.
