Bryde

Guitarist and vocalist Sarah Howells ditched Uni in favour of bombing round the UK on a battered old sofa wedged into the back of a transit van. Raised on 90s grunge and 00s emo early biographies mentioned influences like Deftones and Hole, Tori Amos and Jeff Buckley later shifting to Bon Iver, Cat Power and The National.

In 2016, several incarnations later, Bryde emerged. An electric guitar-led solo project described by the Sunday Times as “sensational, feral guitar” which seemed to reflect these influences in a way that previous projects hadn’t.
