"I'm no good at telling stories" says Sarah Howells aka Bryde " I
prefer truths.. probably far too much." Honesty (or oversharing as she
often calls it) is something that's integral to everything Bryde. She
finds the fake personas and hyperbole of the entertainment industry
frequently hard to stomach and this is reflected in everything from her
"torn from the chest lyrics" (Sunday Times) to her on-line presence.
It's not a surprise then that Sarah's music is growing an ever more
passionate and loyal following. It's purpose, to make you feel
something; less alone, more determined, stronger yet safe to show
weakness.
In April 2018 Bryde released her Welsh Music Award nominated debut album 'Like an Island' to glowing reviews from fans and press alike. Co-produced with Chris Sorem and mixed by Catherine J Marks (Big Moon, The Amazons) it hit the Official Indie Chart at #38. The band went on to do a Maida Vale Session for Radio 1, the BBC Quay Sessions and saw the video for 'Less' featured on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch. Lead single 'To Be Brave' went into the Spotify UK Viral chart at #27 after New Music Friday and other playlist support. Radio support came from Radio 1 (Daniel P Carter, Huw Stephens, Phil Taggart) Amazing Radio chart, Tom Robinson on 6music, Radio X and BBC Radio Wales.
After playing a long list of festivals such as Latitude, Boardmasters and 2000 Trees, Sarah has spent the early autumn supporting bands such as Arcane Roots, The Joy Formidable & Tiny Ruins.
"Bryde invokes the ambience of Warpaint and emotion of Laura Marling in her impressive debut" - Dork
"...a wild, passionate and cathartic record. It flits between the raw and rockier moments of PJ Harvey to the tender and confessional nature of Sharon Van Etten" - Record Of The Day
"An electrified singer-songwriter with Buckley's hypnotic, chiming spaciousness" - Total Guitar
"Feral Guitar, Torn-from-the-chest lyrics...sensational" - Sunday Times Culture
"Bryde's voice, equally stunning and chilling, climbs to a plainspoken conclusion that cuts with its honesty." - NPR
"There's nowhere to hide in Bryde's tunes" - Dork
"...searing" - DIY
"A voice that deserves attention" - Consequence of Sound
"swirling wave of tidal resonance that confidently sits between Scout Niblett and Sharon Van Etten" - The Line of Best Fit
