Bread And Circuits


Bread And Circuits were a five-piece post-hardcore/emo band from the Bay Area, California that were active from around 1998 to 1999 (can't fully confirm). They're perhaps best remembered as one of Sarah Kirsch's many excellent projects (whose résume also includes Navio Forge, Fuel, John Henry West, Torches To Rome, Silver Bearing, Please Inform The Captain This Is A Hijack, and more). In Bread And Circuits, she was also joined by Struggle, Swing Kids, and Yaphet Kotto drummer JOse Palafox. Lyrically, they leaned heavily on sociopolitical issues, playing with an intensely energetic sound that clanged angular, melodic guitars against dual shouted vocals. Their sole LP was an Ebullition release, and highly recommended if you're a fan of the previous bands listed. Enjoy.

  1. Bread And Circuits delivers a powerful blend of post-hardcore energy and poignant sociopolitical lyrics, making their sole LP a must-listen for fans of the genre. With angular melodies and intense dual vocals, they stand out as a remarkable project in Sarah Kirsch's impressive discography.

  2. Don't know if it matters or not, I'm pretty sure that photo is of Torches to Rome and not Bread and Circuits. That looks like Steve Chamberlain on bass there.
