Leeds indie band Eades call themselves "dad rock" right now, a self-depracating label that not quite fits their new single The Other Side of Life. The snarling vocals, the unrepenting guitars, if anything it is more Britpop with a seasoning of 60s pop, plus it is one-fingered to the music industry, who is all about content and not art nowadays. Give an act a bit of leeway to find their bearings and grow organically? Not going to happen when signed to a major. Independent labels may not have the clout to reach the public at large, but they do love music. All they need is a lucky break, but if not, they will be OK in their niche, where they will find people who go to live shows and spend money at the merch table.
The Other Side of Life is released via Breakfast Records. Their Final Sirens Call album will be released on September 18.
