Bryde aka Sarah Howells, is a woman and an electric guitar, playing fierce
and fragile songs. Swaying from vulnerable to uncompromising within one
verse and chorus, Bryde's music is honest and furiously authentic. Fans have
compared the music to acts as varied as Stevie Nicks, The Cranberries, Jeff
Buckley, Lucy Dacus and even Taylor Swift.

hold close a defiant and life-affirming quality. Described as being about
entangling and unravelling they move from tender and delicate, to tough and
unforgiving.

producers such as Jolyon Thomas ( Royal Blood) and Bill Ryder-Jones (Saint
Saviour) Radio support reflected this coming from the likes of Huw Stephens
