The track is the sixth release from the upstart band.

Melding jangle-pop and post-punk sounds into something that feels distinctly their own, Soup! are only six tracks into their existence but have carved out a real niche for themselves in the UK music scene. Their latest single ‘Daily Bread’ moves with an incessant sense of energy and drive throughout its short duration, and continues to showcase exactly why so many are lauding the outfit and their off-kilter appeal.

The track explores themes of boredom and monotony with day to day life, and the mundane nature of repeating the same cycles over and over. The track itself however, feels anything but, boasting an exciting sound that packs more than its fair share of darkness lurking underneath. If ‘Daily Bread’ is a track about the repetitive and predictable aspects of life, then the track itself presents as a slick antithesis of this problem.
