Music The album 'This Is The Tomb Of The Juice' [Big Cat Records, 2004] from Meteor Award Winners, Republic of Loose features an Emmet Cole ditty, "Black Bread". In a previous incarnation, The Republic of Loose were Johnny Pyro and the Rock Coma. When I left they replaced me with a guitar player, which was a bit of surprise. But don't wait until NME tells you to, check them out right here: Republic of Loose "THE MOST EXCITING NEW BAND SINCE OASIS" - Neil McCormick, THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

RELY ON PURE FEEL" - THE OBSERVER, 4/5
from Unpeeled: http://www.unpeeled.co.uk/index.php?page=GIG%20GUIDE&action_page=normal_content&ContentID=12 Usually, white men’s attempts to play black are risible, but the Republic Of Loose have that genuine looseness, not lazy, not casual, quite the reverse, but relaxed, confident in the power of the material and their ability to render it up, “Sweet Cola Of Mercy” being a to the micron fit for those looking for a skinny n strong, jungle blues growl and “Black Bread” being a brooding yawl on chopped swamp riffs that light up the mix like stoned fireflies.
from Virtual Festivals:
Black Bread – There’s something remarkably grown-up going on here. Again, this song relies heavily on the most basic of back-beats and the simplest of chord-changes, but like they say – less is more. “One day we’ll all be dead…but not on the same day, yeah.”
