In a year that saw a much overhyped Oasis reunion and an even more unlikely return for Britpop heroes Gene, Breeze mightn’t have been the most talked about band, but the three lads from Hull began 2025 by sharing one of their strongest singles to date.
‘Devils Hymn’ made an instant impression with its bombastic intro, coupling heavy beats with a huge sounding, blues rock influenced guitar sound. The absolutely crushing groove gave a brief insight into how Royal Blood might sound with a fierce lead guitarist, or if The Stone Roses’ ‘Love Spreads’ were to inspire something with a little more muscle. The song’s verses explored a more melodic sound, taking cues from more of an indie rock influence, dropping more than a hint of Embrace into an already potent mix. It’s no wonder the band had built up a reputation as a live act.
