Old Salts are an alternative rock band who are set to leave an impression with the release of their debut single ‘Take a Breather’ due out on 21-01-2022.
The song will be one of four singles released off their forthcoming EP ‘Stories told by the Sea’.
‘Take a Breather’ is an enthusiastic drinking song which also references taking a break so there's a lot of space for interpretation of lyrics. ‘Take a Breather’ is seasoned with influences from Primus and Them Crooked Vultures and has more rawness and grit than their upcoming releases. Each of four songs on the upcoming EP fall within the parameters of alt rock, from serious to satire, moody rock ballads to angsty rock anthems. There is an assortment of goodies rich in vitamins to sustain any listeners tastes and dietary needs. ‘Take a Breather’ will wet the whistle and leave you wanting more.
Engineered and Produced by Graham Gilleberg at the beautiful Mount Tiger Studios in Whangarei.

Alt rockers Old Salts hail from the shores of Bream Bay, Northland.
An "old salt" is defined as an old sailor or mariner who tells oral history and sea stories. While these boys don’t claim to be old salty sea dogs they all love spinning a yarn and share a connection with the ocean whether it's surfing, fishing or diving. They are brought together with a passion for playing music and want to create something a bit different.
Old Salts are made up of members
John Buckle (Lead Vocals / Guitar) Scott Brown ( Lead Guitar / BV) Marcus Jones (Bass / BV) Lucas Hargreaves (Drums / BV)
