Personal upheaval often drives artists to create their most exceptional work, and Every Other Weekend—the current musical project of Manchester songwriter Chris Bull—seems to be no exception.
After years of adversity—including the loss of his father, the breakdown of his marriage, and the end of his former band, City Reign—Bull’s latest single feels less like a commercial bid and more like a page torn from his personal diary. His intimate, beautifully unfiltered vocals transform the listening experience into something conversational. It feels as though you’re sharing a glass of wine with him, caught in a strikingly honest and introspective moment.
Musically, “Memories” is rooted in acoustic indie pop-rock. There’s nothing trend-chasing about it—quite the opposite. The song deliberately avoids excessive production, and that restraint is precisely what makes it feel so real and authentic. Acoustic guitars drive the track forward while their electric counterparts add a gentle jangle. The drums and bass are tightly interwoven, providing a subtle but steady foundation. Oh … and I particularly appreciate the George Harrison-esque chord choices in the chorus—impressive work by any standard.
Anyone who has a palate for organic sounding, melodic pop-rock will love “Memories” by Every Other Weekend. It’s very good indeed.
