Every Other Weekend makes a strong introduction with Come Back (When You Feel Like), the debut single that marks Chris Bull’s return to releasing music after nearly a decade away.
Every Other Weekend – Come Back (When You Feel Like)
Based in London, Every Other Weekend is Bull’s new creative chapter following his time as the frontman of Manchester indie outfit City Reign.
To understand the significance behind this new project, it is helpful to examine its origins. Every Other Weekend stems from the end of City Reign, particularly the period surrounding their final album Dasein (2015). That record was shaped by Bull’s father’s cancer diagnosis, a deeply personal experience captured on its closing track There You Are. Music had always been a defining part of their relationship, and after his father died in 2015, Bull found himself unable to write, entering what he described as “a quiet and private depression.” This was the beginning of his long hiatus from music.
A turning point came in 2017, after the separation from his then-wife. Living alone for the first time, Bull began saving voice notes of stray melodies and testing out early lyric ideas. Bit by bit, he started reconnecting with the act of songwriting. With encouragement from a close friend and former Abbey Road engineer, Mick Morrison, he took the next step: recording again. Using his father’s old equipment in his mother’s garage, he self-produced the track that would eventually become Come Back (When You Feel Like).
As Bull puts it: “It was a reminder that self-expression and the things that bring us joy never leave us. And if we have to put them down from time to time to give ourselves space to deal with the challenges life throws at all of us, that’s ok too.”
Fast-forward to today, and Come Back (When You Feel Like) emerges as a track shaped by melodic backing vocals, a memorable chorus, and lyrically charged emotion. It reflects Chris Bull’s renewed drive to create, feeling very much like a reset, an opportunity for a genuine fresh start in more than one sense.
“Come Back (When You Feel Like) stands as more than an energetic alternative release; it signals a genuine restart for Every Other Weekend and hints at everything still waiting ahead on the horizon”.
Come Back (When You Feel Like) will appear on Every Other Weekend’s forthcoming debut album, All Present and Inept, a project seven years in the making and scheduled for release in early 2026.
