about

Just Like Yesterday is the culmination of Springloader's effort to capture their vision in recorded form. The band started this album in 1994 and delivered it, after many diversions, in 2024 as if it was "Just Like Yesterday".

The album has spent 5 weeks in the NZ top 10 and the first single has entered the charts at number 27.

The band are looking at gigs late next year in support of their second album "One More Thing".

Out on deluxe CD with 12 page booklet double gate-fold card sleeve with liner notes, lyrics & Chord charts & alternative tuning info!!!
A long process to completion. (liner notes for full story). Mostly recorded from 2020 - 23, reconvening to finish what they started in 1994, to write cinematic indie powerpop around specially designed guitar tunings to combine notes & tones that stretched fingers & standard chords forms could not reach.
The result is a dense, melodic & energetic journey. powerpop-indie-alt-rock of title track, to the motion picture epics of "Falling Away"& "Too Close" @ 6 mins. The title adds a poignant counter relevance not lost on the band as they deliver an album of indie gaze dreampop with a cinematic soundtrack bent created over a 30 year period as if no time has passed at all.

Reviews
But more than any of that, there’s an experimental bent at play on Just Like Yesterday which might just give the album an important point of difference, to give it, a degree of timelessness. And there’s a sense that Just Like Yesterday could just as easily have been made during any of the rock n roll eras, bar perhaps, the very first one.

‘Just Like Yesterday’ (the track) really is the perfect title track and advance single. An almost Byrdsian indie power-pop gem,

Just Like Yesterday feels a bit more than the mere sum of its parts. Whatever else it might be, for me, it is already working as a stylistic reference point to a particular time and place. Which is never a bad thing to be. And yet, yet … as alluded to above, it’s not really that at all. Mike Hollywood- Everythingsgonegreen blog

Just Like Yesterday’ is a superbly coherent album. There are waves and walls and chimes of guitars. The guitars flow and surge, and you can become immersed in the incoming and outgoing of the tides. Or, to use some spring-based analogies, the guitars coil, twist and curl. – Ian Duggan HUP

After the quality opening track, there are more memorable moments in Falling Away, One More Thing, and Closer To Further Away. Sometimes it is upbeat, and at others it is melancholy and reflective, Just Like Yesterday covers a range of moods and feelings. There is an undeniable quality with the subtle melody of frontman Mayes bleeding into the on-point drumming and rhythm section. - Peter Thornton – Muzic.net.nz

The excellent, on-going Failsafe reissue/release programme continues with this bright, blazing collection of disciplined, assertive and loud power pop with hooks so huge you could haul out a Great White with one. Rob Mayes’ guitar playing here is something quite extraordinary.
What's in hand is exhilarating powered-up shoegaze, hard pop and chiming melodic songs like Now I Know which was one of the few songs that came out in the band's first iteration. With its slightly droning quality you do wonder why it wasn't a huge radio hit at the time when Britpop was all over the place.
What is striking about Springloader is their keen sense of melody at the songs' core, their sonic, and emotional intensity. Another handsome and lovingly packaged collection. Graham Reid – Elsewhere.co.nz
