Bread and Circuits were a band that formed in 1999 and released a self-titled LP on Ebullition Records, recorded material for a split with Former Members of Alfonsin, and broke up before the latter was even released.

The members were Torches To Rome's Mike Kirsch, Jose Palafox (of Struggle and Swing Kids ), Mag (of Yaphet Kotto), and Chuck Shackelford (of Q Factor). Ebullition describes the sound of Bread and Circuits as "where Torches To Rome ended with a sound that is similar, but even more developed. Explosive and high energy hardcore as well done as you would expect considering the people involved. Melodic, powerful and extremely sincere."

The band made extensive use of samples, for example of Fela Kuti, a feature that was to be even more prevalent in Mike Kirsch's next band, the media-soaked Please Inform the Captain This is a Hijack. Mike Kirsch also went on to play in Colbom, a band which also included drummer Aaron Cometbus of Crimpshrine fame. The two musicians had played together before -most notably in Pinhead Gunpowder.
