Just The Crust 24/02/25: Sura Laynes – Smalltown Love Song ๐ŸŽถ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Smalltown Love Song” from Sura Laynes! ๐Ÿ‘Š

the Derby-based indie rock band have put out a strong collection of singles already, and with having performed a whole bunch of gigs in the local area, they’ve really made their mark on the scene as ones to watch ๐Ÿค˜

this new single sounds fantastic, there’s echoes of various influence in it, ranging from Jesus and The Mary Chain, to more anthemic indie rock acts like Oasis, and there’s a lovely groove behind the track, a moody backdrop that sets the tone for Walsh’s vocals to really take command of the tune. the drums and bass create a luscious atmosphere, and the droney guitarwork gives us a real 90’s alternative feel, and the lyrics paint an incredible portrait of love and romance – it’s a brilliant listen! ๐ŸŽง

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a full music video available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ5fSoD3_5Q – well worth checking out! ๐ŸŽถ

Just The Crust 17/02/25: Frank & The Beats – Shoot The Cameras ๐ŸŽถ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new debut single “Shoot The Cameras” by Frank & The Beats ๐Ÿ‘Š

we’ve known Frank for a good while now, having been performing across Manchester at our open mics, and we’ve popped him on a few solo sets – he’s got a band together now, and we were honoured to have him perform with them at our last “BAKED” band night, they were class ๐Ÿ™Œ

this new single sound lovely, with a lovely ringing acoustic guitar forming the basis of the track, driving rhythm with the bass and drums enhancing the foundation, and lovely guitar riffs throughout the track echoing Frank’s commanding and strong vocal – a great folk-rock tune. the lyricism is on-point, with introspective and thoughtful commentary, proving his ability as a songwriter ๐ŸŽธ
