13th Apr 202613th Apr 2026artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new single “The Vampire” from Double Negative 👊

originating in Bolton in 2024, the alternative-rock 4 piece have been performing across Manchester and the surrounding areas for a good while now, and have established themselves as a real presence on the local scene 👊

this new single is evidence of their innate ability to write an infectious and raw tune, with driving rhythm forming the foundation of the track, which allows for the vocal to take centre-stage and ensure the listener’s attention, complimented excellently by the lead guitar riff, which culminates in a real down-to-earth sound they’re able to call their own, using a variety of influences from different genres to hone their craft. 🎶

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/4bKpPoamYrM8ZlwKBMn97V -well worth a listen! 🎧

Just The Crust 06/04/26: Arliston – The Older I Get (Live At 123 Studios) 🎶

6th Apr 20266th Apr 2026artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new live single from Arliston “The Older I Get“, live at 123 Studios 👊

the americana/folk outfit have been making their mark for a good few years now, and with a fantastic back catalogue of music behind them, they’ve released this live track to celebrate a year since their debut album! 💿

the track sounds fantastic, a gorgeous soundscape crafted between the acoustic guitar and cello, which work in perfect unison to provide a luscious backdrop for the vocal – the delicate delivery and raw lyricism ensure the listener is hanging onto every word. we love the slow build of the full instrumentation in the first chorus, and it culminates in a lovely, flowing outro to the track, feeling both intimate and open; it’s a gorgeous listen and we can’t wait to hear what they’ve got in store next! 🤝

you can find the track on all streaming platforms and there’s a full live music video available over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTLPY4tB_6E 🎬
