Just The Crust 10/08/26: Pillow Fort – Codename Kids Next Year 🌠

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Codename Kids Next Year” by pillow fort 💥

their first single in three years, the Nottingham trio have made a real name for themselves over the past decade, having played all across the UK and sharing the stage with names such as Michael Cera Palin and Crywank, selling out cassette tape runs of their previous EPs and cementing themselves within the UK DIY emo scene 👊

the track sounds fantastic, marking a new era of more direct, emotionally charged material – opening with a driving guitar chord progression that flows excellently alongside huge drums and bass, giving a real energetic foundation for the vocal to take command over. the lyrics are raw and honest, we love how personal and conversational they are, spilling secrets and emotion, conveying both anger and vulnerability effortlessly. it’s a brilliant listen 💥

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and the full music video is available to watch on YouTube over at https://youtu.be/8qPV9FCfB5E 🎧

Just The Crust 03/08/26: The Ruffians – Angela Raynor (Big Tesco) 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new debut single “Angela Raynor (Big Tesco)” from The Ruffians 💥

the Manchester-based alternative-punk outfit have been making a name for themselves in the North West for the past two years, with their energetic, unpredictable performances and anthemic tunes. we’ve had them perform for us a bunch, and we’re always in awe of their excellent songwriting talent, with such down-to-earth and lively performances 👊

this single sounds fantastic, and having heard it a bunch at shows, we can safely say it’s captured the raw energy of their live performance 🥁 there’s proper driving energy behind the track, with a grungey bassline that accompanies a powerful drum pattern creating a proper solid foundation, and there’s a fantastic element of dynamic in the balance from the build-up to the punky, fast-paced main riff, building effortlessly throughout and maintaining a proper excellent flow right to the end of the track 🌙

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/6arKI4haNVlC9IN9YsNM7K – well worth checking out 🔈
