our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the newest single from Gallaher’s Green “Young Man’s Game”
we had these guys perform for us back in January for our On The Rise at Lions Den Manchester and we were amazed by their formidable stage presence, their energetic tunes and down-to-earth energy! played a proper blinder for us as well.
this new tune only exemplifies all of that, with a massive guitar riff kicking off the track, showing what they’re about right from the get-go. you can really feel the chemistry that the band has here, with the drums and bass locked in real tight to create a steady groove for the track to flow over, and the catchy, memorable lyrics portray the message of the tune superbly. as the track progresses, it builds and builds with such ease and creates a gorgeous space for that guitar solo to shine in. a fantastic tune!
you can find the track on all the streaming sites or you can check out the full video at https://youtu.be/-W1u1UdCAvU well worth a watch!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Bonfire Tide “The Old Boys“!
we were astounded by their first few releases back in 2021, really encapsulating a unique sound consisting of modern indie rock music, with a real touch of nostalgia for 2000’s contemporary folk music – yet defining themselves as ones to watch with intricate melodies and honed musicianship.
they’ve gone above and beyond with this new release, not only remaining true to their original sound but expanding upon it, with a gorgeous backdrop to the track, laced with delicate piano runs, cello flowing throughout the soundscape, all which only compliment David’s vocal – you can tell that there’s been time and effort put into every single melody on the track to ensure that it all comes together to create something special. the explosivity of the latter section of the track creates a gorgeous contrast within it, driving the hook home and establishing a real sense of ferocity in their music.
you can find the single over on YouTube with a full music video over at https://youtu.be/Y8Ua1SZZkBw – it’s available to stream on all the platforms as well. well worth a listen, we can’t wait to hear more!
