Just The Crust 10/03/25: Kyle Toolan – Such A Long Time ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Such A Long Time” from Kyle Toolan! 🎶

we’ve known Kyle for a good while now, having had him perform at our open mics, gigs and the such over the last few years, and we’re massive fans of his music – intricately-written tracks, with a real passion put into each of them, and his drive and motivation to create is always inspiring 🙌

this new single sounds fantastic, with having listened to his previous tracks a bunch we knew we were in for something special but it sounds even better than we expected! his lyricism here is on-point, raw and personal emotion poured into every line, guitar melodies that compliment his vocal lines expertly, and a full band backing sound to give it a real sense of groove – it’s a superb listen! it gives us vibes of 90’s alternative rock bands, yet mixed in with a 70’s mellow songwriter style; giving that nostalgic feel yet still modern and unique to himself. 👊

you can find it on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/1yTpB3BdPV0jxBlvFLktTB?si=b316bd51bafe4ae4 – give it a spin! 😊

Just The Crust 03/03/25: Tallulah Guard – Clear Cut 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Clear Cut” from Tallulah Guard! 🙌

it’s safe to say we’re huge fans of Tallulah’s music, having had them perform for us a bunch over the past few years and covering a load of their previous tracks, all of which are incredible 👊

this new single proves that Tallulah’s releases can only get better and better, getting into it right from the get-go with a full band sound, with crisp production and a real driving groove to it – opening up for their vocal to take centre-stage on the first verse. Tallulah’s lyricism is direct, raw and honest – a real down-to-earth sense to their writing, and this track not only feels like a real insight into their feelings, but written with expert prose and poetic ability. with anthemic choruses, a real 90’s alternative reminiscence present yet a modern, unique atmosphere, they’ve put out an incredible track that not only speaks to the modern society of today, but directly challenges the status quo in a expertly crafted manner. 🤝

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a music video available to watch on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHY5oS79UP – well worth checking out! 🎥
