Just The Crust 19/02/24: Getner – White Walls 💥

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from GetnerWhite Walls“! 🎶

having been a strong presence on the Manchester scene for a while now, with shows at Manchester Academy, Rose & Monkey and more – they’ve established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, and their debut single only proves this even further. 👊

with high-octane, energetic ferocity throughout the whole track, and lead singer Quentin commanding the space with his powerful yet dynamic, intimate at times, vocals – lending the listener to hang onto his every word. there’s a real influence of blues in their music, but matched with no-nonsense rock and roll, they’ve truly created something that is unique yet so familiar and enticing to anyone who listens to their music. well worth a listen! 🎧

the single is available to stream on all platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/531TXpl8FdE0GP7AGZBG0N – give it a listen and see what you think for yourself! 🙌

Just The Crust 12/02/24: Grey Mare – Kevin 🥪

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Grey Mare, “Kevin“! 🥪

this is the second offering from the Manchester-based alternative rock outfit, after performing across the city and the release of their debut single, which garnered a great response from indie/shoegaze fans around – well worth checking out. 🙌

this new tune sounds great, with a real shoegaze and ambient element behind it – a gorgeous atmosphere behind the track. opening up with an infectious guitar melody, and hard-hitting drumwork, it sets a lovely foundation for the track; giving plenty of space for lead singer Nathan to control the track with apt lyricism, and strong vocal melodies. the lead guitar perfectly compliments the rest of the track, coming in so softly with expertly-crafted riffs. it’s a fantastic tune! ☀️

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4V8tr8jnCMOvR4edJ3vpH1 – give it a spin! 💿
