our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Getner “Poitín” 🙌

we had them perform for us the other week and they were absolutely incredible, with such a great energy and stage presence, plus so many bangers under their belt 👊

this new single “Poitín” sounds unreal, a lovely atmospheric vibe and super droney, as Quentin’s vocal commands the attention of the listener – there’s an incredible build in this song too, slowly unravelling to the chorus that’s a real earworm. there’s a lovely rock and roll element to it, but it’s got so much alternative and grungey influence; a real unique sound to it and a fantastic show of their talent. 👊

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and it’s available to watch on YouTube at https://youtu.be/dVpff_F57Sk – well worth checking out! 💥

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Sheffield’s Pale Sailor “jorts season.“! 🍕

they formed last year, and this is their second single – after a fantastic debut track in March, which really set the scene for their emo/mid-west tone, with intricate soundscapes and intimate lyricism. we love their attention to detail, with gorgeous riffs and upbeat rhythm forming their music – and their second single here only accentuates that! 🤝

they’ve gone from strength to strength over the past few months, and “jorts season.” sounds fantastic, with grungey undertones, honest lyricism and driving rhythm really coming together to create an amazing tune. it’s got a lovely groove behind it, and there’s a brilliant dynamic, with a real sense of build throughout the whole track, proving their quality. what a track! 💫

you can find the single on all streaming platforms, and there’s a music video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L75BnPQ6AFs – well worth checking out! 👊

our feature for this week’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Sea of Sorrow” from the ever-incredible Luna Marble 👊

we’ve had them perform for us a bunch now, and they always astound us with their high-energy performances, quality musicianship, amazing band chemistry and insane stage presence – they know exactly how to entertain a crowd 🙌

we loved their previous releases, and this new tune only exceeds our expectations; a more atmospheric intro compared to their previous tracks, but with a gorgeous groove setting the scene, with Maria’s vocals gracefully taking control of the soundscape – and the drop into the guitar riff is absolutely lush.. a fantastic riff that commands your attention immediately. the balance of the vocal and the guitar is so lovely, complimenting each other perfectly throughout – and set to a really tight rhythm section that just completes the sound perfectly. 💥 another incredible tune under their belt!

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/71q2rLsq24j3E2nPhk5bRu – well worth a listen 🎧

today’s feature for our Just The Crust is the brand new single from LEASH “Restless“! 🙌

the Manchester noise-rock outfit have returned with a brand new single after their debut EP, and they’re back with an explosive track – energetic, grooving and pushing the barriers of genre, it’s an incredible tune 🎶

you can hear inspiration from so many areas, from post-punk to industrial to hip-hop, utilising as many elements at their disposal to really create something truly unique. the contrast between the calmness of the verses to the chaos of the breaks and choruses sets a frantic but luscious soundscape, and the vocals command the listener’s attention throughout – an incredible first release of the year for them! 🤝

Categories artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment on Just The Crust 13/05/24: William Cawley – Regine/Or? 👊

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from William Cawley, “Regine/Or?” ☀️

we covered his previous release towards the end of last year, and his upbeat indie-rock styling is great, reminiscent of surf rock and 60’s sounds; chock full of jangly guitars, vocal harmonies and singalong vibes. 👊

this new single is more of a downbeat, moody and atmospheric vibe – especially with the guitar tone, a more post-punk 80’s feel, yet still with the energetic drumbeat that we became accustomed to in his previous work. it’s a more direct track lyrically, a more ambient feel yet still full on and loud 🙌 the breakdown at the end is like a lovely contrast to the rest of the track, and it jumps straight back into a final run of the chorus expertly.

you can find the track on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1KGAiXeLAgZmrIzpxBDqga – well worth a listen! 🎧

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from VALA “Fishing God“! 👊

we’ve covered VALA a bunch over the past year or so and we’re always blown away by the quality of their tunes, so many belters and they’ve got a super unique sound; and when we caught them live at The Deaf Institute they were incredible, a brilliant night. 😊

this new EP only continues this trend, with a couple of tracks that we’re already huge fans of, and a few new ones thrown in there too! their lo-fi indie pop sound is on full force here, with lush guitar tones throughout and feelgood upbeat vibes – set to a lovely laidback atmosphere. the opener “Change Your Mind” is one of the new ones, and it sounds incredible, a real show of their unique style. amazing! well worth checking out, a bunch of great tunes! 🎶

you can find the EP on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs – definitely worth listening, a load of great tracks in their back catalogue too! 🤝

Categories artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment on Just The Crust 29/04/24: Keddy Sowels – Reflection 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Keddy Sowels “Reflection“!

a regular face here in Manchester, he’s been performing across the city at gigs and open mics and already has some lovely tunes out – well worth checking them out; and his brand new single here marks a different direction for the indie-rock artist. 🎸

“Reflection” is more of an electronic track, moving away from the guitar-based indie anthemic tone of his previous tracks, with synths and electronic drums making their way to the forefront of the tune – and with less singing, more rapping – it shows a different side to his music. 🎶 still maintaining the political and social commentary of his earlier tracks, it’s a stark look at the state of current society.

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/7erGB63SVoZJpFC7ABPHjf – check it out! 💥

we love Ethan’s music, always a pleasure to listen to it and we’ve had them perform for us a bunch – with spellbinding performances and such intrinsically crafted sets, they’re well worth catching live! 👊

after a trio of fantastic singles from the album, they’ve released the full release and it sounds mega – mixing indie-folk with raucous americana and punk rock elements, truly making their sound their own! 🎶
