Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single from Scatterchild “Run Too Far“!

We’ve been big fans of Scatterchild’s music since discovering him during the pandemic, with his intricately crafted tracks with such attention to detail – his headline for us at Cultplex earlier this month was phenomenal, a real indication of his talent.

After the release of his EP in November last year we’ve been waiting for new music from him and this doesn’t disappoint – setting the mood right from the get-go with a luscious guitar pattern, driving rhythm and a carefully-constructed soundscape behind him, his vocal is given plenty of room to shine through. His songwriting ability is on full display here, being able to convey such emotion through his lyrics, and being able to write a catchy hook without detracting from the purpose of the song, fantastic stuff. We’re always in awe of his intimate and raw lyrical talent

You can find the track on all streaming platforms, and the music video comes out on the 31st August at https://youtu.be/0KXssBDxeKY it looks incredible from what we’ve seen already!

Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Diago, “You“! 🙌

The second single from the North Eastern four-piece, they’ve been making their mark on the Northern scene ever since the release of their debut single “Wild” earlier this year, performing gigs and getting radio plays which is class to see! 👏

This new single “You” expands on their classic indie sound that they brought on their first release, with more dream-pop elements with the tones of the guitar and the laid-back feel of the track. The main vocal feels inviting, taking the listener into the song and allowing them to connect to the lyricism – plus, with an upbeat and singalong hook in the chorus, they’ve shown they can write a proper banger. ⚡ The atmosphere of the song throughout is lovely, really maintaining the feel all the way through the song with gorgeous production and vocal melodies lacing the track, and as it breaks down into the heavier section there’s a real energy behind it all! Fantastic stuff. 😊

You can find the track on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1SYhjAQTQSXbdX7ozdGblH – well worth checking out!

this new tune only continues with their energetic, synth-pop vibes, right from the get-go you can hear the infectious melodies, with a gorgeous synth lead directing the track, and a huge rhythm behind it, the bass, guitar and drums in perfect sync to create a real groove behind the track. this all gives the lead vocalist Tom so much space to excel, and for his powerful vocals to command the track – the chorus is a proper singalong too, we can only imagine this would be mega live! 🤘

their gritty, synthy yet punky and dark tone really sets the backdrop for the track, a gorgeous and spooky atmosphere surrounds them – this is coupled with an infectious groove present throughout, which is sure to get anyone tapping their feet along. the chorus of the track is fantastic, a lovely contrast to the verses, as it almost soars above and elevates to another level; with rising synthesisers, gorgeous tones throughout and powerful vocals, it truly shows off the quality of the band here. 🌜the bridges takes it to even greater lengths, become more and more punky and breaking down so well to open up to the final chorus expertly. definitely one to check out!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Souza “Morning Calling“!

we were blown away by their previous release “Backroads” back in February, only adding to an already strong catalogue of releases under their belt, and this new tune only solidifies the quality in their discography

opening up with an energetic groove behind the track, there’s a real lovely lo-fi atmosphere to it all – the grungey guitar tones sound lovely, creating a lush backdrop for the vocals to shine through. the rhythm section throughout is super tight, holding the track down while the main vocal glides over, and for the lead guitar to find a space for that little riff to excel in. even with the breakdown throughout the second verse, it still keeps up with the energetic feel – excellently executed! the vocal harmonies throughout really gel the track together, and keep it flowing; we imagine this one’ll be a great one live. incredible stuff! plus, guitar solos in abundance on this, and they sound class, showing off the musical quality within the band.

you can find the track in it’s entirety over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0c5hCG9ExwjTFG9YjE5cDy – and the music video is out this Friday!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Flowers Of Evil + The strangerz “Out of Bed“!

we’ve been huge fans of Flowers of Evil since we heard their track “Cherry-AID” last year, with their infectious energy, smooth groove and unexpected track flow and structure, they really put themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the North West scene!

this new single only reinforces their infectious upbeat style, with a gorgeous hook right from the get-go, only to explode into a huge electronic melody that’s sure to get anyone grooving. the dynamic of this song is lush, dropping away and breaking down immediately to push the focus on the vocal, becoming super intimate and proving their musical prowess. the balance between the verses and the choruses is expertly handled, it’s very difficult to create a contrast like this but they’ve pulled it off, the groove of the track is lovely and it flows super well.

the production of the song is fantastic, with really intrinsically created soundscapes, it keeps the attention of the listener so well and there’s a whole bunch of stuff going on, without feeling too much or chaotic in any way – the bridge is almost a dream-like state, flowing effortlessly throughout until it explodes into the final chorus that just gels the track together superbly. we can’t wait to hear this one live!

you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0m3FoEPROirtK5hZpJV7W4 – it’s available to check out on all streaming sites, and is well worth a full listen! another incredible release under their belts.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Porky Pies” by Smoking Gives You Big Tits from their upcoming album “Guts For Starters“!

we’ve been big fans of these guys for ages, having discovered them at gigs here in Manchester over the past few years and we’re huge fans of their massive energy, and unapologetic lyrics – they’ve got a tremendous sound behind them now, giving their songs a truly ferocious rage and splendour about them!

this new single truly encapsulates their sound, opening up with a vast chaotic soundscape of distortion, taking the track by the reins and setting the scene for the song. it falls down into a jarring but infectious groove, the instrumentation working in perfect tandem to pave the way for Helen’s vocals to shine – she immediately captures your attention with her airy tone that glides across the track – and as the chorus comes in, the song comes together beautifully, picking up the pace rapidly, creating a real powerful and ferocious hook that is sure to get any listener grooving along. it’s a fantastic track and it sets the scene for the album beautifully, we can’t wait to hear more when it comes out on the 28th July!

Just The Crust 10/07/23: Tallulah Guard – Pulse 💫

10th Jul 202310th Jul 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

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

we’ve covered Tallulah’s music a bunch in the past, and had them perform for us a few times over the last year or so and we love their energetic and powerful songwriting style, expertly putting words into their music and relaying a variety of emotions and feeling throughout we loved the previous single “Burn“, a driving alternative rock banger reminiscent of early 90’s rock!

this new single takes a more laidback, calmer atmosphere, opening with a lovely guitar fingerstyle melody that sets the tone for the track right from the get-go. as Tallulah’s vocal comes in, you’re invited into the story they’re telling, a delicate anecdote that is softly but expertly delivered throughout, discussing their experiences with disassociation, in a poetic and intricate manner. as the track gets more intense, with a driving rhythm coming in, vocal harmonies building behind the main vocal, synth parts layering the sonic space of the track, it’s a gorgeous track that easily puts Tallulah as one to watch here in the North West.

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/6qmvYktetyEdI7kU7qfPVm – go and have a listen for yourselves and add it to your playlists!
