Just The Crust 31/01/22: Harrison Rimmer – The End 🤘

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Harrison Rimmer “The End”! 🎸

yet another fantastic release from Harrison, a great friend of the label here and such a brilliant musician with so much energy and drive, an inspiration for us here on the scene! 😊 we’ve seen him live a fair few times over the last few months and every single time he smashes it, one to definitely catch at a gig!

this new single delves into more of the punk and metal inspiration for him, with driving riffs, angry and powerful vocals and just such a drive behind the track, really hammering home that he’s here to rock and roll 🤘 the chorus sounds so massive and great lyricism all the way through as we’ve got used to with Harrison’s songs!!

we’re huge fans of the outro and breakdown in this track too – moving away from the other folky rock tunes, going into almost metal with drum fills all over, melodic power chords building up and harmonic notes pulled out of nowhere.. it’s brilliant! 🏵 a real indication of Harrison’s diverse talent, going from folky singer songwriter vibes to full on punk and metal madness. what a talent!

make sure you head on over and check out the track in full – you can find it over on his Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1eJ8om60lDDNXsPujRvv6j or the full music video was released last week at https://youtu.be/hD1zM1gVZD4 😎 such a great talent on the North West scene!!

Just The Crust 24/01/22: Cliché Cult – Say It Like You Mean It 🤘

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Cliché Cult “Say It Like You Mean It”, out this coming Friday 28th January ☀️

the Leeds-based alternative rockers have released a flurry of fantastic singles over the past year or two, and this is their first release of 2022 – they’ve had some fantastic tunes out in the past which have really set them as ones to watch in Yorkshire! 😎

this new tune “Say It Like You Mean It” is a proper belter, with lovely guitar riffs driving the track forward, chorusey and ambient melodies throughout and boss vocal ability throughout, paired with lovely lyricism – it’s a real class tune to not miss out on if you’re a fan of indie, alternative or post-punk bands 🤘

we’re huge fans of the ending to the track, building and building keeping you in a state of suspense as the tune unravels and opens up – and the way that the bass and drums maintain the groove of the track whilst holding their own is class! 🎸 a real well-crafted song, great to see this calibre of stuff coming out.

this tune will be released on this Friday 28th January – make sure you head over to their Spotify and drop em a follow at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wIIaLPfQvlqIFgGjD0lXA to be notified as soon as it drops! alternatively you can pre-save it at https://distrokid.com/…/clich…/say-it-like-you-mean-it-2📼 released on Shoplifters Union!

Just The Crust 17/01/22: HWY – Come Up 🙌

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the debut single from Manchester-based alternative rockers HWY “Come Up”! 🤘

exploding onto the scene with this debut release, they’ve really started out on a high! blending elements of punk, grunge, and alternative rock, they’ve really created a gorgeous and unique sound for themselves. it’s a must-listen for any heavier fans out there, but we reckon it’ll suit fans of any genre! ☀️

with gorgeous guitar picking throughout the track, hard-hitting and driving drumbeats, and then a lovely lead vocal that moulds the track together so well and really paints a picture with the lyricism, it’s a fantastic tune. 😎 when the chorus comes in, it really ignites the power of the track, opening up to a huge sound. the breakdown of the track is super lush too, mellowing out the track into a final eruption of their metal and alternative rock influence, dropping seamlessly into double time and really throwing the tune into overdrive. absolutely fantastic stuff from these chaps! 🪐

you can find the track over on their Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/2vwjiY3CQUtVvwLaXewiB0 alongside other streaming platforms, or the full music video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQU_S6efB4c – well worth a watch, really well done. definitely one that they should be proud of and we can’t wait to hear more from them! 🏵

Just The Crust 10/01/22: Bonfire Tide – Elskan 🏵

today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new single from Bonfire Tide “Elskan”! ☀️

returning after the success of their debut single, they’ve done a fantastic debut gig, had radio and playlists play their tunes, and now they’ve got another great tune under their belt. 😊

with a gorgeous and soulful piano line, fantastic vocals comparable to the likes of The National and Bon Iver, the track sounds absolutely dreamy. sounding absolutely perfect for a rainy and calm day, or when you’re in the mood to unwind and relax 🥰 the vocal harmonies throughout really bring the track to life, and the calming yet intricate instrumentation really shows the high calibre of musicianship throughout the band.

they’ve really set the bar with this release, only their second single yet it has all the qualities of a band who have been together for a long time – sounding so fantastic! 🏵 head on over to their Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/36VXZhpyAWDKjVHnywV2UK to find the track in full, or go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hv8SedOObk to check out the music video!

Just The Crust 03/01/22: Rob Crampton – Rich Man’s Clothes ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Rob Crampton Music “Rich Man’s Clothes”! 🤘

throughout the last year or so, Rob’s been putting out a great range of singles and this latest one is another fantastic one to add to his roster. 😊 recorded over at the amazing Sloe Flower Studio who are absolute magic ✨

Rob’s amazing songwriting ability is super apparent throughout this track, really blending that old country/americana feel with a modern twist in his Manchester roots. a real mellow song predominantly led by finger-picked acoustic guitar, Rob’s vocal is soothing as he tells his story throughout the track. ❄️

this reminds of the old-school storytelling of the likes of Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and the classic folk heroes – with touching and relatable lyricism, we’re sure that Rob will be one to watch for the future. 😎 head on over to his Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1sfpo5adamTHrcmLRWmVuN to find his full discography, or head on to his YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRPdnH0m0FQ to check out the music video! fantastic stuff. 🤠

Just The Crust 20/12/21: Superfriends – How To Live Life ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Superfriends “How To Live Life”! 🤘

the Brighton-based trio have been recording brand new music over the past year or so and this is their first release, put out just yesterday! 😎 we love the 90’s alternative influence in there, feeling like a mixture of Built To Spill with modern-day Courtney Barnett.

combining contemplative lyricism of future hopes, energetic rhythms, and restless breakdowns – they’ve really pushed the boat out for their first single, setting the scene for more releases on the horizon.. we can’t wait to hear more from them! 🌹 great stuff and we can see them going far 🙌h
