our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the latest single from Cottons “Breathe”! 🤘

we had these guys on a few years ago down at The Old Abbey Taphouse for a headline gig and it’s been absolutely amazing to see them going from strength to strength and evolving their sound, a real class indie-rock band here in Manchester. 😊

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new album from David Shurr “Under The Hood”! 🥪

a full-length album of twelve songs, this album truly shows off Shurr’s fantastic ability as a songwriter and an artist. 😊 blending psychedelic atmospheres with folky and indie genres, he’s able to create his own imprint on the musical scene and we love the relaxed and mellow vibes of it. 🤘

not only that, the production on the album is lovely, with expertly crafted soundscapes from the instrumentation, and Shurr’s vocals sound fantastic on this – brilliant work from all involved here. 🤠 from the relaxed and airy opener “Top To Bottom”, the album then evolves through songs like the acoustic ballad of “Never Grown” and then through to the bluesy “The Thread Connecting Us” 🌠 absolutely fantastic range of tunes whilst still maintaining his unique style.

head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/7o1E4iRz11Lb3hXha1SUr8 to find the album in full – give it a whirl, you won’t be disappointed! 🤘 also available to purchase on Bandcamp too!

our feature for this week’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from the North East’s Leopard Rays 🤘

their latest song, “Carried Away” is yet another strong single from the indie rock outfit. with lovely guitar licks throughout, driving drums and basslines, matched with a fantastic vocal and quality songwriting, the tune really echoes working class indie tunes of the 2000s 😎 it’s a no-nonsense banger that you can belt out at the top of your voice at a gig!

we love the build up to that huge outro chorus, dropping away and building up and up until the finale of the track – absolutely fantastic from these chaps! 🙌 definitely worth checking the rest of their singles out as well, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for them! 😊

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from The Battery Farm🤘

self-proclaimed “gutter punks” of Manchester, The Battery Farm have been tearing up stages for a few years now, with their energetic sets, driving tunes and formidable stage presence – they’re absolutely amazing live, every time we’ve caught them we’ve been blown away ☀️

the new EP features some of their previous singles this year, such as “Roy Keane Isn’t Real” and “When The Whip Goes Crack” – they toe the line between serious and having a laugh so well 😊 with huge, anthemic choruses and melodic and grungy build ups, these are definitely ones to watch on the Manchester scene. 😎

one of our favourites off the new EP is “I’ve Never Been To Gorton” – a proper tongue-in-cheek tune about the different areas of Manchester, with lovely guitar melodies throughout and huge choruses 🤘 lead singer Ben’s vocal sounds great on this too, showing his prowess as a vocalist – well worth a listen 🤠

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Scatterchild “Tough Love”! 🙌

we’ve been a fan of Scatterchild for a while now, with their beautiful piano melodies, lovely soundscapes, Jay’s fantastic vocal ability and top songwriting 😊 this new song is yet another in a long line of great releases!

a more touching subject with this song, it deals with the harder parts of a relationship and the emotion conveyed in this track is sublime ✊ building from the start, it really pushes through the feelings that they’re trying to portray and as it travels through the track, it builds up and up til the end where it explodes into a massive outburst of energy and raw feeling! what a tune! ❤️

well worth a listen, absolutely fantastic from the Manchester band. head over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/29A7KCgDgjYYadLf0UPXIi to check it out alongside their other releases, or head to YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO-mQd3er_4 to catch the fantastic music video they’ve done! 🌠

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Bonfire Tide – “Romance Isn’t Dead” 🤘

the debut single from the Manchester-based outfit, this is a real indication of what’s to come from them! a beautifully put-together track, reminiscent of early 2000’s indie/folk nostalgia, Bonfire Tide have created a lovely soundscape for this track with waving guitars, almost angelic vocals and a driving rhythm. definitely one to check out! 🤠

Categories artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment on Just The Crust 27/09/21: Katie O’Malley – Devil’s Got A Hold ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Katie O’Malley “Devil’s Got A Hold” 🤘

we’ve known Katie for a long time now and with every release she only gets better and better! we loved the last few singles especially “Wild West” and “Taste The Dirt” and we’re absolutely blown away by how good this new tune is! ☀️

blending grungy, bluesy rock with her familiar country-esque singer-songwriter vibe, Katie and her band create a lovely gloomy atmosphere akin to PJ Harvey and Stevie Nicks 😊 the guitar work in this is absolutely gorgeous and Katie’s vocal sounds absolutely out of this world. 🌠 the eruption into the chorus is massive – organs throughout are just lush, and it all fits perfectly together to give you a full on 70’s witchy nostalgia whilst maintaining that gorgeous sound that we’ve heard with all of Katie’s songs lately! 🤘

one of our favourite tunes lately, for sure! absolutely beautiful song. head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6okmBH0CynrW1oDQCaGjSQ to find the single in full (alongside her other releases)! ✨
