Just The Crust 07/02/22: Novustory – Love Me Too โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from the fantastic Novustory “Love Me Too”! ๐Ÿค˜

Novustory have been tearing it up over the past few years in the North West, putting out a continuous stream of incredible singles, performing at huge events and even keeping at it throughout the lockdowns with livestreams, videos and even more! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

their connection to their fanbase is one we absolutely adore, they’re always keeping their audience involved with their music and merch, showing a real love of the support that people give them. ๐Ÿฅฐ well deserved too as they are all super talented and some of the hardest working people we know!!

this new single “Love Me Too” is yet another banger to their name, a hard-hitting tune discussing the toxicity of the music industry and the “need” to make it in today’s music business. ๐ŸŽธ a real top alternative rock tune, with elements of metal, pop and everything in between, they’ve outdone themselves with this release!

Imogen’s vocals transcend above the track, bringing the listener into Novustory’s world, really making a connection and then exploding into a huge wall of sound in the chorus – brilliant stuff! lovely guitar arpeggios carry the track, along with a rhythm section that expertly drives the track forward and forward, and the breakdown before the final chorus really sets a scene of calm before the storm of that huge, massive last chorus. amazing stuff from these guys. ๐Ÿค˜

the track will be released this Friday 11th of February and we’re super stoked to be able to have had a sneak listen to it. ๐Ÿฅฐ you can pre-save it over at https://smarturl.it/novustory_lovemetoo – well worth checking out all of their tunes on their YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/NovustoryOfficial or on streaming sites! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Just The Crust 31/01/22: Harrison Rimmer – The End ๐Ÿค˜

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Harrison Rimmer “The End”! ๐ŸŽธ

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! ๐Ÿ˜Š 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 ๐Ÿค˜ 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! ๐Ÿต 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 ๐Ÿ˜Ž such a great talent on the North West scene!!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Clichรฉ Cult “Say It Like You Mean It”, out this coming Friday 28th January โ˜€๏ธ

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! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

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 ๐Ÿค˜

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! ๐ŸŽธ 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-2๐Ÿ“ผ released on Shoplifters Union!

Just The Crust 17/01/22: HWY – Come Up ๐Ÿ™Œ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the debut single from Manchester-based alternative rockers HWY “Come Up”! ๐Ÿค˜

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! โ˜€๏ธ

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. ๐Ÿ˜Ž 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! ๐Ÿช

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! ๐Ÿต

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. ๐Ÿ˜Š

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 ๐Ÿฅฐ 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.

Just The Crust 03/01/22: Rob Crampton – Rich Man’s Clothes โ˜€๏ธ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Rob Crampton Music “Rich Man’s Clothes”! ๐Ÿค˜

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. ๐Ÿ˜Š recorded over at the amazing Sloe Flower Studio who are absolute magic โœจ

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. โ„๏ธ

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. ๐Ÿ˜Ž 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. ๐Ÿค

Just The Crust 20/12/21: Superfriends – How To Live Life โ˜€๏ธ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Superfriends “How To Live Life”! ๐Ÿค˜

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! ๐Ÿ˜Ž 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! ๐ŸŒน great stuff and we can see them going far ๐Ÿ™Œh
