Categories artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment on Just The Crust 16/08/21: YNES – God’s Little Punching Bag 🌮

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from the amazing YNES “God’s Little Punching Bag”! 🤘

returning with yet another lovely tune, YNES has been making waves across the Midlands with brit-pop fused indie rock tunes and this song is one of our favourites yet!! 😊

with upbeat guitarwork, self-conscious lyricism and witty humour throughout, this song is an anthem of a doomed youth – a proper tune that will stick in your head for ages. definitely one to watch, we wouldn’t be surprised if YNES was headlining stages across the UK at all! ☀️ another fantastic release from Grrrlgroannn!

we absolutely love the video as well, you can find the full thing over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/IZiasToExII – or jump onto Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/2ukJzJDevcB7E15Faimcrd to find their full discography! 💿
