we had a sell-out room, and with special guests Tallulah Guard and BETS, it was one to remember a big shout to everyone who came down and thank you to everyone involved for helping create such a wonderful evening!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Debt Collectors” from Stephen McCafferty ๐
the Edinburgh-based songwriter has been making waves for a few years now, with a strong string of releases already under his belt, and having performed a bunch across Scotland and support from various radio stations and publications, he’s returned with his first release of the year! ๐ถ
this new single sounds fantastic, with intricate and well-thought-out lyricism, touching on topics of class, anxiety and the demand of modern life, all set to a driving beat. there’s a huge anthemic chorus, a proper singalong track, and with quality musical expertise supporting the excellent lyrics, it’s a proper belter that not only has the musical quality and production behind it, but also adept songwriting and prose. ๐
plus, we’re at HOME Mcr Arches tonight with a special show celebrating – it’s going to be a super evening with a performance and exhibition from Scatterchild alongside BETS and Tallulah Guard
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Better In Fiction” from Harrison Rimmer!
we’ve known Harrison for a long long time now, having hosted him at gig across Manchester, caught his debut album launch in York back in 2022 and covered his music a bunch
this new single is yet another fantastic tune under his belt, with his signature storytelling lyricism immediately on display, his ability to paint a picture with his words is second to none. there’s a gorgeous atmosphere in the track, with soaring guitars and instrumentation that elevate the song expertly, and as the build of the track continues, it flows almost effortlessly into each section, and the choruses are the trademark singalong that we’ve seen with his music in the past it’s yet another incredible single from the North-West singer-songwriter!
there’s only a week to go til we’re down at HOME Mcr with Scatterchild, with a special exhibition show celebrating the release of the new single “New Ocean”
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Motorman” from punk heavyweights Getner ๐
we’ve caught Getner live a bunch of times, and we’re always so blown away by their stage presence, they’ve got huge anthemic tunes and their ability to hold an audience in the palm of their hand is second to none ๐ถ
this single is real proof of their talent, and it captures their live energy superbly, with a proper driving riff forming the base of the track, backed by huge rhythm that builds the foundation, giving plenty of space for vocalist Quentin to command the direction of the tune with his powerful vocal. the track addresses a lost British squaddie on the streets of Ireland during The Troubles, and whilst the track is lyrically superbly written, it also aims to educate listeners on a history that most may not know about. a proper quality tune ๐ฅ
