our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Sixth Day “Down and Out“! 💥

after two fantastic singles last year, and having played a bunch of sold-out shows across the North West, they’ve been making their mark as ones to watch on the scene – this new single is true evidence of their talent and potential. 👊

it’s opens with a raucous guitar line, that is only emboldened by Alex’s powerful vocal commanding the listener’s attention – followed by a driving rhythm that gives the track a real ferocious energy. the chorus is explosive, opening up the feel of the tune superbly, a real singalong tune, reminiscent of 2000’s alternative, yet executed in a unique manner! it’s a proper banger, well worth a listen! 🎧

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/3ea0rJJJlaTTjJjyhjUwkb – well worth a listen to all their tunes! 🤝

The Wrap: July 2024 ✨

16th Aug 202416th Aug 2024artist, bread, local scene, new music, review, The Wrap1 Comment

we’re back with our newest edition of our The Wrap feature, with reviews of some of our favourite releases from last month, July 2024 🌮 it’s been yet another incredible month of music, with so many fantastic tunes being released, and we’ve covered just a few of them here! you can find all of our reviews below! ⬇️

The fantastic Jack Weston has just released his second single “Dawn Chorus“! The Sheffield singer-songwriter amazed us with his first release, and this new single only goes further – an honest, down-to-earth song that feels like a conversation between him and the listener. The simple nature of vocal and guitar lend to the strength of the track, the expert lyricism that is present in every line, and slight additions of vocals and instrumentation that only accentuate the quality of the song. It’s well worth a listen for any folk fans!

Manchester’s Woioi have just dropped their debut EP “gumreader“! Taking influence from psychedelic, alternative, indie and rock genres, their tracks boast fantastic grooves, lovely guitar riffs and melodies, and a rhythm section that sets the foundation for each tune beautifully. Expect luscious chord progressions, feel-good atmospheres and upbeat vibes – it’s a lovely listen and sure to get anyone dancing about!

Yorkshire-based Fever Dreams have just put out their debut single, “So Naive“! Formed less than a year ago, they’ve made an immediate impact on the music scene, playing gigs, their new single garnering radio play and playlisting from a variety of publications, and this track is evident of their success – it’s a gorgeous indie anthem, with synth-pop tendencies, dream-pop flavours, and a smattering of various influences in there to really create something they can call their own. We can’t wait to hear even more from these guys!

We’ve been fans of The Sewer Cats for a good while now, having known them for a fair few years, and we love their no-nonsense punk tunes – this new single “Boo Hoo!” is yet another in a long line of great tracks from the two-piece. With huge rhythm driving the track, expertly accompanied by face-melting guitar riffs and progressions, it gives a punchy and massive backdrop for Cass to command the listeners’ attention with her vocal, her lyricism as ever on point, direct and empowering.

We absolutely love Black Brunswicker’s tunes, having listened and covered so many of their releases in the past, their gorgeous soundscapes and ambient tones carving luscious atmospheres that you can really lose yourself in. This new single “The Cave” is another fantastic dreamy tune, Ethan’s ability to utilise so many elements and create a gorgeous journey is second to none. The flow of the track is perfect here, so well balanced to itself, feeling like the trickle of a stream down a mountainside – everything perfectly in sync with itself. We love it!

We’ve been huge fans of Hannah Robinson for a good while now, and we love her shoegazy dream-pop tunes – her new single “Blissfully Miles Away” is yet another incredible track under her belt. This single is a real gem, it’s atmospheric, got a lovely guitar melody behind it, a huge chorus that opens up the sound of the track, and a proper singalong. The soundscape is the track, with a driving rhythm section that provides plenty of space for her to sing over, her vocal ability on full show here, and a gorgeous guitar solo to match. We love to see it!

Manchester-based outfit Alor have just dropped their second single, “Older“! We were massive fans of their debut and this track only goes further in proving them as ones to watch on the North West scene. You can hear a bunch of influences in this track, and they’ve carefully crafted a sound that really shows their talent – the delicate vibe of this tune is gorgeous, showing their musicianship of each member and really amplifying the quality and ability of lead singer Ollie’s vocal talent. The track is so well put together, with so many different elements surfacing throughout to really create an incredible piece of work. Well worth a listen!

Another familiar face for us, Sugarstone have just dropped their brand new tune “Body Pending“! We’re absolutely massive fans of these guys, and this tune goes even further than they have before, with so many luscious synth elements mixed with their familiar distorted and heavy vibes – it’s an incredibly dynamic track, so well constructed and a proper singalong and anthemic tune. Their brand of cyberpunk electro-pop is infectious, and we are stoked to hear even more from them!

it’s been yet another incredible month of music, with so many fantastic releases, and there’s a whole plethora of talent out there that we didn’t get to cover! thanks to everyone who has checked this out, and we hope you enjoyed it! 🤘

make sure you head on down to open mics, gigs, support local music and arts and keep your scenes going! 😊 all music, videos and images remain copyright of their respective owners. 🍞

we’ve covered Lynskey a bunch in the past, they released their last EP early last year and we loved it, a fantastic amalgamation of different influences, various genres thrown in their to truly create a sound that is unique to them – high energy, intricate melodies throughout; fantastic to listen to

this new tune is an ode to Keanu Reeves, opening right up from the get-go with a bang – a grooving drumbeat sets the pace while explosive guitar power chords form the basis of the track, with plenty of space for B’s vocal to take centre-stage, their vocal commanding the listener’s attention. there’s a whole bunch of lovely little riffs throughout, little breakdowns and synth lines that only accentuate the craft within the tune – it’s sure to get anyone dancing along!
