our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Bronam, “I.J.W.B.W.Y.F.T.R.O.M.L“!
we’ve known Bronam for a good while now, having performed at our open mics and gracing the stage with his pop-punk indie songwriting, always with an energetic performance! a pleasure to watch live 
this new single is his debut, and it’s a fantastic show of his ability – with loud guitar riffs, lovely percussion and a gorgeous flow throughout, it provides an incredible fast-paced backdrop for him to sing over. utilising his vocal strength throughout, he’s been able to create an upbeat banger with lovely lyrical content, proving his songwriting ability throughout!
you can find the full track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4iNoSoxi6spXKcZkL6jVvp – well worth checking out!
