our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Pulse” from Tallulah Guard!
we’ve covered Tallulah’s music a bunch in the past, and had them perform for us a few times over the last year or so and we love their energetic and powerful songwriting style, expertly putting words into their music and relaying a variety of emotions and feeling throughout we loved the previous single “Burn“, a driving alternative rock banger reminiscent of early 90’s rock!
this new single takes a more laidback, calmer atmosphere, opening with a lovely guitar fingerstyle melody that sets the tone for the track right from the get-go. as Tallulah’s vocal comes in, you’re invited into the story they’re telling, a delicate anecdote that is softly but expertly delivered throughout, discussing their experiences with disassociation, in a poetic and intricate manner. as the track gets more intense, with a driving rhythm coming in, vocal harmonies building behind the main vocal, synth parts layering the sonic space of the track, it’s a gorgeous track that easily puts Tallulah as one to watch here in the North West. 
you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/6qmvYktetyEdI7kU7qfPVm – go and have a listen for yourselves and add it to your playlists!

one of our favourites from the album, this track takes a real lighter tone in contrast to previous Anyone’s Ghost releases, with a cleaner and softer touch to the atmosphere of the track, with Wanda’s visual lyricism shining through here, putting across the tone of the song in expert fashion – produced by our very own michael webster, featuring pianowork and backing vocals from Scatterchild and co-produced by Max Macmillan.

after a long time, we’re back with our next Knead To Know interview, this time with the incredible Craig Lee and The Humblebees! 🥪
we’ve heard a bunch of great releases from Craig, and his music has been doing super well over the past few years, with his 60’s rock and roll-inspired sound mixed with indie rock and singer-songwriter influence, proving him as a real unique artist here in the North West. it’s real lovely to chat with him here, finding out more about his music and his creativity, you can find the full interview below! ⬇️
Hey mate, it’s great to have you here for our Knead To Know interview. What got you into doing music?
Some lads in my year did a few songs for a school talent show as a band and I thought I can do that. It was around the time of Arctic Monkeys first album, so they were a big influence too as I was about 14.
What inspires your sound? Who are some of your favourite artists?
I am massively influenced by the sound of retro rock’n’roll (Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, The Beatles) but also amazing poetic lyricists such as Bob Dylan, Frank Turner and Justin Young (The Vaccines). I try my best to mix the two…
Your new single “By Your Side” is out now – tell us a bit about it!
By Your Side is basically a song that says life is fine being on my own but it’s even better when I am with you. Soppy, I know.
How have you found the release so far? What are the highlights for you, with it?
It’s always great to hear from people on social media. I have had a few people message me to praise the song and to hear that from people I don’t know and have no reason to say it (other than that they love the tune) is a great feeling. One person even said it was one of their favourite songs period, which was madness.
What are your main inspirations for writing?
Seeing people dancing, hearing them sing the words back. It’s great when I hear a person’s favourite song of mine, as it’s always a different one and I am inspired by having more to add to that list.
What’s your process for creating music?
It varies. Sometimes I will hear somebody say a phrase and I will just laugh and make a mental note then go home and write a chorus using it. Other times I will challenge myself to write a certain bassline, or to write a song to incorporate a key change or simply strum and hum until something catchy comes along (wow that sounded ruder than I meant it).
Have you been gigging over the past few months? How is it?
In all honesty (when it comes to originals) not as much as I had hoped. Any bands looking for a support or wanting to put a show on, give me a shout.
Do you record in a studio or do you have a personal home studio?
I record at Vibe Studios in Cheetham Hill with producer (and quiet magician) Dean Glover. He filters my mad ideas and up to now, he has always got it right when bringing the songs to what I have in my head.
Have you got anything coming up in 2023 we should know about?
I am supporting The Dunwells in July and also Chris Helm (The Seahorses) in October. Both are in Oldham and are very exciting opportunities.
we always love writing these up, and finding out more about each artist’s inspirations, their creative processes and the journey that they’ve been on, it’s unique to every act! if you’ve not heard it yet, it’s well worth checking out his new single, another class tune under his belt. a big thank you to Craig for letting us interview him – and thank you all for checking it out! 🍞
the debut full-length album “Necromancer” by Anyone’s Ghost is available to pre-order now out July 20th!
featuring contributions from michael webster, Max Macmillan, Scatterchild and Isabel Williamson, it’s the longest release we’ve ever put out, coming in at around 58 minutes – produced over the past year and a half by our very own michael webster. a testament to Wanda’s incredible songwriting ability, with fourteen tracks that only expand on the prowess and talent shown in the 2021 release “A Good Winter In June“.
