Just The Crust 31/03/25: Nat Dempsey – Not Quite There Yet πŸ‘Š

today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new single “Not Quite There Yet” from Nat Dempsey! 🎢

we’re huge fans of Nat, with his effortless, down-to-earth and relatable songwriting talent, and his ability to create a standout melody that will stick in your head – his last single “Everyday People” was an incredible show of his ability, and he’s just dropped his second single πŸ™Œ

this new single takes a bit more of a mellow and atmospheric approach, compared to his last single, with the same jangley indie-pop sound building through the verses, with a lovely chorus-ey guitar tone, playing a lovely laid-back and flowing melody, and his vocal taking command and ensuring the listener’s attention on his storytelling, with carefully-crafted, personal and picturesque lyrics, and a lovely foundation of a driving bass and tight drums that really glue the track together. it’s a fantastic listen, and a brilliant indication of his talent πŸŒ™

the track is available to stream on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/5SOJBcGdDp6a6Fy74xOUvN – well worth checking out! πŸŒ†

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Falling” from The Late Freddie Price! β˜€οΈ

we’ve covered Freddie’s music a bunch lately, and he’s been making his mark on the Manchester scene, performing across the city and getting his music out there – and with his descriptive, down-to-earth and relatable lyrics, his blend of folk, rock and blues, he’s ensuring his position as one to watch πŸ‘Š

this new single “Falling” sounds mega, a more upbeat 60’s rock influence to the track, and it’s got a superb rhythm to it right from the get-go, and with a jangly guitar pattern, lovely vocal harmonies and his simple yet effective lyricism, you can hear the feel-good elements to the track immediately. his vocal takes centre-stage and ensures the listener’s attention, and it’s got a lovely bassline that compliments the drumwork, creating a great space for the foundation of the track. it’s a proper great listen, and well worth checking out! 🀝

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Forever” by HealeyBadger! πŸ™Œ

we’ve had HealeyBadger perform for us a good few times now at our open mics, and we’re always blown away by their professional performances, their quality songwriting talent and excellent musicianship – it’s not hard to see why they’ve been going down a storm across the North West and beyond at their gigs 🎢

this new single sounds incredible, with a real jazzy element right from the get-go, a lovely feel good atmosphere with the rhythm sections in perfect sync, creating a fantastic soundscape, and a brilliant backdrop for the lead vocal to take charge – Di’s vocals sound amazing here, and her delivery is top-notch; really outpouring the emotion and feelings to make this track one to remember. the backing of the bass and drums give the track a real sense of groove, accentuating the silky pianowork – it’s a super lovely listen 🎧

Just The Crust 10/03/25: Kyle Toolan – Such A Long Time β˜€οΈ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Such A Long Time” from Kyle Toolan! 🎢

we’ve known Kyle for a good while now, having had him perform at our open mics, gigs and the such over the last few years, and we’re massive fans of his music – intricately-written tracks, with a real passion put into each of them, and his drive and motivation to create is always inspiring πŸ™Œ

this new single sounds fantastic, with having listened to his previous tracks a bunch we knew we were in for something special but it sounds even better than we expected! his lyricism here is on-point, raw and personal emotion poured into every line, guitar melodies that compliment his vocal lines expertly, and a full band backing sound to give it a real sense of groove – it’s a superb listen! it gives us vibes of 90’s alternative rock bands, yet mixed in with a 70’s mellow songwriter style; giving that nostalgic feel yet still modern and unique to himself. πŸ‘Š

you can find it on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/1yTpB3BdPV0jxBlvFLktTB?si=b316bd51bafe4ae4 – give it a spin! 😊
