our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Lynskey “Keanu“!
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! 
you can find the track on all streaming services, and there’s a music video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/Y_l2j7ctK6c – they’re also doing a gig at Kazimier Stockroom In Liverpool on the 2nd September – you can get tickets at https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Liverpool/Kazimier-Stockroom/Lynskey-host-Keanu-Reeves-Birthday-Party-at-Kazimier-Stockroom/39174358/

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Leeds-based Lunar Sounds “Better Than This“! 👊
after performing at various venues across the UK over the past few years, and releasing a run of singles and EPs since 2016, they’re back with a brand new track that packs a punch right from the get-go! 💫
you can really hear the grunge, the riot-grrrl influence throughout this track – with luscious power chords, basslines and hard-hitting drums laying the foundation for the track, a main guitar riff that echoes throughout, adding tension and drive to the tune, and group vocals, harmonies that give a real energy to it all. it sounds fantastic, and with personal, impactful lyricism, it’s set them up as ones to watch for the year 🌜

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Harrison Rimmer “Tough Love“! 🤝
we’ve known Harrison for a long long time now and we love all of his tunes, his album “Larkholme” last year was sensational and it’s so great to hear a new tune from him! also – he’s one of our favourite live musicians, if you get the chance to see him don’t miss out 👊
this new single sounds fantastic, taking a more alternative-rock style compared to his previous tunes, with a grungey guitar lacing the atmosphere of the track – and a hard hitting drumbeat and bassline laying the foundation beautifully, for Harrison to take centre-stage with a personal and passionate story. it’s a lovely track, with a real emotion and feeling poured into it, exactly what we’ve come to expect with Harrison’s music 🌙
you can find the track on all streaming services, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZOqA4UuDGNdYM4OqXxqA9 – well worth checking out! 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Midlands-based emo outfit Vienna, “Ratatouille! I hardly know her…” out this Friday! 💥
their third single, it follows the success of their first two, which established them as ones to watch on the Midlands scene, and having garnered a bunch of attention with these releases, alongside a load of live performances, they’re back with a belter 👊
this new single sounds fantastic, expanding excellently on the mid-west stylings of their earlier work, with a more direct and polished shine to the sound of the track – the guitarwork in the introduction is luscious, with some gorgeous melodies in there, and it expands out into the main riff of the track with a ferocious energy; it really proves the energy and passion put into this track. 🌙 the guitar tones sound mega throughout, and the rhythm section perfectly compliment them, giving the main vocal ample room to command the listener’s attention with a direct and powerful force, ensuring the audience hang onto every word of theirs, with great lyrical storytelling, you can tell that there’s real passion put into every sentence – an incredible listen! 🎧
you can pre-save this track over at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/vienna9/ratatouille-i-hardly-know-her – out this Friday! in the meantime you can find their previous releases on their Spotify, and their YouTube is at https://www.youtube.com/@BandVienna 🤝

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Mad By Mourning “Black Car“! 👊
we covered their previous single last year, “Creature Of Habit“, and we were astounded by their gothic, industrial sound – yet infusing a range of various influences, to truly create something that they can call their own – you can hear punk, metal, emo and chock-full of lyrical ingenuity, catchy hooks; it truly set them as ones to watch! 😊
this new single begins in a more moody, darker vein compared to the previous, with a riff heavy, distorted atmosphere in the opening stage – it gives a load of room for the main vocal to take command in the first verse, demanding the listener’s attention – utilising the soundscape effectively, and with a fantastic, catchy and lyrically adept chorus – they’ve only gone beyond our expectations for this one. the grunginess and heaviness of the track is perfectly balanced with the more atmospheric elements of it, a lovely use of dynamic and contrast – fantastic to see, well worth a listen!! 🎧 (also with a luscious guitar solo too!)
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a visualiser available to watch on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYhj11V7-g0 – check it out! 🌙

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from the incredible Arms & Hearts “Binaries“! 🎶
we’ve had Steve perform for us a bunch of times now, recently at Low Four Studio in April and they always blow us away with their high-energy passion-fuelled sets, their raw and intricate songwriting and stage presence – it’s always worth catching them live! 👊
this new track is a proper indication of their talent, an upbeat heavy tune, lots of folk-punk atmosphere to it – and a moody, dark guitar riff, yet Steve’s vocal commands attention, with raw and emotive lyricism, baring all upon the page; and delivered in their signature no-holds-barred fashion, giving it their all throughout the track. an incredible track, well worth a listen! 🎧
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a music video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/DiGVwSp7N2Q – go and check it out! 🤝
