Just The Crust 03/06/24: Luna Marble – Sea Of Sorrow πŸ’₯

our feature for this week’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Sea of Sorrow” from the ever-incredible Luna Marble πŸ‘Š

we’ve had them perform for us a bunch now, and they always astound us with their high-energy performances, quality musicianship, amazing band chemistry and insane stage presence – they know exactly how to entertain a crowd πŸ™Œ

we loved their previous releases, and this new tune only exceeds our expectations; a more atmospheric intro compared to their previous tracks, but with a gorgeous groove setting the scene, with Maria’s vocals gracefully taking control of the soundscape – and the drop into the guitar riff is absolutely lush.. a fantastic riff that commands your attention immediately. the balance of the vocal and the guitar is so lovely, complimenting each other perfectly throughout – and set to a really tight rhythm section that just completes the sound perfectly. πŸ’₯ another incredible tune under their belt!

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/71q2rLsq24j3E2nPhk5bRu – well worth a listen 🎧

Just The Crust 13/05/24: William Cawley – Regine/Or? πŸ‘Š

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from William Cawley, “Regine/Or?” β˜€οΈ

we covered his previous release towards the end of last year, and his upbeat indie-rock styling is great, reminiscent of surf rock and 60’s sounds; chock full of jangly guitars, vocal harmonies and singalong vibes. πŸ‘Š

this new single is more of a downbeat, moody and atmospheric vibe – especially with the guitar tone, a more post-punk 80’s feel, yet still with the energetic drumbeat that we became accustomed to in his previous work. it’s a more direct track lyrically, a more ambient feel yet still full on and loud πŸ™Œ the breakdown at the end is like a lovely contrast to the rest of the track, and it jumps straight back into a final run of the chorus expertly.

you can find the track on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1KGAiXeLAgZmrIzpxBDqga – well worth a listen! 🎧

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from VALAFishing God“! πŸ‘Š

we’ve covered VALA a bunch over the past year or so and we’re always blown away by the quality of their tunes, so many belters and they’ve got a super unique sound; and when we caught them live at The Deaf Institute they were incredible, a brilliant night. 😊

this new EP only continues this trend, with a couple of tracks that we’re already huge fans of, and a few new ones thrown in there too! their lo-fi indie pop sound is on full force here, with lush guitar tones throughout and feelgood upbeat vibes – set to a lovely laidback atmosphere. the opener “Change Your Mind” is one of the new ones, and it sounds incredible, a real show of their unique style. amazing! well worth checking out, a bunch of great tunes! 🎢

you can find the EP on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs – definitely worth listening, a load of great tracks in their back catalogue too! 🀝

Just The Crust 29/04/24: Keddy Sowels – Reflection πŸŽΆ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Keddy SowelsReflection“!

a regular face here in Manchester, he’s been performing across the city at gigs and open mics and already has some lovely tunes out – well worth checking them out; and his brand new single here marks a different direction for the indie-rock artist. 🎸

“Reflection” is more of an electronic track, moving away from the guitar-based indie anthemic tone of his previous tracks, with synths and electronic drums making their way to the forefront of the tune – and with less singing, more rapping – it shows a different side to his music. 🎢 still maintaining the political and social commentary of his earlier tracks, it’s a stark look at the state of current society.

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/7erGB63SVoZJpFC7ABPHjf – check it out! πŸ’₯

we love Ethan’s music, always a pleasure to listen to it and we’ve had them perform for us a bunch – with spellbinding performances and such intrinsically crafted sets, they’re well worth catching live! πŸ‘Š

this new EP is a fantastic show of their talent, with magical scenes and soundscapes throughout the full release, it’s a joy to listen to; so serene and peaceful, with gorgeous melodies leading the way on each of the tracks, and luscious atmospheres behind them – each element perfectly placed to balance to one another, proving Black Brunswicker’s ear for not only an effective melody, but also the knowledge of how to utilise what is next, and create a gorgeous backdrop for their music. an incredible release – one of our favourites is “Olde Magicks” – giving us rainy forest walking vibes! πŸŒ™
