Just The Crust 20/11/23: VALA – Fishes 🙌

20th Nov 202320th Nov 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

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

we’ve been huge fans of VALA for a while now, having reviewed their past few singles which sound mega, a real lovely atmosphere to them and such a feel-good sound. we caught them at The Deaf Institute on Friday and they were class – well worth heading to one of their live shows!

this new single only extends to their already-fantastic discography, with a gorgeous guitar melody laying the foundation of the song, a tight rhythm holding it together and the main vocal utilising the space of the track superbly, especially with the use of the autotune to bring a more synthetic sound to the song – it’s still got the upbeat elements of their previous releases but brings all of their different influences to it, which is brilliant to see.

you can find the track on all streaming platforms including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs – well worth a listen!

Just The Crust 13/11/23: William Cawley – Domestic Bliss ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from William Cawley “Domestic Bliss“!

over the past few months, William’s been leading up to this with a bunch of singles from the EP, including “Sunday Boyfriend” – a jangly-pop style track with influences from surf-rock, indie-pop and early 2000’s alternative; each of the tracks on the EP pertain to this sound, short and sweet tracks that are lyrically proficient, with tight rhythm sections and an occasional strong guitar solo that throws in more punkier influence and grungey elements to the songs.

there’s a lot of influence in these tracks, from early Green Day to The Libertines, lots of punk and brit-pop; however William manages to utilise all of these inspirations into a sound that he can call his own, culminating in the creation of an EP that is not only upbeat and energetic, but relays his emotions and feelings effectively through his lyrics.

you can find the EP in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/3RB85jhr0fr1yqPVA9U7ta – give it a listen and see what you think!

Just The Crust 06/11/23: Tragicomics – Dinosaur 🤘

6th Nov 20236th Nov 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for this week’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Tragicomics “Dinosaur“!

we’ve covered Tragicomics’ previous releases a bunch before, with a fantastic string of singles over the past few years they’ve been establishing themselves as a serious alternative country outfit on the North West scene – performing across Manchester and beyond showing their musical prowess on the stage.

this new single comes in at just over six minutes, and it’s a gorgeous tune, encompassing a range of varying emotions, atmospheres and feelings – a real rollercoaster throughout, the track builds and builds, from a mellow and intricate dark-folk ballad, laced with gorgeous violin melodies and lush guitar riffs – the flow of the track is consistent, balanced through the whole run of the track without feeling too forced or prompt. the changeup to the heavier, more alternative and psychedelic section of the tune is lovely, and gives a real force behind it, becoming energetic and conveying the meaning of the tune in a real ferocious manner. fantastic stuff!

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6qSVDNdpy6YW9kbm3gdf5C – well worth checking out

30th Oct 202330th Oct 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Sixth Day “Say Hello“!

having only released their debut single “Kick Me Out” earlier this year, they’ve been garnering praise from across the North West, and sold out their debut headline at Gullivers over the summer, establishing themselves as serious ones-to-watch here in Manchester.

this new single only expands on their debut single’s infectious upbeat indie-rock musings, with singalong choruses, an unmistakably Northern tone and a ferocious energy behind their music. “Say Hello” sets them apart from the sea of new indie tunes, with effortless, conversational songwriting and lyricism, guitar melodies that lace the track beautifully, all parts coming together to create a proper lush tune that’s not only personal, but still upbeat and energetic.

you can find their music on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/3ea0rJJJlaTTjJjyhjUwkb – it’s well worth checking out and adding to your playlists

Just The Crust 23/10/23: Zara Smile – Human ✨

23rd Oct 202323rd Oct 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Zara Smile, “Human”

based in Liverpool, Zara has been performing regularly across the city and out into the North West, having released their debut EP earlier this year, which garnered praise from a bunch of online publications, with the delicate and intricate sound proving their musical capability and ability to write songs that relay pure emotion.

this new single “Human” sounds incredible, with honest and raw lyricism about their experience with disassociation – with sounds akin to the likes of Laura Marling, Joni Mitchell and First Aid Kit. the melodies within the track are gorgeous, working perfectly in unison to create a lovely space for Zara’s vocal to excel in – and the vocal harmonies in the chorus are lush, adding to the flow of track. it’s a gorgeous raw and intimate track

you can find the track on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0zzqgVJD0zGnaoNBtslwQb – it’s well worth a listen! we can’t wait to hear more.

Just The Crust 16/10/23: James Wolf – Stargazing 🔭

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from James Wolf “Stargazing“!

we’ve known James for a good while now, with him performing for us regularly at our events and having had him play with his band at our last Cream of the Crop; his midwest-emo / 2000’s alternative-influenced sound is lovely and sets him apart as a songwriter.

this new single shows his lyrical prowess, but opens up his production technique and ability, taking a more electronic approach to his music – with dreamy synth lines, trap-inspired drum patterns and mellow and deep bass licks. the sonic atmosphere of this track is superb, creating a real elevated feel, and flowing incredibly throughout the chorus, a gorgeous contrast to the verses.

you can find the track in full on streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/16wFzGu9p3cQn0aohmqEHC – well worth a listen
