Just The Crust 17/07/23: Smoking Gives You Big Tits – Porky Pies ⚡️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Porky Pies” by Smoking Gives You Big Tits from their upcoming album “Guts For Starters“! ☀️

we’ve been big fans of these guys for ages, having discovered them at gigs here in Manchester over the past few years and we’re huge fans of their massive energy, and unapologetic lyrics – they’ve got a tremendous sound behind them now, giving their songs a truly ferocious rage and splendour about them! 💥

this new single truly encapsulates their sound, opening up with a vast chaotic soundscape of distortion, taking the track by the reins and setting the scene for the song. it falls down into a jarring but infectious groove, the instrumentation working in perfect tandem to pave the way for Helen’s vocals to shine – she immediately captures your attention with her airy tone that glides across the track – and as the chorus comes in, the song comes together beautifully, picking up the pace rapidly, creating a real powerful and ferocious hook that is sure to get any listener grooving along. 👊 it’s a fantastic track and it sets the scene for the album beautifully, we can’t wait to hear more when it comes out on the 28th July!

in the meantime you can find this single on all streaming platforms, and the full music video is available to watch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzd74mK_RM – well worth a watch! 🤘

Just The Crust 10/07/23: Tallulah Guard – Pulse 💫

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! 😊

Just The Crust 03/07/23: Shadows Of A Silhouette – My Hunny ⚡️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Shadows Of A Silhouette “My Hunny“! 👊

we’re huge fans of these guys, having covered their music a bunch in the past and even having them perform for us last year as part of our gigs down at the Grafton Arms ☀️

this new tune is a feel-good anthem, still in the indie dimension of their previous tunes but you can really hear the more mellow elements shine through. with exquisite and intense lyricism, you can really hear the passion put into their music – the instrumentation behind it ties it all together so well, with the drums providing a gorgeous rhythm to the track, the loose guitar pattern and driving bassline creating a real groove and the lead guitar giving a lovely final touch to the track. another banger under the belt for these guys! 💥

you can find it on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6EuOHKKHN8mLHVwlKli6zE – well worth checking out! make sure you get the chance to see these guys live, incredible stage presence!

Just The Crust 26/06/23: HWY – Exit Love 🤘

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Exit Love” from HWY! ⚡️

we were massive fans of their first two singles, which really set them as ones to watch on the North West scene – we’ve also had them perform for us at our Toasted gigs and for Halloweezer and their live sets are extraordinary, with an incredible stage presence and a real ability to move a crowd 👊

this new single sees them expand on their grungey sound, with gorgeous guitar melodies throughout which create a lovely soundscape and atmosphere for the track – the calm groove is a beautiful backdrop for the vocals to soar over, and Ryan’s vocal sounds spectacular here; maintaining control over the track and as it opens up to the chorus, his power and rage is only complimented by the instrumentation, a ferocious outburst of energy that we’ve come to see with all of HWY’s releases. the dynamic of this track is lush, there’s so much energy and restraint all at once – the breakdown is a serene breath of fresh air from the chaos and power of the rest of the track, and the guitar riffs are second to none. yet another incredible release from these guys! 💥

you can find the tune on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/62rxtnfmc2zRNab1juIuFD – it’s well worth a listen, there’s a real special future in store for these guys. 🙌

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new EP “I Love The Sound” from Manchester-based indie-pop outfit VALA🤘

we’ve covered VALA a bunch in the past, and we love their dreamy, lofi-inspired indie tunes – their latest single back in December 2022 “Don’t Think Twice (It’s Not Alright)” was lovely! 😊

they’ve returned with a full length release here, and it only proves their quality with an array of lovely tunes in addition to their previous singles, showing off their talent and ability to write luscious soundscapes, with careful and personal lyricism, whilst still maintaining the energy of the indie genre. ☀️ these new tunes are laden with gorgeous synths and bring a more psychedelic element to their music, quality stuff!

Just The Crust 12/06/23: Faint Line – Red Tide ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Faint lineRed Tide“! 👊

the Yorkshire-based duo have been making their mark on the national scene with a flurry of singles over the past year, and they’ve had significant radio play and racked up thousands of plays already, showing that they’re truly ones to watch on the alt-pop scene. ⚡️

this new single “Red Tide” shows off their musical prowess superbly, with a driving bassline setting the scene for the track, with a gorgeous groove, soft and delicate piano chords over the top and a slick guitar melody that really decorate the soundscape beautifully. Lia’s vocal soars expertly over the track, sounding gorgeous and with a really intricate approach to songwriting, it’s definitely a track to spin on a summer’s day like today! 💫
