REVIEW: Dreaming of Citra – BMW 🚘

Categories artist, bread, local scene, new music, reviewLeave a Comment on REVIEW: Dreaming of Citra – BMW 🚘

Manchester-based dream-pop outfit Dreaming of Citra have returned with their brand new single “BMW“!

a familiar face for us, we’ve covered a bunch of their tunes over the past few years, and we love their delicate balance of intricate, yet powerful melodies, hard-hitting and rooted rhythm that gives such an effortless feel to their music, and soaring, dreamy flows throughout each of the tracks that blend superbly together. coupled with such a strong lead vocal, their ability to create a tune that’s not only relatable, but also one to have a bit of a boogie to and a proper singalong.

over the past few months they’ve made their way down to the Isle of Wight Festival, they’re up in Stockton-On-Tees for The Gathering Sounds, had a bunch of radio play and features for the new single, and even announced a show at Gorilla on the 3rd of October, here in Manchester – well worth a trip down to!

we love this new track, it’s a got a real lovely atmosphere throughout, opening with a dreamy guitar riff that dances effortlessly over the rigidity of the bass and drums, forming a solid foundation within the track – and the vocal comes in to perfectly compliment the riff, with an almost conversationalist flow, delivering the story of the track with expert lyrical ability and quality musical flow. the chorus opens up into a proper anthemic feel, with an infectious melody, a real singalong tune that’s gonna be a real hit at their live shows!

with driving rhythm, gorgeous guitar melodies, proper atmospheric feel and quality lyricism, it’s yet another tune under their belt, and definitely one to check out to welcome in the autumn months!

Categories artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment on Just The Crust 10/08/26: Pillow Fort – Codename Kids Next Year 🌠

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Codename Kids Next Year” by pillow fort 💥

their first single in three years, the Nottingham trio have made a real name for themselves over the past decade, having played all across the UK and sharing the stage with names such as Michael Cera Palin and Crywank, selling out cassette tape runs of their previous EPs and cementing themselves within the UK DIY emo scene 👊

the track sounds fantastic, marking a new era of more direct, emotionally charged material – opening with a driving guitar chord progression that flows excellently alongside huge drums and bass, giving a real energetic foundation for the vocal to take command over. the lyrics are raw and honest, we love how personal and conversational they are, spilling secrets and emotion, conveying both anger and vulnerability effortlessly. it’s a brilliant listen 💥

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and the full music video is available to watch on YouTube over at https://youtu.be/8qPV9FCfB5E 🎧

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new debut single “Angela Raynor (Big Tesco)” from The Ruffians 💥

the Manchester-based alternative-punk outfit have been making a name for themselves in the North West for the past two years, with their energetic, unpredictable performances and anthemic tunes. we’ve had them perform for us a bunch, and we’re always in awe of their excellent songwriting talent, with such down-to-earth and lively performances 👊

this single sounds fantastic, and having heard it a bunch at shows, we can safely say it’s captured the raw energy of their live performance 🥁 there’s proper driving energy behind the track, with a grungey bassline that accompanies a powerful drum pattern creating a proper solid foundation, and there’s a fantastic element of dynamic in the balance from the build-up to the punky, fast-paced main riff, building effortlessly throughout and maintaining a proper excellent flow right to the end of the track 🌙

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/6arKI4haNVlC9IN9YsNM7K – well worth checking out 🔈

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Violent Thoughts” by Punch-in 🌠

the Warrington-based alternative rock outfit have been making waves across the North West as of late, performing at gigs and festivals over the last few months, and we covered their previous single on our The Wrap feature! 🙌

this new track, their third release, expands further on their sound, opening with a delicate piano melody that explodes into a punky, grungey riff, setting the mood for the song expertly, a track “about growing older and wiser, and the reckoning that follows through” – and with personal, intimate and introspective lyricism, it’s a real honest depiction of moving through life. there’s a lovely balance of dynamic in the track, and the flow is excellent, with quality builds and expert production throughout. it’s well worth a listen 🌠

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and you can support them directly by purchasing it on Bandcamp at https://punchin.bandcamp.com/track/violent-thoughts 💿

Just The Crust 29/06/26: Superfriends – Turn To Crime 🌙

Categories artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment on Just The Crust 29/06/26: Superfriends – Turn To Crime 🌙

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Turn To Crime” from Superfriends 🎶

we covered their previous EP “Superfriends Are Online” back in 2023, and we loved their energetic, infectious energy present within every track, and they’ve managed to translate and expand upon their signature sound effortlessly with this new release 🔈

the track opens with an upbeat and driving guitar melody, that really sets the scene for the track, yet with the energetic and jangly tone there’s a real contrast lyrically, with a stark and dark look at modern society. the track’s main hook “can I turn to crime, cause I want out of this sucker’s life” reflects a bleak outlook of the current situation, yet their ability to convey that anger and distress into a hopeful and positive energy is real proof of their musical talent. it’s a fantastic listen and we can’t wait to hear what else they have in store! 👊

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a full music video available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/ZwADQNjGGhs 🎧

the Wolverhampton-based outfit have already released one single to critical acclaim, having garnered support from various radio stations and coverage from the Official Charts – and performing all across the West Midlands! 🎸

this new tune sounds fantastic, opening with a moody and dark soundscape that encompasses the flow of the entire track, with a luscious groove forming the backbone, allowing for a gorgeous guitar melodies and a soaring vocal to take command of the listener’s attention. they’re able to blend a variety of genres together to really create a unique yet anthemic flavour to their music – it’s a fantastic tune! 🌠
