there’s only a week to go til we’re down at HOME Mcr with Scatterchild, with a special exhibition show celebrating the release of the new single “New Ocean”
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Motorman” from punk heavyweights Getner ๐
we’ve caught Getner live a bunch of times, and we’re always so blown away by their stage presence, they’ve got huge anthemic tunes and their ability to hold an audience in the palm of their hand is second to none ๐ถ
this single is real proof of their talent, and it captures their live energy superbly, with a proper driving riff forming the base of the track, backed by huge rhythm that builds the foundation, giving plenty of space for vocalist Quentin to command the direction of the tune with his powerful vocal. the track addresses a lost British squaddie on the streets of Ireland during The Troubles, and whilst the track is lyrically superbly written, it also aims to educate listeners on a history that most may not know about. a proper quality tune ๐ฅ
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new debut single “Rollercoaster” from Leeds-based psych-rock outfit The Venus Children ๐
their first release, they’ve been making a name for themselves on the Leeds circuit performing all across the city, and wowing audiences with their groove-driven psychedelic sounds ๐
this new single sounds mega, opening with a solid foundation of rhythm, such a drive from the bass and drums, giving plenty of room for the guitar riff to dance over. the verse has a proper vibe to it, and it opens up excellently into a huge grungey chorus, filled with distorted sounds and anthemic lyricism. they’re able to blend a huge variety of influences to create their own sound, and make it feel effortless – a brilliant debut! ๐
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Triple Calm” from Plasticine! โ๏ธ
the Sheffield-based outfit blend influence from a variety of genres, from shoegaze to indie to alt-rock, to create a melodic-based sound that they can truly call their own; and they’ve been making a real name for themselves with the success of their previous two singles ๐
this new single sounds mega, it’s got a gorgeous guitar riff that resonates throughout the song, backed with driving rhythm that forms a real solid foundation for the track, allowing for arpeggiated guitar melodies and the soft, flowing vocal to soar freely in the atmosphere of the song. it’s got more of a sing-along style with an anthemic chorus, and the texture of the track is gorgeous – a fantastic listen! ๐
