our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Creature” from Moss Valley 🤘
their second offering, we loved their previous debut “Beyond“, which was an explosive and fierce introduction to the band – and when we had them perform for us, we were astounded by their stage presence and musical prowess! a must-see band 💥
this new single continues with their grungey sounds of the debut, yet with a more fast-paced, punky atmosphere – a real powerful guitar line forming the foundation of the track, with massive rhythm from the bass and drums working in perfect unison to provide a driving groove to the tune, leaving plenty of space for lead singer Zara’s vocal to take charge 👊 and with expert lyricism, depicting the story of a being that attempts to go against the grain, told in a well-woven tale 🌙
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/22cnKmwF5A496WEEVP4qfG – well worth checking out ✨
