Just The Crust 15/07/24: Vienna – Ratatouille! I hardly know herโ€ฆ โ˜€๏ธ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Midlands-based emo outfit Vienna, “Ratatouille! I hardly know her…” out this Friday! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

their third single, it follows the success of their first two, which established them as ones to watch on the Midlands scene, and having garnered a bunch of attention with these releases, alongside a load of live performances, they’re back with a belter ๐Ÿ‘Š

this new single sounds fantastic, expanding excellently on the mid-west stylings of their earlier work, with a more direct and polished shine to the sound of the track – the guitarwork in the introduction is luscious, with some gorgeous melodies in there, and it expands out into the main riff of the track with a ferocious energy; it really proves the energy and passion put into this track. ๐ŸŒ™ the guitar tones sound mega throughout, and the rhythm section perfectly compliment them, giving the main vocal ample room to command the listener’s attention with a direct and powerful force, ensuring the audience hang onto every word of theirs, with great lyrical storytelling, you can tell that there’s real passion put into every sentence – an incredible listen! ๐ŸŽง

you can pre-save this track over at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/vienna9/ratatouille-i-hardly-know-her – out this Friday! in the meantime you can find their previous releases on their Spotify, and their YouTube is at https://www.youtube.com/@BandVienna ๐Ÿค

Just The Crust 08/07/24: Mad By Mourning – Black Car ๐Ÿ‘Š

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Mad By MourningBlack Car“! ๐Ÿ‘Š

we covered their previous single last year, “Creature Of Habit“, and we were astounded by their gothic, industrial sound – yet infusing a range of various influences, to truly create something that they can call their own – you can hear punk, metal, emo and chock-full of lyrical ingenuity, catchy hooks; it truly set them as ones to watch! ๐Ÿ˜Š

this new single begins in a more moody, darker vein compared to the previous, with a riff heavy, distorted atmosphere in the opening stage – it gives a load of room for the main vocal to take command in the first verse, demanding the listener’s attention – utilising the soundscape effectively, and with a fantastic, catchy and lyrically adept chorus – they’ve only gone beyond our expectations for this one. the grunginess and heaviness of the track is perfectly balanced with the more atmospheric elements of it, a lovely use of dynamic and contrast – fantastic to see, well worth a listen!! ๐ŸŽง (also with a luscious guitar solo too!)

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a visualiser available to watch on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYhj11V7-g0 – check it out! ๐ŸŒ™

the indie-rock songwriter returns with a brand new track, following the success of his previous few singles – and having performed a bunch across London recently, he’s really come into his own as one to watch on the UK scene ๐Ÿค

You Just Played My Mind” is a track to remember, with a dark and moody undertone set to a bright and upbeat backdrop – a gorgeous contrast in the tune. the lyrics are raw and passionate, and proves his worth as a songwriter, and with a massive chorus that is bound to get you singing along! the bridge is great, a lovely drop that builds and builds to the final chorus, a great dynamic that sounds incredible. ๐Ÿ™Œ
