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
next Thursday they’ll be performing a full headline set, with support from Really Rhubarb and a big shout to our good pals Lamp Oil Presents for putting the show together.
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single “let me go” from Jenni Orlopp ๐
the Manchester-based alt-pop artist has a strong repertoire of music behind her already, with a run of singles and EP released, and her dark-wave styled genre-blending tracks have set her as one to definitely keep an eye out for โจ
this new single sounds incredible, right from the get-go it’s got a driving energy, with a dark and fierce synth line forming the base of the track, powerful rhythm complimenting the groove and her vocal takes centre-stage, delivering personal and raw lyricism expertly. she utilises flowing melodies throughout the track, with guitar riffs and synth runs that work in unison to create a vivid atmosphere within the song; she’s able to paint a fascinating picture through the track, with an incredible use of lyricism, instrumentation and production. ๐
