Just The Crust 21/03/22: The Sewer Cats – Answer The Question 👊

21st Mar 202221st Mar 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from one of our favourites on the scene, The Sewer Cats with “Answer The Question”!

ever since we caught them live back in 2019 before the pandemic, and heard their debut EP “Zelda”, we’ve been massive fans of their ferocious energy, driving guitar riffs and no-nonsense lyrics they’re a force to be reckoned with live, one of the loudest bands we’ve heard and they’re only a two-piece! absolutely fantastic to see.

this latest single sees them continuing in this fashion, with luscious feedback and distortion everywhere, guitar riffs that really push the track forward and some of the angriest vocals that we’ve heard Cass do yet! really pouring the anger into this, it’s a real testament to the underground punk scene and a real declaration towards the actions of the government over the past few years. we absolutely love the breakdown too, the riffs and melodies accompany the drums and lovely fills so well and it’s definitely one to check out for anyone who loves a good bit of punk/riot grrrl tunes.

you can find the full video over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/16j9eEGBY8A – well worth a watch, it really delivers on the impact of the track and another fantastic release on the TNSrecords roster! you can also find the track on all streaming platforms as always!

18th Mar 2022artist, bread, local scene, narwhals, new musicLeave a Comment

our first release from the fantastic Narwhals “3310 & A Pterosaur” has been out for just over a month now!

we’re super stoked to have these guys on the label, expanding out our roster with their heartfelt and intimate music. Jacob’s songwriting here is exquisite, really bringing you into the story conveyed through the track. the instrumentation and production surrounding Jacob’s vocal is perfect, really expanding out the track and giving it so much room to breathe whilst guiding the song along in such an expert manner. so many fantastic releases on the label now from our artists, we’re super blessed.

you can check out the single over on Bandcamp at https://narwhalsuk.bandcamp.com/album/3310-a-pterosaur – have a listen and support us by purchasing it if you fancy! the b-side is a cover of Frightened Rabbit‘s “Good Arms vs Bad Arms”, and it’s a beautiful tribute to Scott. let us know what you think!

Just The Crust 14/03/22: VALA – This Town ☀️

14th Mar 202214th Mar 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from VALA “This Town”!

we’ve had VALA on our radar for a while now and they’ve put out some incredible releases, they’ve got such a lovely unique sound to their music and the Manchester-based band have only been going from strength to strength with each release and gig they’ve played – selling out shows across the country, how boss

this new tune is super lovely, a real indie-rock banger from the lads. the elements of lo-fi in the track really give it a personality and with lovely lyricism, a chorus that sticks in your head like glue, and string ensembles really complimenting the rest of the instruments, it’s one not to miss out on! we love the bridge too with that autotuned vocal, really gives the track an edge and brings it into a lovely breakdown. fantastic stuff from these guys and released with the class talents of Shoplifters Union!

you can find it on all streaming sites and that, on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs where you can also find the rest of their discography, and there’s a music video out soon on their YouTube! all going on, well worth a listen

as always, you can find all of our reviews, music, features and more on our website at www.breadrecords.co.uk
