Just The Crust 31/03/25: Nat Dempsey – Not Quite There Yet 👊

31st Mar 202531st Mar 2025artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new single “Not Quite There Yet” from Nat Dempsey! 🎶

we’re huge fans of Nat, with his effortless, down-to-earth and relatable songwriting talent, and his ability to create a standout melody that will stick in your head – his last single “Everyday People” was an incredible show of his ability, and he’s just dropped his second single 🙌

this new single takes a bit more of a mellow and atmospheric approach, compared to his last single, with the same jangley indie-pop sound building through the verses, with a lovely chorus-ey guitar tone, playing a lovely laid-back and flowing melody, and his vocal taking command and ensuring the listener’s attention on his storytelling, with carefully-crafted, personal and picturesque lyrics, and a lovely foundation of a driving bass and tight drums that really glue the track together. it’s a fantastic listen, and a brilliant indication of his talent 🌙

the track is available to stream on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/5SOJBcGdDp6a6Fy74xOUvN – well worth checking out! 🌆

17th Mar 202517th Mar 2025artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Forever” by HealeyBadger! 🙌

we’ve had HealeyBadger perform for us a good few times now at our open mics, and we’re always blown away by their professional performances, their quality songwriting talent and excellent musicianship – it’s not hard to see why they’ve been going down a storm across the North West and beyond at their gigs 🎶

this new single sounds incredible, with a real jazzy element right from the get-go, a lovely feel good atmosphere with the rhythm sections in perfect sync, creating a fantastic soundscape, and a brilliant backdrop for the lead vocal to take charge – Di’s vocals sound amazing here, and her delivery is top-notch; really outpouring the emotion and feelings to make this track one to remember. the backing of the bass and drums give the track a real sense of groove, accentuating the silky pianowork – it’s a super lovely listen 🎧

you can find it on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/0YJXVUyfNRXygHi6PofH4m – well worth checking out! 🤝
