Just The Crust 19/01/26: Lily Haylett – Secrets πŸŽΆ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Secrets” from Lily Haylett! πŸŒ™

the Manchester-based grunge-influenced songwriter released her debut single “Miss Safrano” last year, and has been performing across the North West a bunch throughout the remainder of 2025, and is back with a brand new single 🎢

this new single has a real echo of 90’s alternative to it, with a lofi-esque drumbeat backing the soft, delicate guitar progression, creating a luscious atmosphere for her vocal to soar above the instrumentation, conveying her story with effortless and powerful delivery; with a lovely chorus, raw and personal lyricism, it’s a real intimate track that sounds fantastic 🎡

you can find the track on all streaming plafroms including on Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/album/2jcXmndJa9tScWnOj9ZMgO – well worth checking out! 🎧

Just The Crust 05/01/25: Hospital Radio. – L.A. πŸ‘Š

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “L.A.” from Hospital Radio.! 🎢

the Manchester-based midwest-emo outfit have been on the scene for a good while now, and they released their debut single earlier last year – a great first tune for them! πŸ‘Š

this new single “L.A.” follows on from the success of their debut, and with signature melodic guitar riffs, powerful and driving rhythm, accompanied by expert lyricism and fierce vocal delivery, it’s a real banger – their use of dynamic within their music compliments the songwriting style superbly, giving a real sense of flow to the track. it’s a great listen and a must for any fans of alternative indie/emo πŸŒ™
