Just The Crust 27/11/23: Chris Tavener – The Daily Grind ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Chris TavenerThe Daily Grind“! 🙌

we’ve known Chris for a real long time now, he’s a staple of the Manchester music scene having performed here a plethora of times over the past few years, and his witty and comical music always stands out – his ability to capture any audience in his grasp is inspirational!

we’ve been big fans of his music for ages, his EP “Easy Ways To Be Happy” last year was sensational and he’s returned with another incredible track! continuing with his usual satirical style, he’s taking a playful swipe at the cost of living crisis of today, fueled by the consumption of coffee by the current society – mixed with an upbeat, jangly-pop musical backdrop give a real sense of urgency behind his lyrics. there’s the usual sense of humour that we’ve come to expect with Chris, and his originality is paramount throughout, he’s created a track that you can definitely tell is his own; another fantastic release! 🤘

you can find the track on all streaming sites, or the full video is available to watch on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNaSk2Pd1zo – well worth checking out! 👊

Just The Crust 20/11/23: VALA – Fishes 🙌

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from VALAFishes“! 🙌

we’ve been huge fans of VALA for a while now, having reviewed their past few singles which sound mega, a real lovely atmosphere to them and such a feel-good sound. we caught them at The Deaf Institute on Friday and they were class – well worth heading to one of their live shows! 🤘

this new single only extends to their already-fantastic discography, with a gorgeous guitar melody laying the foundation of the song, a tight rhythm holding it together and the main vocal utilising the space of the track superbly, especially with the use of the autotune to bring a more synthetic sound to the song – it’s still got the upbeat elements of their previous releases but brings all of their different influences to it, which is brilliant to see. 👊

you can find the track on all streaming platforms including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs – well worth a listen! 🎧
