our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Oli Barton, “You Just Played My Mind“! ๐ถ
the indie-rock songwriter returns with a brand new track, following the success of his previous few singles – and having performed a bunch across London recently, he’s really come into his own as one to watch on the UK scene ๐ค
“You Just Played My Mind” is a track to remember, with a dark and moody undertone set to a bright and upbeat backdrop – a gorgeous contrast in the tune. the lyrics are raw and passionate, and proves his worth as a songwriter, and with a massive chorus that is bound to get you singing along! the bridge is great, a lovely drop that builds and builds to the final chorus, a great dynamic that sounds incredible. ๐
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a lyric video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RTohiItcJE – well worth checking out! ๐ซ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Getner “Poitรญn” 
we had them perform for us the other week and they were absolutely incredible, with such a great energy and stage presence, plus so many bangers under their belt 
this new single “Poitรญn” sounds unreal, a lovely atmospheric vibe and super droney, as Quentin’s vocal commands the attention of the listener – there’s an incredible build in this song too, slowly unravelling to the chorus that’s a real earworm. there’s a lovely rock and roll element to it, but it’s got so much alternative and grungey influence; a real unique sound to it and a fantastic show of their talent.
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and it’s available to watch on YouTube at https://youtu.be/dVpff_F57Sk – well worth checking out!

we’re back with our newest edition of our The Wrap feature, with reviews of some of our favourite releases from last month, May 2024! ๐ฎ another incredible month of music, with so many amazing tracks being released – here’s just a few of our favourites! you can find all of our reviews below! โฌ๏ธ
Swansea-based indie-rock outfit Subterrania have just dropped their their single “Knows Me Too Well“! After performing across the UK at multiple gigs, festivals, and off the resounding success of their previous tracks, they’ve smashed it with this new one. Lots of Madchester vibes in there, a sense of psychedelic influence, and it’s a good old no-nonsense indie tune. The track still feels new and fresh yet touches greatly on the 90’s reminiscence – lots of guitar solos throughout and great rhythmic elements; a fantastic feel-good track that anyone will be able to enjoy.
We’ve covered Isaac Neilson’s tracks a bunch in the past, we love his tracks, and we’ve had him perform for us a bunch too, with fantastic stage presence, great lyricism and upbeat and energetic vibes throughout – this new single “The Fight Within Us” is a perfect embodiment of it all! There’s a lovely jarring lead guitar riff throughout, that feels slightly off, yet still holds together so well – and the drumwork in the back gives the track a fantastic rhythm, and the bass accentuates it further, giving the track so much room to breathe, and for Isaac to take control with his powerful vocal, commanding attitude and intricate lyricism. A great tune!
Here at the label, we’re absolutely huge fans of Sugarstone – having not only had them perform for us at our On The Irwell festival but seeing them plenty of times, and they always know how to put on an absolutely astounding show. Their tunes are genre-defying, energetic, lyrically adept and thoughtful; being able to produce something fresh and new every single time. This new single “In Tatters” sounds fantastic, with a gorgeous riff leading the way, the lead vocal commanding the track, the rhythm elements in perfect unison to lay the foundation – and that synth at the end feels so nasty and intense but lifts the track perfectly for the climatic ending. Unreal as ever!
We had Rose Oleria perform for us last year at our headline with Scatterchild, and we were blown away by her stage presence, her ability to encapsulate an audience – her new single “Stranger” here only exemplifies that ability. An intricate, gorgeous track with a huge atmosphere behind it, a lovely interaction of pianowork and guitarwork creating a luscious space for her vocal to control the listener’s attention. With honest, raw and direct lyrics, and her vocal capabilities are on full show here; what a voice and what a talent. The dynamic of this track only compliments her songwriting skills, rising and falling perfectly to really prove the quality of the tune. Incredible to see!
Dream-pop extraordinaire Hannah Robinson has just returned with her brand new single “Iโm Sorry I Let You Down“! We had her perform for us at The Castle in the past and we were amazed by her effortlessly cool grungey shoegaze vibes, unleashing a horde of dreamy tunes upon the crowd – such an incredible songwriter and her band working in perfect unison to give them a lovely atmosphere. This new single is fantastic, touching way more on a 90’s alternative vibe but still maintaining the atmosphere of her previous tracks – it’s got a lovely groove behind it and it’s a proper intimate tune, with raw and passionate lyricism – plus with a luscious soundscape, an incredible breakdown and a proper singalong chorus.. we can’t wait to hear even more.
We’ve known Mathew Kerry for a real long time now, having been acquainted with his music for a good number of years; he’s not only an incredible songwriter but an all-around lovely chap. This new release “The Shawton Suite” from him is gorgeous, we heard a track or two from it when he played for us in March, but the release oozes authenticity, intimacy and rawness – you love to see it. His lyrical melodies, use of language and lyricism is second to none; he can string together a gorgeous line so easily. There’s a lovely range of vibes on this, ranging from a more sombre tone to more feel-good and upbeat; his songwriting capability and talent is on full show here, a fantastic listen.
We’ve loved each and every one of Tallulah Guard’s releases so far, having had them perform for us a bunch and them play alongside some of our favourite Manchester artists – their new single “All The People Iโve Been” is an incredible show of their talent. It’s an incredibly emotional and raw track, dealing with identity and their desire to be seen for who they are; the lyricism throughout this is absolutely unreal, a direct and passionate tune that will make anyone empathise with their feelings. With lovely vocal melodies, a fantastic singalong chorus and just a proper sense of realness through it – this track is a fantastic indication of how incredible Tallulah’s music really is.
When Luc Garrett performed his headline show for us last year, we were blown away by the effortless connection that him and his band had, weaving melodies and linking up throughout every bar of every song – this new single “Hold On” is a gorgeous show of all of that. We were huge fans of his previous tunes, and he’s gone even further with this one – with a gorgeous atmosphere to the track, elevating his intimate and raw lyricism, his soft and gentle vocal commanding the space, each instrument working in perfect harmony to create a dreamy soundscape, a real sense of calm and bliss can be found in this track and we’re massive fans of it. Brilliant to listen to!
it’s been yet another incredible month of music, with so many fantastic releases, and there’s a whole plethora of talent out there that we didn’t get to cover! thanks to everyone who has checked this out, and we hope you enjoyed it! ๐ค

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Sheffield’s Pale Sailor “jorts season.“! ๐
they formed last year, and this is their second single – after a fantastic debut track in March, which really set the scene for their emo/mid-west tone, with intricate soundscapes and intimate lyricism. we love their attention to detail, with gorgeous riffs and upbeat rhythm forming their music – and their second single here only accentuates that! ๐ค
they’ve gone from strength to strength over the past few months, and “jorts season.” sounds fantastic, with grungey undertones, honest lyricism and driving rhythm really coming together to create an amazing tune. it’s got a lovely groove behind it, and there’s a brilliant dynamic, with a real sense of build throughout the whole track, proving their quality. what a track! ๐ซ

we’ve had them perform for us a bunch now, and they always astound us with their high-energy performances, quality musicianship, amazing band chemistry and insane stage presence – they know exactly how to entertain a crowd ๐
we loved their previous releases, and this new tune only exceeds our expectations; a more atmospheric intro compared to their previous tracks, but with a gorgeous groove setting the scene, with Maria’s vocals gracefully taking control of the soundscape – and the drop into the guitar riff is absolutely lush.. a fantastic riff that commands your attention immediately. the balance of the vocal and the guitar is so lovely, complimenting each other perfectly throughout – and set to a really tight rhythm section that just completes the sound perfectly. ๐ฅ another incredible tune under their belt!

Manchester’s own Cottons have just released their brand new single “Second Hand Living Room“, an explosive return from the alternative-pop outfit ๐ฅ we’ve been huge fans of these guys for a long time now and their incredible back catalogue of releases sees another massive tune added to it!
We first had Cottons perform for us way back in 2019 or so, before the pandemic and they blew us away with their incredible stage energy, upbeat and catchy tunes, their ability to write an incredible hook and the innate chemistry within the band ๐ค
You can really hear it in this new song, with gorgeous guitar melodies lacing the track – the tone is luscious, and paired with the synth lead it combines for an infectious upbeat feel!
The track has a fantastic groove behind it, with a drumbeat that feels not only confident and tight but has a real element of dynamic throughout, matching perfectly to the bassline – giving so much room within the track for the vocal to take centre stage!
It’s a real singalong tune, with the main vocal utilising a lovely melody throughout – plus, with a catchy chorus hook, intricate and descriptive lyricism, and the offset vocal melody of the second verse contrasting to the first; definitely a proper summer feel to this one! โ๏ธ
you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms – it’s another incredible tune under their belt and we can’t wait to see where they go next! definitely worth checking out all of their tracks, we’ve covered their music a bunch; a fantastic band! ๐
