available on all streaming platforms or you can support it directly over on Bandcamp at https://anyonesgh0st.bandcamp.com/album/molotov 
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Skin” from Zara Smile! 🙌
we’ve covered Zara’s music a bunch in the past, and we’re always so blown away by their ability to write captivating, relatable songs that not only feel personal and raw, but have a real sense of purpose and intent behind them. we were a huge fan of their latest single “Better” and we’ve been looking forward to new music for a good while now! 🌙
this new single “Skin” is a direct parallel to it’s pop-punk predecessor, with a much more intimate and intricate nature right from the start, feeling much more of like a late-night conversation with a close friend. the track flows effortlessly, with the addition of vocal harmonies, swirling violin melodies, and a light yet grounded rhythm that allows the track to really breathe, giving ample room for Zara’s songwriting ability to shine. it’s a real testament to their musical ability, being able to convey true passion and emotion with such variety in their songwriting! definitely one to keep an eye on for 2026 🌠
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and you can support the single directly on Bandcamp by purchasing it over at https://zarasmile.bandcamp.com/track/skin 💿

we’re back with our next edition of The Wrap! 💿
we’ve got reviews covering some of our favourite releases of May, and it’s been another incredible month of music! you can check out all of our reviews below ⬇️
Scottish songwriter Wave Of The Flood have just put out their debut album “FortyFive” – celebrating the 45rpm vinyl format, the album explores themes of love, vulnerability, and the human connection. Each song is exquisitely crafted, and you can hear the passion and care put into each of the tracks – with gorgeous instrumentation and intricate lyricism, it’s a lovely listen!
Country-pop artist Amy Jo has just released “Hold Your Horses” – a delicate and intimate track that relates to the theme of vulnerability and belonging, it’s got a lovely guitar melody throughout that really compliments the delicate nature of her vocal, which really shines through on this track, feeling like a conversation with a close friend. Such a fantastic track!
Liverpool-based indie-rock outfit White Ash have returned with their second single “Blue Skies“! It’s got a real infectious energy behind it, with a driving groove from the rhythm section, allowing for plenty of room for the vocal to take command, and with gorgeous guitar riffs throughout, anthemic singalong lyrics and a real feel-good energy, it’s set them as ones to watch for the year!
We were looking forward to this one for a while, as Mina My just put out her single “The Kill“. her ability to write a down-to-earth and grounded song is second to none, being able to convey feeling and emotion in a real poetic manner through music – and this song is real proof of that. it’s a driving yet intimate track with such a quality sense of dynamic within it, and it’s one on repeat for us!
Another familiar face for us, Nat Dempsey has just released his new single “Apparency“! we’re always in awe of his songwriting ability, with such a personal and raw emotional manner, and his guitarwork always effortlessly complimenting his lyrics – and this track sounds fantastic! it’s got a real sensibility to it, gorgeous production and a real intimate feel to it. an incredible new track from the Cumbrian songwriter!
Manchester-based blues-grunge outfit The Harlots have just put out their latest single “Mean Red Spider” – it’s got a proper no-nonsense attitude to it, opening up with huge guitar riffs and driving rhythm which set the scene for the track to balance into the main melody line, opening up space for the vocal to take centre-stage, preceded by a huge guitar solo and breakdown section – it sounds sensational, such a great listen!
Leeds-based alt-rockers Dulakes have just released their latest track “Thunderstorms“! following the release of their debut EP, they’ve attained a real following for their gorgeous blend of alternative, shoegaze and grunge, crafting their own dynamic sound, and this track sounds mega. at times it has an ambient feel to it, a spacey atmosphere that then drops into a real driving and flowing groove – all instruments working in perfect unison to truly convey real passion into their music!
Manchester-based dream-pop outfit Marie Franc have released their newest single “Pendle Hill“. there’s a real authentic atmosphere to this tune right from the start, haunting melodies and tones that set the scene expertly. the verses creep along with a proper groove, allowing for plenty of space for Rachel’s powerful vocal to take command of the listeners’ attention, there’s gorgeous melodies flittering throughout the soundscape, and the opening up to the grungier wall-of-sound drive invokes a real grandeur that truly escalates the track to another level. an incredible listen!
it’s been another fantastic month, with so many amazing tracks coming out – plus, so many that we didn’t cover!
