Just The Crust 16/05/22: Aaron Spencer – Do It All Again ☀️

16th May 202216th May 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Aaron Spencer “Do It All Again”!

the Liverpool-based songwriter has been hard at it lately, making waves on the Merseyside scene and expanding out to be a force to be reckoned with in the North West. we had him perform at one of our gigs last year, and he smashed his set – a proper talented chap!

this new tune which came out last Friday sounds absolutely boss, adding to an already super strong string of releases from himself – mixing aspects of indie-rock and singer-songwriter genres with a more mellow and relaxed atmosphere for this tune, it sounds real lovely.

proper enjoyed the laidback and personal conversation aspect to this track, it feels proper intimate and really gives you an insight into Aaron’s lyrical style. the band behind him really open up his sound too, bringing a smoother edge to his music, and really compliments his style. plus, with a proper singalong chorus, we expect this one to go down a storm live! one of our favourites in Liverpool for sure.

you can find the full track over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6ASH6um17bCKIRFUhW1Jw4 – well worth giving his past releases a spin too, proper talented chap. keep your eyes peeled on his page for a full music video release!

9th May 20229th May 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Stone Mile “Settle Down”!

following the success of their debut single earlier this year, Stone Mile have returned with yet another huge sounding track – chock-full of lovely lead guitar riffs and explosive energy! their no-nonsense alternative rock sound really shows their class, and with gorgeous lead vocals throughout the track, they’ve created a proper banger here.

they’ve just played over at Night People and we’re seriously looking forward to seeing where these guys go now, they’ve got a real lovely vibe to their tracks and you can really tell that these guys gel so well with each other, their sound is super tight and flows smoothly throughout the length of the tracks.

check out the full tune over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/2OMsrshQGat9YaX1rn2G40 – well worth a listen to both of their singles too, definitely ones to watch here on the Manchester scene!
