our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the explosive new single “Mood Ring” from FEAR of MARKO

a real standout talent on the Manchester scene, we’ve known Marko for a good while, having had him perform a bunch, caught him live at so many gigs and we’re always in awe of his unique and ferocious talent – with not only a captivating and impressive stage presence, but also backed with the ability to create truly personal and unique songs that will have anyone dancing along. a must-see artist!

we’re massive fans of his music, having had the last single on repeat this year – and this new single “Mood Ring” only proves his musical capabilities even further! it opens with a ferocious hook, backed with a wall of distortion and a driving drum beat that give a real energy behind the track – and Marko takes charge of the song with his gritty and raw performance, utilising so many genres within his style to ensure that you’re hooked on every word. his lyricism in this one is spot on – his ability to tell a story in such a personal and passionate way yet maintaining a serious element of cool is one that puts FEAR of MARKO’s music above the rest.

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s an incredible music video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0vTP5kJUN0 – it’s well worth a watch, incredible visuals!

Just The Crust 24/07/23: Flowers of Evil + The Strangerz – Out of Bed 🏅

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Flowers Of Evil + The strangerz “Out of Bed“!

we’ve been huge fans of Flowers of Evil since we heard their track “Cherry-AID” last year, with their infectious energy, smooth groove and unexpected track flow and structure, they really put themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the North West scene!

this new single only reinforces their infectious upbeat style, with a gorgeous hook right from the get-go, only to explode into a huge electronic melody that’s sure to get anyone grooving. the dynamic of this song is lush, dropping away and breaking down immediately to push the focus on the vocal, becoming super intimate and proving their musical prowess. the balance between the verses and the choruses is expertly handled, it’s very difficult to create a contrast like this but they’ve pulled it off, the groove of the track is lovely and it flows super well.

the production of the song is fantastic, with really intrinsically created soundscapes, it keeps the attention of the listener so well and there’s a whole bunch of stuff going on, without feeling too much or chaotic in any way – the bridge is almost a dream-like state, flowing effortlessly throughout until it explodes into the final chorus that just gels the track together superbly. we can’t wait to hear this one live!

you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0m3FoEPROirtK5hZpJV7W4 – it’s available to check out on all streaming sites, and is well worth a full listen! another incredible release under their belts.

Just The Crust 27/03/23: Hayden J Barlow – INAMORATA

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from one of our favourites Hayden J Barlow “INAMORATA“!

we’ve been massive fans of Hayden’s music for a while now, his album last year was absolutely sensational and this continues yet another strong output of singles – his unique style and drive to create something that truly stands out is inspirational.

this new tune starts off calm and collected, exposing his feelings through his lyricism but then opens up massively into the chorus, with a gorgeous sub-bass under the track, holding together the staggered rhythm section and synth lines that give a real sense of energy under his vocal, which sounds super clear and shows off his ability super well. the production is on point for this one too, keeping the track interesting and fresh all the way through – we’re huge fans of this one.

you can find it over on his Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/54QKgqIuwIximWz6A6ZQG2 – give the full thing a listen, it sounds boss!
