Manchester’s own Cottons have just released their brand new single “Second Hand Living Room“, an explosive return from the alternative-pop outfit 💥 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 🤝
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! ☀️
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! 🙌

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from William Cawley, “Regine/Or?” ☀️
we covered his previous release towards the end of last year, and his upbeat indie-rock styling is great, reminiscent of surf rock and 60’s sounds; chock full of jangly guitars, vocal harmonies and singalong vibes. 👊
this new single is more of a downbeat, moody and atmospheric vibe – especially with the guitar tone, a more post-punk 80’s feel, yet still with the energetic drumbeat that we became accustomed to in his previous work. it’s a more direct track lyrically, a more ambient feel yet still full on and loud 🙌 the breakdown at the end is like a lovely contrast to the rest of the track, and it jumps straight back into a final run of the chorus expertly.
you can find the track on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1KGAiXeLAgZmrIzpxBDqga – well worth a listen! 🎧

we’ve covered VALA a bunch over the past year or so and we’re always blown away by the quality of their tunes, so many belters and they’ve got a super unique sound; and when we caught them live at The Deaf Institute they were incredible, a brilliant night. 😊
this new EP only continues this trend, with a couple of tracks that we’re already huge fans of, and a few new ones thrown in there too! their lo-fi indie pop sound is on full force here, with lush guitar tones throughout and feelgood upbeat vibes – set to a lovely laidback atmosphere. the opener “Change Your Mind” is one of the new ones, and it sounds incredible, a real show of their unique style. amazing! well worth checking out, a bunch of great tunes! 🎶
you can find the EP on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs – definitely worth listening, a load of great tracks in their back catalogue too! 🤝
