our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Bonfire Tide “The Old Boys“!
we were astounded by their first few releases back in 2021, really encapsulating a unique sound consisting of modern indie rock music, with a real touch of nostalgia for 2000’s contemporary folk music – yet defining themselves as ones to watch with intricate melodies and honed musicianship.
they’ve gone above and beyond with this new release, not only remaining true to their original sound but expanding upon it, with a gorgeous backdrop to the track, laced with delicate piano runs, cello flowing throughout the soundscape, all which only compliment David’s vocal – you can tell that there’s been time and effort put into every single melody on the track to ensure that it all comes together to create something special. the explosivity of the latter section of the track creates a gorgeous contrast within it, driving the hook home and establishing a real sense of ferocity in their music.
you can find the single over on YouTube with a full music video over at https://youtu.be/Y8Ua1SZZkBw – it’s available to stream on all the platforms as well. well worth a listen, we can’t wait to hear more!
