our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from the amazing Bonfire Tide “Every Terrible Thing“!

they’ve been making waves this year, having just performed at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton last weekend, releasing their first single of 2023 “The Old Boys” and they’ve got a gig on this coming Friday supporting the amazing James Holt at Sacred Trinity Church!

this new single sounds incredible, opening up with a gorgeous tapestry of sound that we’ve come to expect with their music – David’s main vocal sounds absolutely gorgeous over the track, his ability to control the softer aspects and then belt it out when necessary marks him as an exceptional vocalist. the soundscape behind him through the instrumentation is incredible, you can really hear the craft and effort put in by the band to really create something special.

this is one of our favourite ones by them yet, and we can’t wait to hear more – you can find the music video in full over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/jy4DB7mm5cE or it’s on all the streaming platforms to listen! well worth checking out

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Bound In Chains” from the Birmingham-based songwriter Aurora Rays

right from the get-go, the track invites you in with a calm and steady piano melody, creating a sense of ease for Aurora’s vocal to sit perfectly above. her vocal capabilities are on full show here, sounding incredible – and as the track opens up into the chorus, the drums give it a real feel of urgency, complimenting the lyrical content here super well. in the latter part of the track, there’s a real gorgeous show of all the instrumentation working in tandem with one another to reflect the ferocity of the song, with a huge final chorus and a beautiful conclusion at the end.

it’s a proper gorgeous tune and you can find Aurora’s discography in full alongside this new song at https://open.spotify.com/artist/06RwNl3JbijMhGDSI1UK4d – well worth checking out.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Champagne On The Rocks UK “Golden Hour“!

we caught these guys live last year or so and were amazed by their energetic stage presence and slick lyrical ability, and their debut single “Malibu” sounds fantastic – this new tune only expands on their talent!

led by a lovely melodic guitar pattern, paired with a country-esque lead riff – it sets a gorgeous backdrop for the calm and composed main vocal to sit above. the relaxed atmosphere is a lovely breath of fresh air in a music scene that often relies on heavier elements to keep the energy going, and the lyricism on this is lovely, a real outburst of feeling and emotion. as the track progresses, the drums give it a new element of energy without taking away from the relaxed atmosphere of the track, and it sounds fantastic. well worth a listen!

you can find it on all of the streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/3vFQq1saL9BjqUPLYunf56 – give it a spin and add it to your playlists!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Daniel Darley “To Feel Love Closer” out this Friday!

we’ve caught Daniel performing a bunch across Manchester over the course of the last year or so, and even had him on a few gigs ourselves – we were huge fans of his debut single “Faking” and his cool, calm and collected stage presence.

this new song only shows off his talent, and captures his live atmosphere perfectly – laden with gorgeous vocalwork, and a beautiful soundscape behind him, it shows off not only his vocal ability, but his talent to be able to craft a beautiful song. the feeling of the track is relaxed, yet maintains an eerie state of tension throughout as it builds – and you can hear all sorts of influences in the track, yet it’s come to be something that Daniel can truly call his own. one of our favourites from him so far!

you can pre-save the track over at https://ffm.to/tofeellovecloser to get it in your libraries as soon as it’s out, and it’s well worth doing so, an incredible follow-up to his debut.

we’ve caught Bay perform a bunch of times now, and they are always astounding, able to hold the audience in the palm of their hand; with well-written and carefully constructed tracks, and a controlled and expertly delicate live presence, we always love catching Bay play at gigs.

this is their first full release, and it perfectly captures the atmosphere that they convey live – it’s a gorgeous and super easy listen, with beautiful soundscapes enveloping the tracks, it really feels like you’re in Bay’s story and they’re detailing every aspect of it perfectly, with the strength of the storytelling and songwriting throughout. there’s waves of serenity throughout, and the songs feel so inviting – it’s a super gorgeous release packed with dynamic intensity, still calmness and production value that is second to none. we’ve heard some of the singles in the past, but in the full context of the album they’ve only got stronger – there’s a fantastic flow to the release that only accentuates the skill conveyed throughout each track.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Jacob Reddy Music “Wear The Crown“!

a familiar face on the North West scene, Jacob played a headline show at The Deaf Institute at the start of the year – we went down and were seriously impressed by his tunes and ability to keep a crowd entertained. we love his songwriting style and he’s been making absolute waves over the past few years!

this new tune sounds proper mega, really showing off his prowess as a songwriter, and his ability to convey his emotions into lyrical form whilst maintaining a lovely prose to it all – the feel of the track is super upbeat and it flows so well, a lovely groove behind it and really translating his live energy into a studio setting. the track is anthemic, real lovely singalong atmosphere to it; whilst with a real optimistic attitude behind it too! great stuff.

our feature for this week’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Scott and The Flying Kicks “Want Me Dead / Growing Old“!

we’ve covered a whole bunch of his music in the past, and his EP last year was fantastic, a great collection off tracks that really show off his songwriting prowess. since then, he’s put out a string of fantastic singles that only solidify his ability as an artist – great to see.

this new single is a continuation of his solid musical capability – with a lovely guitar riff leading the track, and a strong rhythmic element grounding the song – and his conversationalist songwriting style here really gives the song a gorgeous flow! the brass in the background towards the latter section of the song is a gorgeous addition, really giving it a breath of fresh air and keeping the track interesting.

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.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the newest single from Gallaher’s Green “Young Man’s Game”

we had these guys perform for us back in January for our On The Rise at Lions Den Manchester and we were amazed by their formidable stage presence, their energetic tunes and down-to-earth energy! played a proper blinder for us as well.

this new tune only exemplifies all of that, with a massive guitar riff kicking off the track, showing what they’re about right from the get-go. you can really feel the chemistry that the band has here, with the drums and bass locked in real tight to create a steady groove for the track to flow over, and the catchy, memorable lyrics portray the message of the tune superbly. as the track progresses, it builds and builds with such ease and creates a gorgeous space for that guitar solo to shine in. a fantastic tune!

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!
