Just The Crust 30/01/23: New Divide – Delora ☀️

30th Jan 202330th Jan 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from NEW DIVIDE “Delora”

after the release of their debut single last year, we’ve been proper looking forward to hearing more music from them – plus, we’ve had them play for us a bunch and we love their tunes, one of our favourite up-and-coming bands here in Manchester

this new tune only opens up their sound even more, going from more synth-based indie rock to a darker, more alternative feel with a bunch more distortion and atmosphere present in the track, a moody guitar riff that perfectly balances to Charlotte’s vocal and really puts an emphasis on the lyricism, which in itself is lovely and feels like you’re listening to an intimate conversation. halfway through the track, it takes a more grungey, heavier turn and shows off the versatility of the band – breaking down so well only to build back up to the final section and exploding in a wall of sound.. only to bring us back to it all with a huge ending chock-full of 90’s alternative undertones, guitar riffs, and explosive rhythm. incredible to hear!

you can find the track in full over on all the streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6xQsGS5C2ntq8WhLzLuMlU – well worth a listen and to add into your playlists!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new live single from Sam Scherdel “Boy Who Fell To Earth“!!

Sam’s been on our radar for a good while now, his releases have been absolutely fantastic and he’s been making waves on the UK scene with his gorgeous tunes, so well-written and with such a tender intimacy to them.

this new live tune only exemplifies his talent, a real well put-together rendition, with such beautiful care put into it, the piano perfectly balanced to his vocal. each element within the track is put in with a real sense of intimacy, the violins and the guitars add a tender backdrop for his music and the song’s lyricism is super raw and personal, a real outburst of pure emotion.

yet another fantastic tune under his belt, don’t miss out on Sam’s music as we’re sure he’s gonna be going places for sure. you can find it on all streaming platforms including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0dS6eC0a0XySm7hjOeGU3q – well worth a listen to the full track.

Just The Crust 16/01/22: The Window View – Sunset Paradise ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune “Sunset Paradise” from Cumbrian-based indie outfit The window view

they’ve been making waves up in the North for a while now, with singalong tunes and playing a bunch of gigs and that – they’ve pulled it all together with this release, their first single and it captures their style perfectly

full of indie-rock goodness, there’s riffs for days in it, opening with a lovely lead melody backed by a chorus-laden laidback chord progression. as the vocals come in, the track almost glides along with a dreamy atmosphere, perfectly complimenting Evan’s main vocal that creates a great contrast with it’s rough, ragged style.

boasting a fantastic singalong chorus, lyricism that creates such vivid imagery and real energy surrounding the track, it’s a fantastic debut single and really introduces the band in the best way possible. we also love the breakdown, bringing back in that lovely lead melody but expanding out to a fuller solo, without taking away from the laidback feel of the tune. well worth a listen!

you can find it on all the streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6Gf3FilMbk7EVi7fqba6Sx – well worth popping it in your indie chill playlists, fantastic tune.

Just The Crust 09/01/22: Kyle Toolan – Overcast 💥

9th Jan 20239th Jan 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new debut single from Kyletoolanmusic “Overcast”

a familiar face on the Manchester scene nowadays, Kyle has been performing across the city at gigs and open mics and making a name for himself, playing mellow indie-rock tunes influenced by artists such as The 1975 and Sam Fender – with a huge amount of original songs under his belt now too!

this debut single from him, “Overcast“, is a great introduction into his work. starting out with a grungey, droney guitar rhythm backed with a steady and maintained drumbeat and bassline, it flows super well throughout the track and the lead guitar adds a lovely contrast to the backdrop of the song, giving it a forward push throughout the track. Kyle’s vocal is restrained, almost conversational – but puts the focus on his lyricism which is personal, yet honest; showing the songwriting style he’s prolific within. the bridge is gorgeous too, balancing harmonies and breakdowns to give the track room to breathe, til it opens back up for the final chorus!

you can find the tune over on all the streaming platforms, or the full music video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/NfgKp4RJYqU – well worth a watch!

it sounds incredible, maintaining an upbeat atmosphere whilst still feeling laid-back and relaxed, his vocals sit real lovely on top of his acoustic guitar playing, and his lyricism is uplifting and so put together, real worth checking out this track! it’s a great indication of his talents and we can’t wait to hear more from him.

Just The Crust 26/12/22: michael webster – waterlines 🤘

26th Dec 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, michael webster, new music, release, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from our very own michael webster “waterlines“, taken from his EP “a northern perspective“!

the first single from the new EP, “waterlines” is a hard-hitting alternative rock tune about the difficulty of indecision set to a background of 90s’ grunge-inspired alternative rock. it’s a tune that you will have heard if you’ve been to any of his shows, having had it in the set for the past few years and finally putting it out in a studio version

with a chorus of “i wanna stay in, but i wanna go out.. just another dilemma of the nineties’ crowd”, it’s an introspective and bleak outlook at the state of 20-odd year olds today, those who yearn for a life of adventure yet also want to take time to bask in the solitude of their comfort. it’s one of our favourites from the new EP!

you can find the full music video over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/2DWjDPo3jIg – plus, the EP in it’s entirety of seven tracks is available on all the streaming sites too!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Stan Buckroyd “BABY STEPS“!

the follow-up to his previous single “GREY”, this is the title track of his upcoming EP – and it sounds proper huge. you can really hear the indie influence with elements of punk and even surf-rock with the lead guitar tone. it’s a lovely tune!

starting out in full force with a driving drumbeat, powerful guitar chords and a gorgeous guitar line, it’s a real great introduction to Stan’s music. his vocal takes command over the track as soon as it comes in, prompting the attention directly to his lyricism – and the chorus is great, a lovely hook that we’re sure will be sang right back at him at gigs and that. the breakdown is class too, really pushing the track to a more energetic feel that delves real well back into the latter part of the track.

from what this song has to offer, we can’t wait to hear more – in the meantime you can find it on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/0j2kniqVxaBqiN5vodPclq and all the streaming platforms! well worth a listen!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Manchester indie-rock outfit VALA “Don’t Think Twice (It’s Not Alright)!

we’ve been huge fans of these guys, with a fantastic back catalogue already behind them, they’ve made waves over the past few years in the North West, and they just played a headline gig over at The Deaf Institute

this new tune here only continues with their quality signature sound, woven sonic atmospheres drowned in ambience and laced with image-inducing songwriting and down to earth lyricism. it’s a gorgeous track, and as it opens up in the chorus it’s not only a great parallel to the calmness of the first verse, but brings you into a lovely catchy hook – one that we can imagine would be amazing live. we’re huge fans of the bridge too, what a buildup to the pre-chorus at the end.. some fantastic production on this tune as well.

you can find it on all streaming sites, or you can check out the full video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/tdtIc1wR9pQ – well worth a watch!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Shadows Of A Silhouette “Modern Age Blues“!

we had these guys perform for us back in October at the Grafton Arms and they absolutely smashed it, a massive set with the crowd in the palm of their hands and proper showed us that they’re easily ones to watch.

this new tune only adds to their fantastic repertoire of tunes, starting out with a gorgeous guitar melody and a huge singalong hook that would go down massively well at live gigs – the lyricism is on point, inducing imagery so well throughout their songwriting ability. as the track flows through the song, it’s such an inviting listen, mellow but so much going on throughout it and with such a lovely groove behind it as well.

it’s well worth a listen, such a fantastic tune – you can find it over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvdnHeveB7w for the full video, and it’s on all streaming sites as well!
