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

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! ⚡️

Just The Crust 19/12/22: Stan Buckroyd – BABY STEPS ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Stan BuckroydBABY 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. 🙌

Just The Crust 05/12/22: Shadows of a Silhouette – Modern Age Blues ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Shadows Of A SilhouetteModern 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! 😊

Just The Crust 28/11/22: Lynskey – kinda tastes like iron ⚡️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Lynskey – “kinda tastes like iron🤘

following the release of their debut EP last year, “Sales and Lettings“, they’ve returned with this new single, expanding out on their sound with bigger riffs, a huge energy behind their music and synthesisers to really create a push and groove behind them to create their unique “dance-punk” energy!

opening up the track with a near-metal expression, with riffs and power chords enveloping the atmosphere of the track, it flows through the first verse superbly, and with the pre-chorus giving a touch of fresh air – it then opens up into an energetic, chaotic chorus which gives a beautiful parallel direction to the rest of the track. this theme is echoed throughout the entire song, flowing in so many different directions yet still being expertly steered by the band, who are in control all the way through. 🤘 the use of synths really compliment their sound, and the dynamic of the vocal sounds fantastic in addition to it all!

you can find the single over on all streaming sites, or find the full video over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/V381IpT_qT0 – well worth checking out! 😎

this is the first single from him, a brilliant introduction for listeners to his music – a modern-day anthem for this year’s footballing antics. with a singalong hook, a massive upbeat atmosphere surrounding the track and the strings complimenting the vocals super well, it’s a real lovely track full to the brim with a positive outlook and a touch to the nostalgia of the past world cup. well worth a listen over the sporting period! 😎

this new single “Built On Bones” only furthers his talent, with a real feel-good vibe from the get-go, opening up real mellow and calm as it opens up to a lovely chorus that feels super full with steady drums, driving bass and a real catchy hook that’ll have audiences singing along in no time. the track flows along so well, with a proper groove behind it, Craig’s vocal gliding over the instrumentation super well. it’s amassed nearly 7k streams so far, incredible to see and very well deserved! 🙌

another incredible release from the young lad, we’ve covered his music plenty of times now and he always excels with each tune he puts out – a real up-and-coming talent here in the North West. 🤘

this new single continues in his usual trend of heavy guitars, anthemic choruses and feel-good lyricism that inspires and uplifts. we’re huge fans of this new tune, it’s a lovely tune celebrating individuality and it sounds huge! the lyricism is on point as always, with gorgeous guitar melodies and riffs throughout, the choruses open up to a massive soundscape, and the breakdown before the final chorus is a lush contrast to the rest of the tune. ☀️

their second single so far, they’ve been establishing themselves around Manchester performing and wowing audiences especially with their headline gig over at the Eagle Inn the other week! we were a big fan of their debut single and this new one only further emphasises their talent ☀️

with a huge groove to the track, with crunchy distortion lining the rhythm of the drums and the bass, it’s got a lovely soundscape to the track – plus, Jordan’s vocal ability is in full scope here as he belts out, especially in the chorus, an anthemic hook that would be sung back at them at any gig. 😎 a gorgeous guitar solo too, culminating in a fantastic breakdown that gives a proper depth to the track.
