Just The Crust 24/10/22: Kingfast – Feel The Love ☀️

24th Oct 202224th Oct 2022artist, 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 KingFast “Feel The Love“, out this Friday the 28th of October!

residing over in Liverpool, the soulful songwriter has been performing and making his mark across the city, with a slurry of fantastic singles under his belt and this new tune only goes to solidify his talent and capacity as an emerging artist in the North West.

the song starts out with a lovely, calm and controlled guitar riff that sets the basis for the entire song: a mellow, heartfelt ballad to a loved one. Kingfast’s vocal talent is on display here, showing his prowess and abilities in full. as it goes into the chorus, the groove of the talent shifts into top gear, balancing his vocal melodies above a lovely pop-infused beat that really makes the track feel like an upbeat, summery tune. the harmonies in the bridge are gorgeous too, a real lovely breakdown that contrasts the rest of the track so well and compliments it entirely.

the full track will be released on all streaming platforms come Friday, but in the meantime you can find it over on YouTube alongside a music video at https://youtu.be/Z821vvKW2es

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from IsaacNeilson “Tear This Down”!

we’re huge fans of Isaac’s music, having caught him live plenty of times now – performing for us as our feature artist at Foundry Project Manchester last week, and putting out a plethora of incredible tunes in the past.

we’ve been looking forward to the release of this song for ages now, one of our favourites to hear from him and it doesn’t disappoint! opening up with a lovely groove, the first verse slides through so well with a great build, til it explodes into the chorus – a real catchy hook as well! you can hear the time taken putting this song together also, expertly produced and with a great capture of Isaac’s energy that he puts in when he performs. the bridge is incredible as well – the tension and unease conveyed really gives the track room to breathe!

it’s well worth a listen – you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ocRRTaorsLc6UUwDBj5xQ and on all streaming platforms, pop on over and check out his full list of releases as well, brilliant stuff.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “The Best Kept Secret” from one of our favourite americana-songwriters on the scene, Lisa T featuring Elaine Lennon Music

we’ve covered Lisa’s music in the past and we’re huge fans of her music, blending a lovely country-americana sound with brilliant visual storytelling, really putting her full emotions into each song and delivering so well with every single release she’s put out so far

the track is laden with gorgeous piano runs, giving such a breathe of fresh air to the track – complimenting the lyrics so well, a real lovely outlook on life, giving a real positive feeling towards it all. as it progresses after the first chorus, the track expands out with so much instrumentation that only adds to the feel of the song. the violins, guitars and huge beat behind the track give a real apt backing to Lisa’s vocal here, so well produced! we love the guitar solo too, almost a call and response feel with the violin melodies, brilliantly done.

you can find the track in full over on Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/album/7mJteCGjtlVv3dN6htvyQA – available on all streaming sites as well. another fantastic release from Lisa! we can’t wait to see how far she goes with tunes like this.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new album from Pizza Crunch “That Serene Age“!

we’re massive fans of these guys, having covered their music plenty of times in the past and with each release they smash out a huge banger, always quality stuff. they’ve made waves across Scotland with their sound and this album only continues with that trend!

the album contains some of their previous singles, which we’ve had on repeat over the past few months including “Young Excitement” “Romanticised Past” and “Wilting Youth” but this full release really gels the tracks together, with the addition of some brilliant tunes that really compliment the singles, giving a real continuous identity to the release and expanding on their sound even more.

with luscious soundscaping and dreamy guitar riffs, they’ve managed to create a beautiful sounding tracklist that flows so well into each of the tunes, the atmospheric feel of “Insignificant” really flows so well into the contrast of the next track and this is a huge constant within the album. well worth a listen in full!

head on over to Spotify to find the album in full – it’s available on all streaming sites and there’s also some music videos on their YouTube! get on it

Just The Crust 26/09/22: The Battery Farm – Wooden Spoon Number ⚡️

26th Sep 202226th Sep 2022artist, 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 The Battery Farm “Wooden Spoon Number“!

another in a fantastic line of tunes from them – they’ve had so many unreal releases, we loved their album last year “Dirty Den’s March of Suffering“, full of huge riffs and anthemic tunes.

this new tune continues in their recognisable signature sound, opening with a huge rhythm section and a unique and familiar vocal from Benjamin – with his songwriting style shining through with the lyrics, a real great writer here and with a proper down to earth style from him. the synth line really brings the track together as well, really gels it all together superbly. the breakdown is massive as well, we can imagine that this would sound absolutely gigantic live!

you can find it on all streaming platforms – or catch the full music video over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB9yaa38RxA well worth a listen! another incredible release for them, we can’t wait to hear more.

Just The Crust 19/09/22: Full Billy – All I Ever ☀️

19th Sep 202219th Sep 2022artist, 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 Preston’s own Full Billy “All I Ever”!

these guys have been making waves since they formed, we had them perform for us at our Toasted gig at the Grafton Arms and they smashed their set – proper talented chaps.

continuing from the huge sound of their debut single “Power Couple”, they’ve only expanded on their style of huge drums, powerful riffs and catchy, massive choruses – this new single sounds fantastic and we imagine it’s gonna be a belter live.

it opens up with a massive wall of sound, lovely guitar riffs weaving their way around the rhythm section and then suddenly drops into an intimate and delicate verse that commands your attention – only to build so well with arpeggios, hard-hitting rhythm and suddenly exploding into the chorus with a wall of distortion that really forces its way into the forefront of the track. the bridge is laced with huge vocals, really showing off Joe’s vocal ability, before leading into a lovely melody-stricken outro that reinforces how tight these lads are as a band.

another incredible release for them, we can’t wait to hear even more from the band! you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1jfblnenN2GuVgEpD3Nacq… – also available on all streaming platforms!

Just The Crust 12/09/22: Gideon Foster – Days of Gold ⚡️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Gideon Foster “Days of Gold“, out last Friday!

Gideon’s a great friend of ours, having performed for us plenty of times at gigs and open mics and he always gives it his all – with carefully constructed songs, such great songwriting embedded in them all and a real lovely chap – we’re huge fans of his songs, what a talent!

with already a top catalogue of tunes under his belt, he’s returned with this new single “Days of Gold” which only expands on his sound – we’re huge fans of the soundscaping enveloping the track, almost an eerie and unsettling intro until it opens up into the chorus with a real catchy hook; it’s a fantastic example of his songwriting ability.

it then feels almost like an indie-rock track with the drums providing an upbeat rhythm to it, giving the track an intensity that contrasts the earlier verse super well. the outro combines the two feelings of the track incredibly, keeping that faster tempo whilst maintaining some feel of eerieness to it – it’s such a well-crafted tune and one that Gideon should definitely be proud of having under his belt

you can find it over on all the streaming platforms, or check out the full video over on his YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pHIBupldD8 fantastic to see such quality coming out!

Just The Crust 05/09/22: Andrew Bradley – Sleepwalking ☀️

5th Sep 20225th Sep 2022artist, 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 Andrew Bradley “Sleepwalking” which came out last week!

this is the first single from his new album and it sets the stage for it so beautifully – a really well-crafted song, so much detail in there, you can really tell how much care and attention has been put into every aspect of the song here.

the song starts with an indie-rock jangly feel, yet as it drops into the verse it becomes almost ethereal, with a huge dream-pop atmosphere with the spacey keys, Andrew’s vocal gliding softly across the top of the instruments and just a real lovely soundscape of gorgeous tones here. as it opens up, it shows the real sensitivity and intimacy conveyed by the lyrics and puts him as a songwriter who is able to not only conjure up fantastic imagery with his words, but also puts his feelings and emotions directly on his sleeve for the listener to connect with.

we absolutely love this track, it’s a real pleasure to listen to and as we stated before, it’s been crafted so well, the production is on point – definitely a tune to pop on when you’re up for a nice relaxed time. not only that, we’ve heard the album in full as well, and you guys are in store for a gorgeous listen, so many fantastic tracks – easily a 4/5 star release from the North-East based songwriter.

you can find the single over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4ZfHFHGsVvhwLJxYR9E7Nu – give his page a like to keep up to date with the album and more from Andrew! well worth a listen to the full track.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Hayden J Barlow “Night Combat” out this coming Thursday 1st Sept!

we’ve covered plenty of Hayden’s music in the past and had him perform for us a bunch, an incredibly talented chap with so many tunes under his belt. it’s well worth catching him perform at a gig, his guitar work is incredible and with such a fantastic voice on him too.

this new single has him delving into more punchy, rock-driven music yet with the lovely electronic production that we saw on his earlier releases – following the feel and atmosphere of his previous two singles “Breakaway” and “persona non grata” of which we loved both of them! throughout the track the atmosphere is perfectly portrayed within his vocal delivery, really putting the listener in his shoes and relating so well.

the chorus is absolutely huge, with massive harmonies, distorted and autotuned backing vocals which only add to the massiveness of the track. a real testament to his production talent and musical ability – definitely one to check out, another in a long line of fantastic releases from him.

you can find the track on all streaming sites once it’s out on Thursday – in the meantime, head on over to https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/haydenjbarlow/night-combat to pre-save the tune!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new release from the Manchester grunge outfit Mort Jardin “Dead Season“!

we’ve covered these guy’s previous releases a bunch now and we love their melodic, grungey tones that are present all the way through their tunes. their previous releases really set the tone for their music with introspective lyricism, monotonous vocals that really set the mood for their music.

this latest release sees them open up their sound somewhat, with some less distortion-y backdrops, yet still maintaining their original sound with huge guitar solos throughout and a real tight rhythmic background to tie the songs together! this is some of their best work yet, you can see the evolution of the band through their releases and this is well worth a listen for any fans of alternative and heavier tunes.

you can find the full release over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/2MIHIa5ESCsvlMWZGM6CfK – there’s also some lyric videos over on YouTube to have a gander at as well. great stuff!
