Just The Crust 15/08/22: Jacob Reddy – Brand New ☀️

15th Aug 202215th Aug 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the latest single from Jacob Reddy Music “Brand New”! you could say it’s… brand new

we’re huge fans of Jacob’s music, blending pop, indie and rock in such a unique way to create a top sound for himself – plus, having collaborated with Novustory on the last tune he’s going places and making waves! class stuff from the young Lancastrian lad.

this new tune expands on his sound, with a real fantastic knack to songwriting, being able to create a great hook whilst maintaining introspective and intricate lyricism that can really resonate with the listener. the upbeat nature of the track lends itself so well to the feel of the song, we can proper imagine this one being a great singalong one. the gang vocal in the final chorus also gives it such a pop-punk feel, showing so much inspiration to his music and how he’s able to take from different sources to create!

this one’s well worth a listen, it came out last Friday on the 12th of August, you can find it on all streaming sites including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0zQSLe1qdEkcdqf2mIlcud or if you subscribe to his YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/JacobReddyMusic we’re sure you may see a music video very soon

Just The Crust 08/08/22: Blacksheeplad – Love Songs and Laments ☀️

8th Aug 20228th Aug 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 album “Love Songs and Laments” from Blacksheeplad!

we’ve covered Phil’s music a load now and his relaxed, introspective songs are lovely to listen to – many of his songs are about his personal experiences and it’s lovely to hear them! we’ve had him perform for us a few times and it’s always great to have him on.

this new album, released through Wobbly Music, only expands on his great collection of songs – you can really hear the progression and evolution of his songwriting, with songs like the opener “Homeland” which is a calm and mellow tune about his childhood town, and then the eerie and haunting sound of “Pantomime” with violins and more of a full band sound behind Phil and his ukulele. it’s a real great listen and well worth checking out!

you can find his music on all streaming sites – Spotify is at https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Pqy48o3FVvpwo4j3N0QvX… – and he’s also uploaded a load of acoustic videos to his YouTube in preparation for the release as well!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from RIVIA “Snake Hips“!

we’ve covered them plenty of times now, the Liverpool-based outfit are fantastic with a whole bunch of amazing tunes under their belt now – brilliant stuff from them each and every time!

this new tune came out on Friday, another from their upcoming EP “Scratching The Surface” and it’s true to their signature sound, huge riffs, such a drive throughout the track and great energy to it! opening up with a great groove to it, and erupting into a huge chorus that we can imagine would be absolutely massive live.

we love the breakdown in it, coming to such a soft and calm atmosphere before it explodes into that final chorus and outro that are so chaotic, really showing their talent and prowess throughout this song. sounds absolutely fantastic!

you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/3EEfUhV4RfvCOjBJOcMnv7 along with all of their previous releases, well worth checking out their discography, some brilliant tunes there!

Just The Crust 25/07/22: Granfalloon – Please Write Responsibly ✍️

25th Jul 202225th Jul 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 Granfalloon “Please Write Responsibly“!

we’re huge fans of Granfalloon, having covered plenty of his music in the past (his previous singles “Who You Are” and “Working On Your Own” are brilliant!) and we’ve caught him live loads now, a real talent with such fantastic performances – well worth seeing.

this new single we heard a little taster of at Sunday Best over at the Eagle Inn the other month, and the studio version captures the intimacy of it perfectly with a beautiful, ambient backdrop the tune to compliment the intricate guitar melody, it starts off blissfully, as his vocal comes in it sits so well above the soundscape – a deadpan delivery from Granfalloon entices the listener in and the lyrical quality here is unreal, you can really fall into his story here. written as an apology song, to someone who was hurt by the writing of one of his songs, it’s a beautiful piece which takes such talent to write.

you can find the full video over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0k39FFV9xw – or alternatively you can listen to it over on all streaming sites, just search for “Granfalloon”! we highly recommend listening to it in full. fantastic stuff as always from this chap!

Just The Crust 18/07/22: Walter Kocays – Observe, Don’t Try. ☀️

18th Jul 202218th Jul 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 Walter Kocays “Observe, Don’t Try.”

we’ve caught this fella perform a whole bunch of times on the Manchester scene now, frequenting bars and playing a few of our gigs too – he’s been making waves with his unique style of alternative-folk, blending in his Stoke accent and background to create truly lovely and unique songs that not only sound great, but lyrically are brilliant in that they really make you think about the topic he’s singing about.

the song starts off beautifully with his guitar accompanied by a eerie, soft violin lead – before his unique vocal pierces through and garners the listener’s attention. his voice is on point here, you can tell he’s put on his best form for this and sounds brilliant. the build of the track is fantastic too, literally all within his guitar and his vocal – so similar to his live performances! there’s even a little touch of what sounds like distortion when he’s belting it out, a real nice touch to enforce the ferocity of his vocal at that point.

the violins are a perfect addition to the track here, the descending melodies really throw so much weight behind it and flesh out the song so well, and as they build at the end, you’re entranced in them, perfectly balancing to Walter’s main vocal harmonising with them – a brilliant debut single from the chap here.

we really can’t wait to hear more after this, if you can, make sure you catch him live – a real force to be reckoned with. you can find the single over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Z6Xg4jjX5h0JjVpLqFSDm – give it a listen and see what you think!

Just The Crust 11/07/22: Superfriends – Blimpy Boy ☀️

11th Jul 202211th Jul 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 Superfriends “Blimpy Boy” out this coming Friday 15th July!

we’ve covered the first single from Superfriends “How To Live Life” which was a fantastic debut single from the indie-punk outfit, really setting the scene for their upbeat yet introspective tunes – with lovely and inspiring lyricism upon the backbone of feel-good rhythms and jangly guitar riffs.

this new single “Blimpy Boy” only continues on their sound, a tune about the emotions entailed within a break-up, but flipped around to be a much more feel-good and energetic tune! the lyricism is fantastic here, it’s done so well to turn a serious and emotion situation into a positive and reflective atmosphere. you can really hear how much the band gels with each other as well, sounding so tight throughout the whole song, giving each instrument room to breathe yet working perfectly in tandem with one another. a fantastic second release from these guys!

you can find the track on Spotify once it’s released on the 15th July, or if you’re a Bandcamp user you can listen to it in full now over at https://superfriendstheband.bandcamp.com/ – even purchase it for your listening pleasure for only £2, including a remix as well. well worth checking out and buying!

Just The Crust 04/07/22: The Seminals – All On You ☀️

4th Jul 20224th Jul 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the fantastic new single from The Seminals “All On You“! 🥖

following on from the release of their debut single “Peasants With Money“, they’ve come out with a no-nonsense track here that really puts them on the map as ones to watch for the future. 🤘 we love their indie-rock sound that takes from so many influences and genres, both of the singles so far have been boss!

exploding into the track with a huge guitar riff, it sounds huge from the get-go; and we love the massive energy of the track, so upbeat. the main vocal sounds amazing too, with that scouse touch in there to really show their roots! ⚡️ the chorus almost gives a massive contrast with the verse, having such a different feel to it and then suddenly pulling out a rude guitar solo before dropping back into the next verse. 😎

the energy of the tune only continues throughout, and the outro guitar solo has so much to it, really giving it a fresh breath of air – we can’t even imagine how mental this tune would sound live. might have to get them on for a gig at some point! 👊 keep your eyes out for these guys, two formidable tracks already and we can only imagine even more on the way!

Just The Crust 27/06/22: Wednesday’s Child – I Want You To Want Me ☀️

27th Jun 202227th Jun 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for Just The Crust today is the brand new single from Wednesday’s Child “I Want You To Want Me”!

we’ve covering the London-based outfit’s releases in the past, having put out a fantastic self-titled EP last year and we love their sound, encompassing a variety of genres to really put a stamp on their own sound. we especially loved the tune “Begin Again”, so well produced and put together with so many sounds in there, gorgeous harmonies and the such.

this new single only furthers upon their sound, showing such progress in their creativity – starting out with such a smooth and calming melody line on the guitar, and flowing seamlessly through to the verse. we love the lyricism here, conjuring up such vivid imagery and being so honest. suddenly it blows up into a chaotic canvas of the chorus; a complete contrast to the calm nature of the verse. so well done, it’s a brilliant change-up and really commands the attention of the listener! the build of the bridge too also, it’s so energetic and culminates in such a huge outro.

it’s a brilliant tune and another one in their amazing discography – you can find the full thing over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/2fkvo28Rkha3Q98wVxneDq and it’s well worth checking out their full discography!

Just The Crust 20/06/22: Nat Dempsey & the Near Strangers 🤘

20th Jun 202220th Jun 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Nat Dempsey & The Near Strangers “Run and Hide”!

we’ve known Nat for a long time now, and he’s got such a fantastic discography to his name – so many great singles that sound absolutely fantastic. a proper talent here in Manchester and one to definitely watch out for, especially for his live sets!

opening with a real groove to the track, the drums and bass in perfect sync with one another – it starts with Nat on an almost deadpan vocal, suddenly opening up to a more melodic vocal line and building and building with each instrument until the chorus which is just explosive.

his lyricism has only got better and better with each track, this song takes a real inspection upon the state of the world and the influence that different figures have and how they all seem to contradict each other, yet don’t… we love seeing the stories behind songs and their meanings and there’s so much to unpack in this one, we’ll let you figure it all out for yourself though

you can find the track in full over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/3tDE0L2aKbZmCJ2IfhcEiP… and on all streaming sites! give it a listen and check out his previous releases as well.

13th Jun 202214th Jun 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Blue Orchid Reaction “Personal Revolution”!

we’re a big fan of these lads and they’ve been putting out continuously fantastic release after release over the past few years and this is yet another standout single from them! we even may have a lineup that they’re playing but not too much about that yet

this new single sounds brilliant, they’ve stayed true to their signature sound that we’re used to – really loving the opening bassline and groove to the track, pushes it along so well and the guitar tones are super luscious. as it opens up towards the chorus the build is great, and it erupts with such intensity into the hook, brilliant to hear from these guys!
