we’ve been massive fans of these guys for a while now, having featured a fair bit of their music in the past and they only keep going from strength to strength with every release, showing their talent and versatility through all the tunes they put out โ˜€๏ธ

this new single “Plastic World” sounds absolutely top, maintaining their usual style but sounding slightly more lo-fi and relaxed – it’s got a lovely atmosphere of droney guitars and synths, the rhythm section really ties the whole track together too and keeps the groove, all whilst the main vocal commands control of the track and really lays the foundation for the story of the tune so well ๐Ÿ™Œ

what a chorus too! a massive singalong tune. we love the breakdown, and that guitar solo erupts into the track with such ferocity – absolutely stunning from the chaps. well worth a listen and we’re excited to see where the band goes from here! ๐Ÿ˜Š

with a fantastic string of singles already behind him, Matt’s returned with a brilliant new tune which only expands on his signature sound – incorporating new elements in, but still sticking to his usual indie-rock theme! ๐Ÿค˜

a proper tongue-in-cheek anthem for the working class, “The Cash” discusses the financial issues that people face nowadays, with a huge singalong chorus, fantastic harmonies from his band, and a driving rhythmic element throughout, it sounds fantastic. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Matthew’s vocal sounds great here, really adding to the sound of the tune – one to belt out on a summer day for sure.

the Liverpool-based songwriter has been hard at it lately, making waves on the Merseyside scene and expanding out to be a force to be reckoned with in the North West. โ˜€๏ธ we had him perform at one of our gigs last year, and he smashed his set – a proper talented chap!

this new tune which came out last Friday sounds absolutely boss, adding to an already super strong string of releases from himself – mixing aspects of indie-rock and singer-songwriter genres with a more mellow and relaxed atmosphere for this tune, it sounds real lovely. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

proper enjoyed the laidback and personal conversation aspect to this track, it feels proper intimate and really gives you an insight into Aaron’s lyrical style. the band behind him really open up his sound too, bringing a smoother edge to his music, and really compliments his style. ๐ŸŽถ plus, with a proper singalong chorus, we expect this one to go down a storm live! one of our favourites in Liverpool for sure.

Just The Crust 18/04/22: Jacob Reddy – Kings (Reloaded) ๐ŸŽธ

our Just The Crust feature today is the brand new single from Jacob Reddy Music “Kings (Reloaded)”! ๐Ÿ‘Š

we did an interview with Jacob previously as part of our Knead To Know feature and his approach to music and creativity is simply inspiring – a real lovely lad with so much talent! ๐Ÿ˜Š

this new single is a rework of one of his previous releases – that came out just as the lockdowns were implemented so he’s fancied redoing it and it sounds fantastic! you can really hear the Frank Turner inspiration in this but he’s kept it to his own sound really well ๐Ÿ‘Š a massive tune about growing up and keeping to your roots – so well written!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new album from Black Brunswicker “High Peaks”! โ˜€๏ธ

ever since we met Ethan, we’ve been in awe of his talent crafting soundscapes with his acoustic guitar through the use of pedals, and his gorgeous melodies and atmospheres really set him as a one of a kind here in Manchester. ๐Ÿ˜Š

his album here “High Peaks” is a beautiful collection of his music, it’s a really lovely experience listening through to it all, with a really peaceful and serene ambience to it – beautiful guitar melodies that seem to just float throughout the bars, and you can really see the time and effort he’s put into each of the tracks, a very well-crafted collection of tunes here. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Just The Crust 04/04/22: Chris Tavener – Right Back Again โ˜€๏ธ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Chris Tavener “Right Back Again” out now! โ˜€๏ธ

another in a long line of fantastic releases from Chris, this new single is sublime – with a touch of his usual witty lyricism and tongue in cheek style, he’s taking a slightly more serious note on this track, and he’s really crafted a lovely tune here! ๐Ÿ‘Š

resting on a bed of a lovely chord progression, his vocal seamlessly glides over the song, and the chorus sounds absolutely lush – we can imagine this to be a real singalong one over at gigs. ๐Ÿค˜ the relaxed soundscape behind the track is gorgeous too, with luscious lead guitar riffs and piano melodies that really compliment his vocal super well here.

it’s really nice to see the variety here, moving away from his comedic and witty style (which of course we love!) to a more serious note – a real talent being able to manoeuvre through songwriting like this. well worth giving this one a listen, you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Wqjp93HsOwxt4FyXQCYyY ๐Ÿ˜Š
