Just The Crust 21/03/22: The Sewer Cats – Answer The Question 👊

21st Mar 202221st Mar 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 one of our favourites on the scene, The Sewer Cats with “Answer The Question”!

ever since we caught them live back in 2019 before the pandemic, and heard their debut EP “Zelda”, we’ve been massive fans of their ferocious energy, driving guitar riffs and no-nonsense lyrics they’re a force to be reckoned with live, one of the loudest bands we’ve heard and they’re only a two-piece! absolutely fantastic to see.

this latest single sees them continuing in this fashion, with luscious feedback and distortion everywhere, guitar riffs that really push the track forward and some of the angriest vocals that we’ve heard Cass do yet! really pouring the anger into this, it’s a real testament to the underground punk scene and a real declaration towards the actions of the government over the past few years. we absolutely love the breakdown too, the riffs and melodies accompany the drums and lovely fills so well and it’s definitely one to check out for anyone who loves a good bit of punk/riot grrrl tunes.

you can find the full video over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/16j9eEGBY8A – well worth a watch, it really delivers on the impact of the track and another fantastic release on the TNSrecords roster! you can also find the track on all streaming platforms as always!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from VALA “This Town”!

we’ve had VALA on our radar for a while now and they’ve put out some incredible releases, they’ve got such a lovely unique sound to their music and the Manchester-based band have only been going from strength to strength with each release and gig they’ve played – selling out shows across the country, how boss

this new tune is super lovely, a real indie-rock banger from the lads. the elements of lo-fi in the track really give it a personality and with lovely lyricism, a chorus that sticks in your head like glue, and string ensembles really complimenting the rest of the instruments, it’s one not to miss out on! we love the bridge too with that autotuned vocal, really gives the track an edge and brings it into a lovely breakdown. fantastic stuff from these guys and released with the class talents of Shoplifters Union!

you can find it on all streaming sites and that, on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs where you can also find the rest of their discography, and there’s a music video out soon on their YouTube! all going on, well worth a listen

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from our very own Olivia Browse “Nevermind Valentine / Cliché”!

we absolutely love this double single, it really expands on Olivia’s genre-defying talent, going from britpop to grunge to hyperpop and still maintaining her signature style and sound – it’s full of energy and a real lovely valentine’s gift to us all

“Nevermind Valentine” is chock-full of distortion, walls of guitars reminiscent of 90’s grunge backed with electronic drums that really drive the track with their almost-industrial sound, and yet another lovely catchy chorus as we’re used to now from Liv – plus, real personal and relatable lyricism that really put the listeners in Olivia’s mindset, it’s yet another fantastic release from her which we’re so proud of to have here on the label

the b-side “Cliché” is one she wrote about her partner, a real lovely testament to their relationship and such heartfelt lyrics throughout – yet another super lush chorus and with that crunchy guitar melody it sounds like it could be straight out of the 90’s alternative scene! plus the vocal harmonies throughout are so lovely and really give the track so much space to breathe, a real banger for you all to listen to.

a big shout to Shtum on the production, super work – and thanks to Zeth Hex for helping out too! every release just gets better and better. you can find it on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/4WukXPGi0jNTn4nMzWtBgt or available on all streaming sites so go and check it out

21st Feb 202221st Feb 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 Minervadaisy “Something Strange”!

we’ve known Minni for a good while now, having featured her previous singles and had her perform at many of our gigs and she always excels! what a songwriter! each of her singles have been absolutely fantastic and this one only proves that even further.

with her usual melodic piano lines, haunting vocals and image-inducing storytelling, this new single sounds superb! we love the chorus, a real huge one that’s definitely a singalong. the band really add a new dimension to this track, really driving the song along and giving it so much space to flow – plus Minerva’s vocal sounds brilliant, with so much dynamic to it, going from calm to opening up to belting it out in the chorus, what a talent!

head on over to her Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GuTJ34qFjZ8bdSqhLCD9I to check the tune out in full, and have a gander at her previous releases which are also amazing! fantastic stuff. great to see so much brilliant music coming out lately!

Just The Crust 14/02/22: Jack Critchlow – Runaway ☀️

14th Feb 202214th Feb 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from Jack Critchlow “Runaway”!

Jack’s a singer-songwriter who has just moved here to Manchester from North Yorkshire and this is his latest single that came out earlier this week! he’s already got a wealth of music out on streaming platforms, having written since a young age and released music consistently over the past few years.

“Runaway” is a song blending indie with pop elements, almost dream-pop in parts, it sounds fantastic. his vocal effortlessly glides across the track, and we love the production on it, so minimalist yet sounding so great. the chorus is fantastic too, proper catchy and the lyrics are so personal and intimate, very apt for today being Valentines’ Day as well

we can’t wait to hear more from Jack, we’re sure he’s gonna be a force to be reckoned with and especially with more and more music of this calibre. head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/3E5qMpoEYsSXOPeTFzVS8q to check out his tunes – plenty for you to sink your teeth into!

Just The Crust 07/02/22: Novustory – Love Me Too ❤️‍🔥

7th Feb 20227th Feb 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, Uncategorized, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from the fantastic Novustory “Love Me Too”! 🤘

Novustory have been tearing it up over the past few years in the North West, putting out a continuous stream of incredible singles, performing at huge events and even keeping at it throughout the lockdowns with livestreams, videos and even more! 😎

their connection to their fanbase is one we absolutely adore, they’re always keeping their audience involved with their music and merch, showing a real love of the support that people give them. 🥰 well deserved too as they are all super talented and some of the hardest working people we know!!

this new single “Love Me Too” is yet another banger to their name, a hard-hitting tune discussing the toxicity of the music industry and the “need” to make it in today’s music business. 🎸 a real top alternative rock tune, with elements of metal, pop and everything in between, they’ve outdone themselves with this release!

Imogen’s vocals transcend above the track, bringing the listener into Novustory’s world, really making a connection and then exploding into a huge wall of sound in the chorus – brilliant stuff! lovely guitar arpeggios carry the track, along with a rhythm section that expertly drives the track forward and forward, and the breakdown before the final chorus really sets a scene of calm before the storm of that huge, massive last chorus. amazing stuff from these guys. 🤘

the track will be released this Friday 11th of February and we’re super stoked to be able to have had a sneak listen to it. 🥰 you can pre-save it over at https://smarturl.it/novustory_lovemetoo – well worth checking out all of their tunes on their YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/NovustoryOfficial or on streaming sites! 😊

Just The Crust 31/01/22: Harrison Rimmer – The End 🤘

31st Jan 202231st Jan 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 Harrison Rimmer “The End”! 🎸

yet another fantastic release from Harrison, a great friend of the label here and such a brilliant musician with so much energy and drive, an inspiration for us here on the scene! 😊 we’ve seen him live a fair few times over the last few months and every single time he smashes it, one to definitely catch at a gig!

this new single delves into more of the punk and metal inspiration for him, with driving riffs, angry and powerful vocals and just such a drive behind the track, really hammering home that he’s here to rock and roll 🤘 the chorus sounds so massive and great lyricism all the way through as we’ve got used to with Harrison’s songs!!

we’re huge fans of the outro and breakdown in this track too – moving away from the other folky rock tunes, going into almost metal with drum fills all over, melodic power chords building up and harmonic notes pulled out of nowhere.. it’s brilliant! 🏵 a real indication of Harrison’s diverse talent, going from folky singer songwriter vibes to full on punk and metal madness. what a talent!

make sure you head on over and check out the track in full – you can find it over on his Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1eJ8om60lDDNXsPujRvv6j or the full music video was released last week at https://youtu.be/hD1zM1gVZD4 😎 such a great talent on the North West scene!!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Cliché Cult “Say It Like You Mean It”, out this coming Friday 28th January

the Leeds-based alternative rockers have released a flurry of fantastic singles over the past year or two, and this is their first release of 2022 – they’ve had some fantastic tunes out in the past which have really set them as ones to watch in Yorkshire!

this new tune “Say It Like You Mean It” is a proper belter, with lovely guitar riffs driving the track forward, chorusey and ambient melodies throughout and boss vocal ability throughout, paired with lovely lyricism – it’s a real class tune to not miss out on if you’re a fan of indie, alternative or post-punk bands

we’re huge fans of the ending to the track, building and building keeping you in a state of suspense as the tune unravels and opens up – and the way that the bass and drums maintain the groove of the track whilst holding their own is class! a real well-crafted song, great to see this calibre of stuff coming out.

this tune will be released on this Friday 28th January – make sure you head over to their Spotify and drop em a follow at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wIIaLPfQvlqIFgGjD0lXA to be notified as soon as it drops! alternatively you can pre-save it at https://distrokid.com/…/clich…/say-it-like-you-mean-it-2 released on Shoplifters Union!
