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!

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 ❤️‍🔥

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! 😊

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!!

Just The Crust 24/01/22: Cliché Cult – Say It Like You Mean It 🤘

24th Jan 202224th 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 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!

Just The Crust 17/01/22: HWY – Come Up 🙌

17th Jan 202217th Jan 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, video1 Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the debut single from Manchester-based alternative rockers HWY “Come Up”!

exploding onto the scene with this debut release, they’ve really started out on a high! blending elements of punk, grunge, and alternative rock, they’ve really created a gorgeous and unique sound for themselves. it’s a must-listen for any heavier fans out there, but we reckon it’ll suit fans of any genre!

with gorgeous guitar picking throughout the track, hard-hitting and driving drumbeats, and then a lovely lead vocal that moulds the track together so well and really paints a picture with the lyricism, it’s a fantastic tune. when the chorus comes in, it really ignites the power of the track, opening up to a huge sound. the breakdown of the track is super lush too, mellowing out the track into a final eruption of their metal and alternative rock influence, dropping seamlessly into double time and really throwing the tune into overdrive. absolutely fantastic stuff from these chaps!

you can find the track over on their Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/2vwjiY3CQUtVvwLaXewiB0 alongside other streaming platforms, or the full music video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQU_S6efB4c – well worth a watch, really well done. definitely one that they should be proud of and we can’t wait to hear more from them!

today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new single from Bonfire Tide “Elskan”!

returning after the success of their debut single, they’ve done a fantastic debut gig, had radio and playlists play their tunes, and now they’ve got another great tune under their belt.

with a gorgeous and soulful piano line, fantastic vocals comparable to the likes of The National and Bon Iver, the track sounds absolutely dreamy. sounding absolutely perfect for a rainy and calm day, or when you’re in the mood to unwind and relax the vocal harmonies throughout really bring the track to life, and the calming yet intricate instrumentation really shows the high calibre of musicianship throughout the band.

3rd Jan 20223rd 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 Rob Crampton Music “Rich Man’s Clothes”!

throughout the last year or so, Rob’s been putting out a great range of singles and this latest one is another fantastic one to add to his roster. recorded over at the amazing Sloe Flower Studio who are absolute magic

Rob’s amazing songwriting ability is super apparent throughout this track, really blending that old country/americana feel with a modern twist in his Manchester roots. a real mellow song predominantly led by finger-picked acoustic guitar, Rob’s vocal is soothing as he tells his story throughout the track.

this reminds of the old-school storytelling of the likes of Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and the classic folk heroes – with touching and relatable lyricism, we’re sure that Rob will be one to watch for the future. head on over to his Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1sfpo5adamTHrcmLRWmVuN to find his full discography, or head on to his YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRPdnH0m0FQ to check out the music video! fantastic stuff.
