20th Dec 202120th Dec 2021artist, 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 Superfriends “How To Live Life”!

the Brighton-based trio have been recording brand new music over the past year or so and this is their first release, put out just yesterday! we love the 90’s alternative influence in there, feeling like a mixture of Built To Spill with modern-day Courtney Barnett.

combining contemplative lyricism of future hopes, energetic rhythms, and restless breakdowns – they’ve really pushed the boat out for their first single, setting the scene for more releases on the horizon.. we can’t wait to hear more from them! great stuff and we can see them going far h

the Manchester-based outfit have put out a strong repertoire of singles over the past few years and this new tune shows just exactly what they can do with crunchy guitar riffs, huge drums and psychedelic vocals, “Leonine Lover” hits hard and is destined to leave you grooving.
