Just The Crust 09/11/26: snorkelling – cat’s eyes ๐ŸŽถ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new debut single “cat’s eyes” from snorkelling ๐Ÿ‘Š

the North-West based emo outfit have been performing all across Manchester over the past few months, making their mark on the scene and have just released this debut single ๐Ÿ’ฟ

the track sounds fantastic, with a real driving groove behind it, a ferocity and energy that’s right there from the get-go that gives the real impression that they’re out to give it their all. there’s a real sense of nostalgia in this track for mid-west emo vibes, but bringing a more modern, grunge-esque element to it, and with a proper sense of urgency from the rhythm, powerful vocals and descriptive, imaginative lyricism, they’ve surely set the scene for a successful future to come for themselves ๐Ÿ’ฅ

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including over at https://open.spotify.com/album/30B9G9rU0RLukecWNoM03p – well worth a listen! ๐ŸŽง
