Just The Crust 09/05/22: Stone Mile – Settle Down 👊

9th May 20229th May 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 Stone Mile “Settle Down”!

following the success of their debut single earlier this year, Stone Mile have returned with yet another huge sounding track – chock-full of lovely lead guitar riffs and explosive energy! their no-nonsense alternative rock sound really shows their class, and with gorgeous lead vocals throughout the track, they’ve created a proper banger here.

they’ve just played over at Night People and we’re seriously looking forward to seeing where these guys go now, they’ve got a real lovely vibe to their tracks and you can really tell that these guys gel so well with each other, their sound is super tight and flows smoothly throughout the length of the tracks.

check out the full tune over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/2OMsrshQGat9YaX1rn2G40 – well worth a listen to both of their singles too, definitely ones to watch here on the Manchester scene!
