Just The Crust 25/10/21: Leopard Rays – Carried Away ☀️

our feature for this week’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from the North East’s Leopard Rays 🤘

their latest song, “Carried Away” is yet another strong single from the indie rock outfit. with lovely guitar licks throughout, driving drums and basslines, matched with a fantastic vocal and quality songwriting, the tune really echoes working class indie tunes of the 2000s 😎 it’s a no-nonsense banger that you can belt out at the top of your voice at a gig!

we love the build up to that huge outro chorus, dropping away and building up and up until the finale of the track – absolutely fantastic from these chaps! 🙌 definitely worth checking the rest of their singles out as well, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for them! 😊

head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0jpKPh1gpngGauHKDSDYVb/ to find their discography in full – give em a follow to keep up to date with all their tunes! 🥪 class stuff.
