Just The Crust 27/09/21: Katie O’Malley – Devil’s Got A Hold ☀️

27th Sep 202127th Sep 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 Katie O’Malley “Devil’s Got A Hold”

we’ve known Katie for a long time now and with every release she only gets better and better! we loved the last few singles especially “Wild West” and “Taste The Dirt” and we’re absolutely blown away by how good this new tune is!

blending grungy, bluesy rock with her familiar country-esque singer-songwriter vibe, Katie and her band create a lovely gloomy atmosphere akin to PJ Harvey and Stevie Nicks the guitar work in this is absolutely gorgeous and Katie’s vocal sounds absolutely out of this world. the eruption into the chorus is massive – organs throughout are just lush, and it all fits perfectly together to give you a full on 70’s witchy nostalgia whilst maintaining that gorgeous sound that we’ve heard with all of Katie’s songs lately!

one of our favourite tunes lately, for sure! absolutely beautiful song. head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6okmBH0CynrW1oDQCaGjSQ to find the single in full (alongside her other releases)!

you can also get yourself ready for the full video premiere on the 6th October by heading to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YIo77j4tYM and setting a reminder for when it’s out! amazing stuff, definitely one to watch this year!

we had a well lovely one last night with Louis Phillips Charlotte Mary and Boxes down at The English Lounge last night for Freshly Sliced!

Louis started us off with a lovely acoustic chilled out set, some beautiful guitarwork from him and then we were followed up with Charotte’s amazing Americana tunes, accompanied by her stompbox which really brought a lovely atmosphere to her tracks (she played Man Up too, one of our favourites!) and then we finished up with David from Boxes who played us a lovely few covers, alongside some of Boxes’ beautiful songs – fantastic stuff last night!

Just The Crust 20/09/21: Faux Pas – This Will Kill You ✊

21st Sep 202121st Sep 2021artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for (yesterday’s!) Just The Crust is the amazing brand new tune from Faux Pas!

absolutely top tune – lovely distortion, noise, chaos with so much going on.. modern grungy-punk anthems with melodic riffs, feedback, Ru’s amazing and powerful, direct vocals.. a complete tune! love the atmosphere of the outro with the chorusy guitar and that little distorted tone.. just lush!

Faux Pas are definitely ones to watch. having already played at festivals and got national radio play, we’re sure they’re going to make their imprint in UK music with the release of their upcoming EP ‘I Feel Pretty, So Should You’!

Granfalloon – Positive Songs Teaser / Review ☀️

20th Sep 2021artist, bread, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

we’ve had a few technical issues today for our usual feature but not to worry, we’ll have it sorted for you this week!

in the meantime, we just wanted to highlight one of the top releases lately, Granfalloon‘s new album ‘Positive Songs’! we’ve featured a fair few of his tunes on the label but he’s put them all out on this album and it’s top!

think Beck, mixed with a bit of indie singer-songwriter magic with a dash of psychedelia – absolutely top stuff from songwriter Lomax. it’s well worth a listen! his lovely songwriting style with backing band behind him really takes his music to a new level, and it’s a real insight into the life of the creative. after the release of his second album ‘RGB’, Lomax was ready to hit up Europe on tours, had plenty of merch done, and suddenly a global pandemic hit.. this was the result of a weekly positive song-focused songwriting challenge he undertook! absolutely inspirational stuff!

head on over to https://granfalloonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/positive-songs to find the album in full to purchase either digitally or on CD – also all the singles are available to stream on all platforms as well if that’s your cuppa tea! well worth a listen!
