we’ve got our August edition of The Wrap for you! 🤘 there’s been some absolutely fantastic tunes out over the past month and we’re stoked to be able to bring you some of our favourites! it’s so great to see everyone making moves – gigs, music and so much going on! check out our lil in-depth reviews below ☀️

Manchester-based alt-rockers We The North are back with their brand new single “Where is your God?” 🤘 Hard hitting riffs, huge drums, and an attitude to match, this is definitely one to blast out before a night out. Class stuff! [SPOTIFY]

Yorkshire rockers Blue Orchid Reaction are back with another banger – we’ve featured them before and love the energy within their music. “Sunset Claims” is another top single from them – with 70’s influence, lush guitar tones and some lovely songwriting, definitely worth checking out! [SPOTIFY]

New to the Manchester scene, Green Wire are definitely a band to keep your eyes on! With a first release like this, they’re sure to go places. Really lush vocals and band sounding proper tight, this is one for all the indie rock lovers out there. [SPOTIFY]

We know we’ve featured Szou before with this track, but this music video is bloody CLASS. A real homage to Manchester, and an absolutely fantastic tune. One to blast out before you go out – pop goodness, and the tune is produced so well. What a talent! Big shout to

on the video here, one of the best. We LOVE it! [SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE]

Singer-songwriter Holly Jenkinson is back with another absolutely lovely tune, “I Told You So”! With such warm guitar tones here, brilliant lyricism, and a fantastic vocal, absolutely unreal stuff. Definitely one to keep an eye on! Ps.. that drop into the band is absolutely beautiful. [SPOTIFY]

Absolutely beautiful chorusy guitar here from Ophelia for their debut single “Man on Mountain”. A real lush soundscape throughout the track, an absolutely top chorus – this tune ticks all the boxes for us. That distorted guitar riff too! Wow. Definitely ones to watch here! [SPOTIFY]

Manchester-based punks The Battery Farm are back with yet another massive tune “Roy Keane Isn’t Real”! Proper heavy and driving stuff from these guys, real punk ambassadors of the scene. Well class and so noisy! The video is proper great too, tongue in cheek laughs throughout, well worth a watch! [SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE]

Manchester indie rockers Not Ned are back with their new EP “Good Times”! Well worth a listen, you can tell these guys are jamming and having a laugh – that riff is proper lush and the band sounds proper tight. Lovely alt rock vibe to this – just great vibes all around here! [SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE]

Just The Crust 06/09/21: Millie Milner – It’ll Be Alright ☀️

6th Sep 20216th 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 Millie Milner Music “It’ll Be Alright”!

the fourth single from the Manchester-based songwriter, the single came out today! it’s a lovely reflective ballad about supporting a loved one throughout the trials and tribulations of the world out there hence the title!

the song is truly authentic and really gives you an insight into Millie’s world – each component of the track works so well, ranging from the piano melody to the guitar riffs throughout, and then Millie’s vocal is simply superb on this, with a lovely warm and inviting tone that is proper lush.

head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/05BLi7QGjChj1JN0eGeMII to find the track in full – we love it! going to be adding this to our own mellow playlists.
