things are in full swing now, Olivia is on at 6:45pm – tickets available at https://www.fatsoma.com/e/godzf8l1/neck-of-the-woods-festival-2023 
“Molotov“, the final single from the upcoming album “Necromancer” from Anyone’s Ghost is available to stream now! 
one of our favourites from the album, this track takes a real lighter tone in contrast to previous Anyone’s Ghost releases, with a cleaner and softer touch to the atmosphere of the track, with Wanda’s visual lyricism shining through here, putting across the tone of the song in expert fashion – produced by our very own michael webster, featuring pianowork and backing vocals from Scatterchild and co-produced by Max Macmillan.
you can find it on all streaming sites now, or you can purchase it for only £1 on Bandcamp at https://anyonesgh0st.bandcamp.com/album/molotov

after a long time, we’re back with our next Knead To Know interview, this time with the incredible Craig Lee and The Humblebees! 🥪
we’ve heard a bunch of great releases from Craig, and his music has been doing super well over the past few years, with his 60’s rock and roll-inspired sound mixed with indie rock and singer-songwriter influence, proving him as a real unique artist here in the North West. it’s real lovely to chat with him here, finding out more about his music and his creativity, you can find the full interview below! ⬇️
Hey mate, it’s great to have you here for our Knead To Know interview. What got you into doing music?
Some lads in my year did a few songs for a school talent show as a band and I thought I can do that. It was around the time of Arctic Monkeys first album, so they were a big influence too as I was about 14.
What inspires your sound? Who are some of your favourite artists?
I am massively influenced by the sound of retro rock’n’roll (Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, The Beatles) but also amazing poetic lyricists such as Bob Dylan, Frank Turner and Justin Young (The Vaccines). I try my best to mix the two…
Your new single “By Your Side” is out now – tell us a bit about it!
By Your Side is basically a song that says life is fine being on my own but it’s even better when I am with you. Soppy, I know.
How have you found the release so far? What are the highlights for you, with it?
It’s always great to hear from people on social media. I have had a few people message me to praise the song and to hear that from people I don’t know and have no reason to say it (other than that they love the tune) is a great feeling. One person even said it was one of their favourite songs period, which was madness.
What are your main inspirations for writing?
Seeing people dancing, hearing them sing the words back. It’s great when I hear a person’s favourite song of mine, as it’s always a different one and I am inspired by having more to add to that list.
What’s your process for creating music?
It varies. Sometimes I will hear somebody say a phrase and I will just laugh and make a mental note then go home and write a chorus using it. Other times I will challenge myself to write a certain bassline, or to write a song to incorporate a key change or simply strum and hum until something catchy comes along (wow that sounded ruder than I meant it).
Have you been gigging over the past few months? How is it?
In all honesty (when it comes to originals) not as much as I had hoped. Any bands looking for a support or wanting to put a show on, give me a shout.
Do you record in a studio or do you have a personal home studio?
I record at Vibe Studios in Cheetham Hill with producer (and quiet magician) Dean Glover. He filters my mad ideas and up to now, he has always got it right when bringing the songs to what I have in my head.
Have you got anything coming up in 2023 we should know about?
I am supporting The Dunwells in July and also Chris Helm (The Seahorses) in October. Both are in Oldham and are very exciting opportunities.
we always love writing these up, and finding out more about each artist’s inspirations, their creative processes and the journey that they’ve been on, it’s unique to every act! if you’ve not heard it yet, it’s well worth checking out his new single, another class tune under his belt. a big thank you to Craig for letting us interview him – and thank you all for checking it out! 🍞

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Shadows Of A Silhouette “My Hunny“! 
we’re huge fans of these guys, having covered their music a bunch in the past and even having them perform for us last year as part of our gigs down at the Grafton Arms
this new tune is a feel-good anthem, still in the indie dimension of their previous tunes but you can really hear the more mellow elements shine through. with exquisite and intense lyricism, you can really hear the passion put into their music – the instrumentation behind it ties it all together so well, with the drums providing a gorgeous rhythm to the track, the loose guitar pattern and driving bassline creating a real groove and the lead guitar giving a lovely final touch to the track. another banger under the belt for these guys! 
you can find it on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6EuOHKKHN8mLHVwlKli6zE – well worth checking out! make sure you get the chance to see these guys live, incredible stage presence!
