Just The Crust 05/08/24: Lunar Sounds – Better Than This 🌙

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Leeds-based Lunar SoundsBetter Than This“! 👊

after performing at various venues across the UK over the past few years, and releasing a run of singles and EPs since 2016, they’re back with a brand new track that packs a punch right from the get-go! 💫

you can really hear the grunge, the riot-grrrl influence throughout this track – with luscious power chords, basslines and hard-hitting drums laying the foundation for the track, a main guitar riff that echoes throughout, adding tension and drive to the tune, and group vocals, harmonies that give a real energy to it all. it sounds fantastic, and with personal, impactful lyricism, it’s set them up as ones to watch for the year 🌜

📆: Bread On The Wall

Our final artist for Bread On The Wall, Scatterchild! 🥪

our final artist performing tonight at Band on the Wall for us is the inimitable Scatterchild 👊

described as high drama, emotionally intense, or sometimes as just ‘sad yelling’, their music is rife with detail, disarmingly honest writing, soaring vocals and textured arrangements akin to likes of Bowie, with the energy of Everything Everything and the thematic potency of Radiohead. 🎶

SCATTERCHILD is a project driven by staying true to its own vision of excellence, being ambitious beyond its station, and making sure that excitement permeates every song, regardless of it being a blindingly fast punk tune, or

a heartachingly solemn ballad. As aggressively memorable as their angular logo suggests, they always aim to go bolder, bigger, and meet the ambition they’re often praised for by fans and the press. 🌜

our third act performing tomorrow at Band on the Wall is the one and only Anyone’s Ghost 💫

First appearing on the Manchester music scene in 2019, Anyone’s Ghost makes a large impact with a delicate sound, her solemn songs touching on themes of death, romance, mystery and murder. The solo project of local songwriter Wanda Roslyn, Anyone’s Ghost was born from the influence of dark folk and indie rock, encompassed in poetic lyricism and an affection for literature. Usually wielding an acoustic guitar and a multitude of effects pedals, Wanda is able to capture attention from the get-go with haunting vocals, melodic guitar work and a soundscape formed with intensity and emotion. 🌛

you can get tickets at https://fatso.ma/Z7iR – don’t miss out on what’s to be a fantastic evening of live music 🍞

Our next act at Bread On The Wall, michael webster! 💫

our second artist performing this Saturday at Band on the Wall is our very own michael webster 🌜

A familiar face for many on the Manchester scene, michael’s songs are instantly recognisable by many across the region. Michael’s unique guitar-playing style, introspective lyricism, and his distinctly Northern-accented storytelling has gained him praise from his fans and peers, being compared to songwriters such as Courtney Barnett, Neil Young, Nirvana, and he has even been referred to as the “Lancastrian Bob Dylan” in the past. His unfaltering approach to writing is unapologetic, raw and personal. His individuality and identity make him a unique and essential part of the Manchester scene. 👊

Saturday 3rd August – 7pm doors // tickets are available at https://fatso.ma/Z7iR 🍞

Our first act at Bread On The Wall, Eyam 🌜

introducing our first act performing at Band on the Wall this Saturday, the inimitable Eyam 🙌

Through a melting pot of folk, rock, punk and classical influences, Eyam has quickly gained a formidable reputation as the bard of Manchester’s music scene. With epic song lengths, unconventional song structures, and visual lyricism, his work draws comparison to the likes of Neutral Milk Hotel, Joanna Newsom, and The Microphones. Eyam’s music takes the audience to a new world, exploring ideas of yearning, love, obsession, grief, fear, nature, and time. 🌜

Just The Crust 29/07/24: Harrison Rimmer – Tough Love 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Harrison RimmerTough Love“! 🤝

we’ve known Harrison for a long long time now and we love all of his tunes, his album “Larkholme” last year was sensational and it’s so great to hear a new tune from him! also – he’s one of our favourite live musicians, if you get the chance to see him don’t miss out 👊

this new single sounds fantastic, taking a more alternative-rock style compared to his previous tunes, with a grungey guitar lacing the atmosphere of the track – and a hard hitting drumbeat and bassline laying the foundation beautifully, for Harrison to take centre-stage with a personal and passionate story. it’s a lovely track, with a real emotion and feeling poured into it, exactly what we’ve come to expect with Harrison’s music 🌙

you can find the track on all streaming services, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZOqA4UuDGNdYM4OqXxqA9 – well worth checking out! 🎶
