Just The Crust 01/11/21: David Shurr – Under The Hood ☀️

1st Nov 20211st Nov 2021artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new album from David Shurr “Under The Hood”! 🥪

a full-length album of twelve songs, this album truly shows off Shurr’s fantastic ability as a songwriter and an artist. 😊 blending psychedelic atmospheres with folky and indie genres, he’s able to create his own imprint on the musical scene and we love the relaxed and mellow vibes of it. 🤘

not only that, the production on the album is lovely, with expertly crafted soundscapes from the instrumentation, and Shurr’s vocals sound fantastic on this – brilliant work from all involved here. 🤠 from the relaxed and airy opener “Top To Bottom”, the album then evolves through songs like the acoustic ballad of “Never Grown” and then through to the bluesy “The Thread Connecting Us” 🌠 absolutely fantastic range of tunes whilst still maintaining his unique style.

head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/7o1E4iRz11Lb3hXha1SUr8 to find the album in full – give it a whirl, you won’t be disappointed! 🤘 also available to purchase on Bandcamp too!

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

27th Oct 202127th Oct 2021artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

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!

one of our favourites off the new EP is “I’ve Never Been To Gorton” – a proper tongue-in-cheek tune about the different areas of Manchester, with lovely guitar melodies throughout and huge choruses lead singer Ben’s vocal sounds great on this too, showing his prowess as a vocalist – well worth a listen

Just The Crust 11/10/21: Scatterchild – Tough Love ☀️

11th Oct 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 Scatterchild “Tough Love”!

we’ve been a fan of Scatterchild for a while now, with their beautiful piano melodies, lovely soundscapes, Jay’s fantastic vocal ability and top songwriting this new song is yet another in a long line of great releases!

a more touching subject with this song, it deals with the harder parts of a relationship and the emotion conveyed in this track is sublime building from the start, it really pushes through the feelings that they’re trying to portray and as it travels through the track, it builds up and up til the end where it explodes into a massive outburst of energy and raw feeling! what a tune!

well worth a listen, absolutely fantastic from the Manchester band. head over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/29A7KCgDgjYYadLf0UPXIi to check it out alongside their other releases, or head to YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO-mQd3er_4 to catch the fantastic music video they’ve done!
