we’ve got our brand new The Wrap feature for April 2023 for you all! ☀️ it’s been yet another incredible month of releases and we’ve covered just a fraction of what’s come out – check out all the reviews below! ⬇️
Grimsby’s Last Of The Wonder Kids have returned with their third single “Running With Scissors“, and it sounds fantastic! Energetic throughout, giving us vibes of 2000’s indie rock but adding a lovely touch of scuzzy punk to make a gorgeous tune. With a real powerful melody, in-your-face vocals and a proper attitude behind it, it’s a brilliant tune and is sure to put them on any ones-to-watch list. (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE / BANDCAMP)
Wigan’s indie rockers Flechettes have just put out their latest single “We Shall Find Out“! There’s a proper drive to this track, we can hear a lot of grungey and alternative rock influence in the back of it but it really stays true to that familiar Northern indie sound – a massive rhythm section helping the track flow gives so much space for the lovely guitar riffs that are present throughout, and the ferocity of the main vocal makes this a proper banger from these guys. Check it out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
We’ve covered Blue Orchid Reaction‘s music a bunch in the past and they’ve come back with a brand new single “Atmosphere“! It’s taken a slightly more relaxed approach compared to their previous releases, but it still sounds lovely – it’s got a lot of 90’s alternative and indie in there, yet with a lot of energy in the choruses to keep the track grooving along. We can hear a lot of The Jesus and The Mary Chain in this, or bands such as The Verve – it’s a lovely tune and we can’t wait to hear any more tunes they’ve got coming up! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE / BANDCAMP)
The debut single from Sara Rae “October” is a wonderful introduction to her music! It’s a gorgeous song, really well put together, we can hear a lot of folkier influences in it yet there’s elements of more mid-west emo with the guitar melody, a beautiful picking pattern that really balances and compliments her vocal – her lyricism is raw and honest, you can really feel the feeling and passion put into the song. The production is spot on – every instrument is perfectly placed within the track, it’s an incredible debut release. (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC)
A familiar face on the Manchester scene, Tallulah Guard has just put out their brand new single “Burn“! We’re huge fans of Tallulah’s music and this sounds incredible. We can hear a lot of 90’s alternative rock in it, with a lovely element of tension from the power chords and restrained drumwork, whilst Tallulah’s vocal soars effortlessly over the track, relaying their lyrics superbly and painting the picture of the song with a real eloquence. The build of the track in the second chorus is gorgeous and it going to a really stripped back feeling straight after is a beautiful contrast. It’s well worth a listen! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
We covered Luc Garrett‘s collaboration with Katie Elizaa back in February, and he’s just returned with his solo debut single “On My Mind“! It’s a beautiful track, it opens up with a gorgeous soundscape, with his wonderful vocal sounding amazing over the top, with his raw and personal lyricism shining through. The instrumentation gels together so well to create a lovely backdrop for him, and the use of vocal harmonies is perfectly placed to compliment his main vocal – plus, the piano solo is a real lovely touch to show off his ability! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
Manchester psych-rock outfit Strange Dream have just put out their second single “Miss Annie“! Giving us a real reminiscence of the early 90’s and late 80’s, this track sounds gorgeous – the guitar tones are superb, it creates a lovely sonic atmosphere, and the vocal glides over the top of it all so well, it’s a great track and really shows off the band’s ability. The dreamy elements of the track are perfect for a sunny day – well worth putting on during this warmer weather! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
We’ve had The Amber List perform for us before, and they’ve come back with a harder, more rock and roll sound in the form of their new single “Red Lines & Promises“! With a real energy behind the track, they’ve got a lovely tune under their belts here – we’re huge fans of their new sound. The lyricism throughout is fantastic, it’s a real depiction of their Northern roots – something we can relate to very well. Well worth checking out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from the amazing Bonfire Tide “Every Terrible Thing“!
they’ve been making waves this year, having just performed at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton last weekend, releasing their first single of 2023 “The Old Boys” and they’ve got a gig on this coming Friday supporting the amazing James Holt at Sacred Trinity Church! 
this new single sounds incredible, opening up with a gorgeous tapestry of sound that we’ve come to expect with their music – David’s main vocal sounds absolutely gorgeous over the track, his ability to control the softer aspects and then belt it out when necessary marks him as an exceptional vocalist. the soundscape behind him through the instrumentation is incredible, you can really hear the craft and effort put in by the band to really create something special. 
this is one of our favourite ones by them yet, and we can’t wait to hear more – you can find the music video in full over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/jy4DB7mm5cE or it’s on all the streaming platforms to listen! well worth checking out

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Bound In Chains” from the Birmingham-based songwriter Aurora Rays
right from the get-go, the track invites you in with a calm and steady piano melody, creating a sense of ease for Aurora’s vocal to sit perfectly above. her vocal capabilities are on full show here, sounding incredible – and as the track opens up into the chorus, the drums give it a real feel of urgency, complimenting the lyrical content here super well. in the latter part of the track, there’s a real gorgeous show of all the instrumentation working in tandem with one another to reflect the ferocity of the song, with a huge final chorus and a beautiful conclusion at the end.
it’s a proper gorgeous tune and you can find Aurora’s discography in full alongside this new song at https://open.spotify.com/artist/06RwNl3JbijMhGDSI1UK4d – well worth checking out.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Champagne On The Rocks UK “Golden Hour“!
we caught these guys live last year or so and were amazed by their energetic stage presence and slick lyrical ability, and their debut single “Malibu” sounds fantastic – this new tune only expands on their talent!
led by a lovely melodic guitar pattern, paired with a country-esque lead riff – it sets a gorgeous backdrop for the calm and composed main vocal to sit above. the relaxed atmosphere is a lovely breath of fresh air in a music scene that often relies on heavier elements to keep the energy going, and the lyricism on this is lovely, a real outburst of feeling and emotion. as the track progresses, the drums give it a new element of energy without taking away from the relaxed atmosphere of the track, and it sounds fantastic. well worth a listen!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Daniel Darley “To Feel Love Closer” out this Friday!
we’ve caught Daniel performing a bunch across Manchester over the course of the last year or so, and even had him on a few gigs ourselves – we were huge fans of his debut single “Faking” and his cool, calm and collected stage presence. 
this new song only shows off his talent, and captures his live atmosphere perfectly – laden with gorgeous vocalwork, and a beautiful soundscape behind him, it shows off not only his vocal ability, but his talent to be able to craft a beautiful song. the feeling of the track is relaxed, yet maintains an eerie state of tension throughout as it builds – and you can hear all sorts of influences in the track, yet it’s come to be something that Daniel can truly call his own. one of our favourites from him so far!
you can pre-save the track over at https://ffm.to/tofeellovecloser to get it in your libraries as soon as it’s out, and it’s well worth doing so, an incredible follow-up to his debut.

we’ve got our brand new The Wrap feature for March 2023 for you all ☀️ there’s been a fantastic bunch of releases over last month and here’s just a few of our favourites – check out all the reviews below! ⬇️
Another gorgeous new tune from Sam Scherdel, “Balloon” came out last month! He’s been making waves on the Northern music scene with his poetic songwriting, ability to convey a story in a unique manner – with influences from the likes of Bruce Springsteen and The Verve, he’s created a sound that is truly unique. Just from listening to the tracks, you can hear his passion for it – we’re huge fans of Sam’s, and this track only exemplifies his talent! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
We’ve loved Dr Fabola‘s music for a good while now, having covered a bunch of his previous tunes and having him on a few gigs over the past few years – this brand new tune “One More Time” is a gorgeous ballad, it’s caught the delicate and intimate manner of his live performances beautifully, and really shows off his songwriting style so well. His calm and collected musical style is fully on show here, and you can really connect with his lyricism, the production is spot on, and it’s a super lovely listen. (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE / BANDCAMP)
One of our very good friends here at the label, Tay Temple has released her brand new single “Still Here” – it’s a hard-hitting, direct banger that grips you in right from the start. We love this new almost-punky element that Tay’s been taking on, there’s so much attitude behind the track and her performance gives a real punch to the track. The ability of her band behind her only push her to new heights – you can hear the chemistry of them all throughout this track, with all the elements joining together perfectly to create a real anthem. Well worth a listen, and we can’t wait to hear even more from her! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE / BANDCAMP)
Greater Manchester-based grunge outfit Mort Jardin have made their return with a brand new album “Delay Decay“! It sounds fantastic from the get-go, with gorgeous guitar tones throughout, a beautiful soundscape crafted on each track, and a symphony of vocals that really elevate the tracks. There’s beautiful guitar melodies throughout it all, especially in the breakdowns – creating a real eerie sense in the build-up back to the choruses. Well worth a listen for any fans of heavier music out there! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE / BANDCAMP)
Jacob D. Edward is a songwriter from the Netherlands that we just had to include on this – his brand new release “Threshold” is chock-full of gorgeous tunes, a real joy to listen to for any fans of singer-songwriters or folkier acts. His storytelling throughout is exquisite, depicting his tales in such a personal and affectionate way – you can really tell he’s put a bunch of time into crafting these tracks. There’s gorgeous instrumentation surrounding him, all slotting in perfectly to compliment his songwriting ability. It’s well worth a listen, reminds us a lot of Conor Oberst & Bright Eyes! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC)
Indie-punks The Ruby Tuesdays dropped their latest EP – they’ve been making waves across Manchester over the past year or so and this EP is a bloody great show of why they’ve been doing so well. There’s a few singles on the EP that were released in the past, but we proper loved. The opener “Blacklight” is a HUGE anthemic tune, with a gorgeous guitar riff, massive sound behind it – a fantastic first track. This huge sound continues throughout the whole EP, it’s in-your-face unadulterated loud music that we just can’t get enough of. Incredible stuff from these guys, just so much energy throughout the whole EP – we love to see it! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE / BANDCAMP)
After hearing Evie Moran‘s first releases over the past few years, we were in love with her delicate sound and intricate songwriting, a real talent to keep an eye out for. She’s returned with this brand new track “How Do You Like Me Now?” and it sounds absolutely gorgeous. It’s taken a big step into the electronic circuit, but she’s proven with this tune that her talents are bound by no genre, it sounds fantastic – there’s a real groove to the track whilst maintaining her folkier roots, and the vocal harmonies throughout really give the song the aethereal elements that were present in her earlier songs. The production is spot on, it really compliments her style so well and we love this! Well worth a listen! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP)
Liverpool-based songwriter Kieo has returned with his second single “Happy To Lose My Mind“! With his debut hitting over 10k streams, this track really shows off his talent and proves the reason why he’s done so well. His lyricism is gorgeous, his ability to paint a story with his words is parallel to none and it’s a gorgeous track laden with synths and soundscapes that really compliment his vocal and the main acoustic track. His almost drone-y melody line on his vocal flows across the track super well, and you can hear touches of his accent throughout which we absolutely love to see. Well worth checking out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
it’s been an incredible start to the year for music in the North West, it’s brilliant to see such a stream of continuous and quality music coming out. big love to everyone for letting us showcase their music and to you guys for checking this out! 🤘
