Just The Crust 28/11/22: Lynskey – kinda tastes like iron ⚡️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Lynskey – “kinda tastes like iron🤘

following the release of their debut EP last year, “Sales and Lettings“, they’ve returned with this new single, expanding out on their sound with bigger riffs, a huge energy behind their music and synthesisers to really create a push and groove behind them to create their unique “dance-punk” energy!

opening up the track with a near-metal expression, with riffs and power chords enveloping the atmosphere of the track, it flows through the first verse superbly, and with the pre-chorus giving a touch of fresh air – it then opens up into an energetic, chaotic chorus which gives a beautiful parallel direction to the rest of the track. this theme is echoed throughout the entire song, flowing in so many different directions yet still being expertly steered by the band, who are in control all the way through. 🤘 the use of synths really compliment their sound, and the dynamic of the vocal sounds fantastic in addition to it all!

you can find the single over on all streaming sites, or find the full video over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/V381IpT_qT0 – well worth checking out! 😎

Just The Crust 21/11/22 – George White – Up The England ⚽️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new debut single from George WhiteUp The England“! ☀️

we’ve had George perform for us a few times now and he always amazes us with his prolific songwriting, with catchy tunes and intrinsic lyrical ability, and his performances always go down a storm – a joy to watch live and a lovely chap! 😊

this is the first single from him, a brilliant introduction for listeners to his music – a modern-day anthem for this year’s footballing antics. with a singalong hook, a massive upbeat atmosphere surrounding the track and the strings complimenting the vocals super well, it’s a real lovely track full to the brim with a positive outlook and a touch to the nostalgia of the past world cup. well worth a listen over the sporting period! 😎

Just The Crust 19/09/22: Full Billy – All I Ever ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Preston’s own Full Billy “All I Ever”! 🤘

these guys have been making waves since they formed, we had them perform for us at our Toasted gig at the Grafton Arms and they smashed their set – proper talented chaps. ☀️

continuing from the huge sound of their debut single “Power Couple”, they’ve only expanded on their style of huge drums, powerful riffs and catchy, massive choruses – this new single sounds fantastic and we imagine it’s gonna be a belter live. 😎

it opens up with a massive wall of sound, lovely guitar riffs weaving their way around the rhythm section and then suddenly drops into an intimate and delicate verse that commands your attention – only to build so well with arpeggios, hard-hitting rhythm and suddenly exploding into the chorus with a wall of distortion that really forces its way into the forefront of the track. 😎 the bridge is laced with huge vocals, really showing off Joe’s vocal ability, before leading into a lovely melody-stricken outro that reinforces how tight these lads are as a band.

another incredible release for them, we can’t wait to hear even more from the band! you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1jfblnenN2GuVgEpD3Nacq… – also available on all streaming platforms!

A year of Calendar Girl! 📆

today also marks the ONE YEAR anniversary of “Calendar Girl” by Olivia Browse ft. Szou!! 🤘

this marked a *slight* change of pace for the label, putting out a brand new genre but we absolutely love the tune, and Olivia’s constant attitude of not being defined by a singular style or genre is one of the things we love most about her. ❤️ another in a fantastic line of releases from Liv! plus, Szou smashed the feature, it’s a proper banger oozing with talent. ⚡️

you can find it over on all the streaming sites, or check out the music video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuOnRZzGucM 🍞

Just The Crust 29/08/22: Hayden J Barlow – Night Combat 🗡

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Hayden J BarlowNight Combat” out this coming Thursday 1st Sept! ⚡️

we’ve covered plenty of Hayden’s music in the past and had him perform for us a bunch, an incredibly talented chap with so many tunes under his belt. it’s well worth catching him perform at a gig, his guitar work is incredible and with such a fantastic voice on him too. 👊

this new single has him delving into more punchy, rock-driven music yet with the lovely electronic production that we saw on his earlier releases – following the feel and atmosphere of his previous two singles “Breakaway” and “persona non grata” of which we loved both of them! ☀️ throughout the track the atmosphere is perfectly portrayed within his vocal delivery, really putting the listener in his shoes and relating so well.

the chorus is absolutely huge, with massive harmonies, distorted and autotuned backing vocals which only add to the massiveness of the track. a real testament to his production talent and musical ability – definitely one to check out, another in a long line of fantastic releases from him. 🤘

you can find the track on all streaming sites once it’s out on Thursday – in the meantime, head on over to https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/haydenjbarlow/night-combat to pre-save the tune!

Just The Crust 22/08/22: Mort Jardin – Dead Season ⚡️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new release from the Manchester grunge outfit Mort JardinDead Season“! 🤘

we’ve covered these guy’s previous releases a bunch now and we love their melodic, grungey tones that are present all the way through their tunes. their previous releases really set the tone for their music with introspective lyricism, monotonous vocals that really set the mood for their music. 🌛

this latest release sees them open up their sound somewhat, with some less distortion-y backdrops, yet still maintaining their original sound with huge guitar solos throughout and a real tight rhythmic background to tie the songs together! 👊 this is some of their best work yet, you can see the evolution of the band through their releases and this is well worth a listen for any fans of alternative and heavier tunes.

you can find the full release over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/2MIHIa5ESCsvlMWZGM6CfK – there’s also some lyric videos over on YouTube to have a gander at as well. great stuff!

Just The Crust 15/08/22: Jacob Reddy – Brand New ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the latest single from Jacob Reddy Music “Brand New”! ☀️ you could say it’s… brand new 😆

we’re huge fans of Jacob’s music, blending pop, indie and rock in such a unique way to create a top sound for himself – plus, having collaborated with Novustory on the last tune he’s going places and making waves! class stuff from the young Lancastrian lad. 🤘

this new tune expands on his sound, with a real fantastic knack to songwriting, being able to create a great hook whilst maintaining introspective and intricate lyricism that can really resonate with the listener. the upbeat nature of the track lends itself so well to the feel of the song, we can proper imagine this one being a great singalong one. 😊 the gang vocal in the final chorus also gives it such a pop-punk feel, showing so much inspiration to his music and how he’s able to take from different sources to create!

this one’s well worth a listen, it came out last Friday on the 12th of August, you can find it on all streaming sites including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0zQSLe1qdEkcdqf2mIlcud or if you subscribe to his YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/JacobReddyMusic we’re sure you may see a music video very soon 😎

Just The Crust 08/08/22: Blacksheeplad – Love Songs and Laments ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new album “Love Songs and Laments” from Blacksheeplad! 👊

we’ve covered Phil’s music a load now and his relaxed, introspective songs are lovely to listen to – many of his songs are about his personal experiences and it’s lovely to hear them! we’ve had him perform for us a few times and it’s always great to have him on. 😊

this new album, released through Wobbly Music, only expands on his great collection of songs – you can really hear the progression and evolution of his songwriting, with songs like the opener “Homeland” which is a calm and mellow tune about his childhood town, and then the eerie and haunting sound of “Pantomime” with violins and more of a full band sound behind Phil and his ukulele. 👊 it’s a real great listen and well worth checking out!
