we can’t wait for this one, on the one-year anniversary of the release of “The Secret History“, a full band set from our very own Anyone’s Ghost, with support from the incredible talents of Manchester’s folk-punk outfit Arms & Hearts and with the amazing Elizabeth Owens coming all the way from Richmond, Virginia for us to open up the show with their magical music.
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Cottons “Laguna“, out this coming Friday 1st March! 🙌
we’ve covered Cottons a bunch before, and we love their indie-pop-esque styling, with so much inspiration put into their music. they performed for us back before the pandemic and have been going from strength to strength ever since! ☀️
their new single “Laguna” comes out this Friday, and it sounds fantastic – with such a luscious groove behind it, the rhythm working in perfect unison to create such a great sound. it gives such space for the vocal to take control over the track, making sure the listener hangs onto every word, a real lovely lyrical ability present in the track as well, almost like a conversation with a more deadpan and relaxed delivery. the guitar tone is gorgeous, being super dreamy and creating a great soundscape behind the track for it to open up so well in the chorus with a massive sound, and the synth-pop elements work so well with the rest of the track – a fantastic tune! 🎶
we’ll be kicking off from 1pm through til 5pm, with veggie/vegan food served all afternoon, quality drinks on tap and free live music – what’s not to love!
we’ve just got in a lovely order of these t-shirts for the Narwhals single “Unstitched“!
a personalised design from Jacob, frontman of Narwhals, and printed locally here in Manchester by Crooked Cartoon – a lovely design and only 15 available!
the brand new single “Bleep Test” from Scatterchild – available everywhere on the Monday 11th March 2024.
our first release with him, another incredible tune under his belt and a real pleasure to be working alongside such a motivated, committed and talented Manchester artist. we can’t wait for you guys to hear it!
we’re stoked to bring you another gig! we’ll be hosting the amazing Cal Murphy for a headline show here in Manchester at The Old Monkey on the Friday 8th March
we’ve had Cal perform a bunch for us over the past few years, and his comedic approach to songwriting, whilst still maintaining a real sense of professionalism, and intricate, thought-provoking lyrics set to an upbeat and energetic performance is always a joy to watch.
what an indication of the talent here in Manchester, with so many artists performing for us – so much original music and a really lovely community around to support one another!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Getner “White Walls“! 🎶
having been a strong presence on the Manchester scene for a while now, with shows at Manchester Academy, Rose & Monkey and more – they’ve established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, and their debut single only proves this even further. 👊
with high-octane, energetic ferocity throughout the whole track, and lead singer Quentin commanding the space with his powerful yet dynamic, intimate at times, vocals – lending the listener to hang onto his every word. there’s a real influence of blues in their music, but matched with no-nonsense rock and roll, they’ve truly created something that is unique yet so familiar and enticing to anyone who listens to their music. well worth a listen! 🎧
