Just The Crust 29/01/24: VALA – On The Getaway 🎶

29th Jan 202429th Jan 2024artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from VALA “On The Getaway“! 🥪

we caught them at The Deaf Institute at the end of last year and were blown away by their stage presence, the quality of their songs and their supreme musicianship – fantastic stuff. we’ve covered their previous releases a bunch and we’re always looking forward to hearing new tunes from them! 🙌

this new single sounds fantastic, taking a more lo-fi and pop sound to their music, whilst still maintaining their more indie/alternative origins – it’s a real laidback tune, with a lovely jazzy style guitar melody, waves of lead guitar enveloping the track and with a lovely mellow and conversationalist main vocal. it builds and builds throughout the tune superbly and culminates abruptly at the end – yet still making you want to go back and listen again! ☀️

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs – well worth listening to their full discography! 💫

Just The Crust 22/01/24: Big Hug – Cruellemonde De La Hi Fi 🥪

22nd Jan 202422nd Jan 2024artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Big Hug, “Cruellemonde De La Hi Fi“!

this new single is the first from their upcoming EP, and it sounds mega – they released their debut EP “Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time” last year to critical acclaim, and having performed across London and surrounding areas, they’re back with their brand new release!

the new track sounds mega, with an indulgence of 90’s alternative influence, punk and emo vibes and math rock inspirations. it’s in-your-face, loud and punchy, with a lovely rhythmic element behind it, a jolty and powerful groove – and gorgeous guitar melodies and tones lacing the atmosphere of the track, giving a luscious space for the main vocal to shine through, and with lyricism relative to today – about the struggle of 9-5 jobs, the routine and disillusionment of modern society. well worth a listen!

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, and it’s available to purchase on Bandcamp at https://bighugband.bandcamp.com/ – along with all their previous releases! well worth checking out their discography.
