if you’ve got a new release lined up, are based in the North West of England and are looking for coverage, we’re always looking for new music to review! 🌠
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Better” from Zara Smile! 🌠
the Liverpool-based alt-rock songwriter has been making waves on the scene over the past few years, performing across some of the North West’s finest venues and releasing a run of incredible singles that really cemented their reputation as one to watch on the scene. 👊
this new single sounds super, and really shows off their lyrical ability, in creating a track that not only is raw, personal and honest, relaying real emotions, but also musically adept, with a real singalong anthemic chorus that’s backed by luscious 90’s-esque instrumentation that really give a driving force to the tune. it’s a lovely high-energy track that really utilises the production to enforce the topic of the tune, giving a sense of urgency and imbalance whilst maintaining a real down-to-earth sensibility of being honest with yourself. a fantastic track! 🌙
it’s been a week since the release of the latest single from Scatterchild “New Ocean (feat. Quentin Wylie)”⚡️
A big thank you to everyone who’s checked it out and supported the track – such a lovely reception to the release! You can purchase it directly for your own collection over on Bandcamp at https://scatterchild.bandcamp.com/album/new-ocean 💿
plus, we’re at HOME Mcr Arches tonight with a special show celebrating – it’s going to be a super evening with a performance and exhibition from Scatterchild alongside BETS and Tallulah Guard
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Better In Fiction” from Harrison Rimmer!
we’ve known Harrison for a long long time now, having hosted him at gig across Manchester, caught his debut album launch in York back in 2022 and covered his music a bunch
this new single is yet another fantastic tune under his belt, with his signature storytelling lyricism immediately on display, his ability to paint a picture with his words is second to none. there’s a gorgeous atmosphere in the track, with soaring guitars and instrumentation that elevate the song expertly, and as the build of the track continues, it flows almost effortlessly into each section, and the choruses are the trademark singalong that we’ve seen with his music in the past it’s yet another incredible single from the North-West singer-songwriter!
there’s only a week to go til we’re down at HOME Mcr with Scatterchild, with a special exhibition show celebrating the release of the new single “New Ocean”
