our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Got To Lose” by Burnley-based indie outfit The Stride! 👊
following the release of their single “Hold On” last year, the band have gone from strength to strength, performing across the North West and beyond, taking their indie rock tunes with them and astounding audiences – reminiscent of 90’s Manchester vibes 💥
this new single opens up with a nostalgic guitar progression, backed with a real tight rhythm section that holds it together, giving plenty of room for the lead guitar melody to flow over the top – and the main vocal takes command immediately, it’s a real indie anthemic vibe to it with a singalong chorus and with a proper stadium rock feel 🙌
we’re delighted to announce the next single out on the label – “I Need To Swim (Demo)” from Eyam!
the second offering from our favourite bard, following his debut in January – this new track is a gorgeous, intimate track with Eyam’s signature quality lyrical ability present throughout, we’re super proud to get this one out
just a lil reminder that you can find all of our features over on our website, including our weekly Monday Just The Crust reviews, our monthly The Wrap feature and our weekly Local Loaf playlist! 🤝
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new debut album “Talk Of Being Saved” by Bonfire Tide! 💥
after a strong couple of years on the scene, performing at various prestigious venues across Manchester, releasing captivating and expertly-crafted singles, the five-piece have just released their debut album 💿
the album is a full-length debut, with a wide variety of tracks, ranging from the intimate and delicate nature of the opener “Atlantic“, to the more upbeat and folky “The Old Boys“, proving the range and dynamic that the band possess – with expert lyricism, the words paint a picture within each song, and the various instrumentation in each track really add to the imagery and vision that the band have for their music. there’s so much attention to detail within the entire album – it’s a fantastic listen! ☀️
