REVIEW: Cottons – Second Hand Living Room ๐Ÿ‘Š


Manchester’s own Cottons have just released their brand new single “Second Hand Living Room“, an explosive return from the alternative-pop outfit ๐Ÿ’ฅ we’ve been huge fans of these guys for a long time now and their incredible back catalogue of releases sees another massive tune added to it!


We first had Cottons perform for us way back in 2019 or so, before the pandemic and they blew us away with their incredible stage energy, upbeat and catchy tunes, their ability to write an incredible hook and the innate chemistry within the band ๐Ÿค

You can really hear it in this new song, with gorgeous guitar melodies lacing the track – the tone is luscious, and paired with the synth lead it combines for an infectious upbeat feel!

The track has a fantastic groove behind it, with a drumbeat that feels not only confident and tight but has a real element of dynamic throughout, matching perfectly to the bassline – giving so much room within the track for the vocal to take centre stage!

It’s a real singalong tune, with the main vocal utilising a lovely melody throughout – plus, with a catchy chorus hook, intricate and descriptive lyricism, and the offset vocal melody of the second verse contrasting to the first; definitely a proper summer feel to this one! โ˜€๏ธ


you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms – it’s another incredible tune under their belt and we can’t wait to see where they go next! definitely worth checking out all of their tracks, we’ve covered their music a bunch; a fantastic band! ๐Ÿ™Œ


Just The Crust 20/05/24: LEASH – Restless ๐Ÿ‘Š

today’s feature for our Just The Crust is the brand new single from LEASHRestless“! ๐Ÿ™Œ

the Manchester noise-rock outfit have returned with a brand new single after their debut EP, and they’re back with an explosive track – energetic, grooving and pushing the barriers of genre, it’s an incredible tune ๐ŸŽถ

you can hear inspiration from so many areas, from post-punk to industrial to hip-hop, utilising as many elements at their disposal to really create something truly unique. the contrast between the calmness of the verses to the chaos of the breaks and choruses sets a frantic but luscious soundscape, and the vocals command the listener’s attention throughout – an incredible first release of the year for them! ๐Ÿค

it’s available to stream on all streaming platforms, and you can watch the full video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhWoxwoyIrs – well worth checking out! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
