Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single from Scatterchild “Run Too Far“! 
We’ve been big fans of Scatterchild’s music since discovering him during the pandemic, with his intricately crafted tracks with such attention to detail – his headline for us at Cultplex earlier this month was phenomenal, a real indication of his talent.
After the release of his EP in November last year we’ve been waiting for new music from him and this doesn’t disappoint – setting the mood right from the get-go with a luscious guitar pattern, driving rhythm and a carefully-constructed soundscape behind him, his vocal is given plenty of room to shine through. His songwriting ability is on full display here, being able to convey such emotion through his lyrics, and being able to write a catchy hook without detracting from the purpose of the song, fantastic stuff. We’re always in awe of his intimate and raw lyrical talent
You can find the track on all streaming platforms, and the music video comes out on the 31st August at https://youtu.be/0KXssBDxeKY

Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Diago, “You“! 🙌
The second single from the North Eastern four-piece, they’ve been making their mark on the Northern scene ever since the release of their debut single “Wild” earlier this year, performing gigs and getting radio plays which is class to see! 👏
This new single “You” expands on their classic indie sound that they brought on their first release, with more dream-pop elements with the tones of the guitar and the laid-back feel of the track. The main vocal feels inviting, taking the listener into the song and allowing them to connect to the lyricism – plus, with an upbeat and singalong hook in the chorus, they’ve shown they can write a proper banger. ⚡ The atmosphere of the song throughout is lovely, really maintaining the feel all the way through the song with gorgeous production and vocal melodies lacing the track, and as it breaks down into the heavier section there’s a real energy behind it all! Fantastic stuff. 😊
You can find the track on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1SYhjAQTQSXbdX7ozdGblH – well worth checking out!

making a return to her original lo-fi indie sound, but with her modern bubblegum-pop production present throughout, Olivia’s soft and steady vocals on this track keep it on a real personal level, it discusses romanticisation of the past and the villainization of women in the media, yet presented in such an effortless style, as we’ve come to expect with Olivia’s intrinsic and expert songwriting style. produced by shtum, we love that every single time you go back and listen to the track you hear a new part of it, showing his talent and prowess as a producer! mixed + mastered by Parkridge Recording Company

here’s the brand new edition of The Wrap, for July 2023! there’s been so many incredible releases over the course of the last month, and here’s just a few of them that we’ve written up some reviews for – check them out below! ⬇️
We first heard of Alan Caruso with the release of his first few singles last year, and his lo-fi americana folk sound really sets him apart from the rest. He’s just released a brand new set of tracks, “Songs Are Spells” – these really encapsulate his tone, with some lovely tracks set to a moody backlight, with deadpan vocal deliverance, intricate lyricism and gorgeous guitar melodies lacing the tracks. The opening track is mellow, moody yet the second song “Not Innocent” is set to a driving rhythm, reminiscent of Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile. These songs are expertly put together, and well worth a listen! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
We’ve covered Tay Temple a whole bunch in the past, and she’s a great friend of the label, having played a plethora of gigs for us, and she’s returned with the next single “Sunglasses” from her upcoming EP! Opening the track with a grungey guitar pattern, feeling like 90’s riot grrrl scuzz, it’s a call to arms for anyone victimised by unwanted attention. With direct and pointed lyricism, she’s not pulling any punches on this one. The chorus makes way for her to become central stage, “Cause I see it all the time, things get dropped and pushed aside” – only to explode into a huge wall of sound, showing a grungier and heavier tone to her previous releases. The video is gorgeous as well, adding another layer to the impact of the song – well worth checking out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP / YOUTUBE)
Greater-Manchester alternative rock band Not Ned have just returned with a brand new EP “Not Gonna Sleep Tonight“! With huge guitar riffs throughout, driving rhythm and singalong choruses, they’ve expanded out on their original sound that we’ve come to see with their previous tunes. The opening track is an anthemic singalong, yet “Come Talk To Me” feels more 2000’s punk, showing their versatility in genre, an upbeat track with tongue-in-cheek lyricism throughout. With plenty of guitar solos throughout, driving basslines and huge drums, it’s well worth a listen! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
Hebden Bridge-based songwriter michael dollan just released his album “our own unique patch of sky” – a gorgeously crafted album laced with almost psychedelic-rock elements, weaving soundscapes around his songwriting and lyricism. Throughout the album, you can see the intricacy of his lyrics, touching on a range of topics and inspirations, from political events to his local environment, personal life and even more. The soundscapes of the album are placed so carefully, utilising the space incredibly to create a proper atmosphere that is unique to each track. It’s well worth checking out, a fantastic album! (APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP / YOUTUBE)
Dorothy Ella just dropped her new single “All You Say Is No“! After a string of quality releases over the past year or two, she’s been going from strength to strength – and this new track sounds fantastic! It’s a real upbeat, feel-good track, with elements of funk and all over it, and chock-full of luscious vocal harmonies and Dorothy’s vocal leads these perfectly. The song has a gorgeous sense of rhythm to it, holding a real groove throughout, and the instrumentation works in perfect unison to keep the vibe of the song flowing! We can’t wait to hear more, what a tune! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
Another of our favourites here on the Manchester music scene, Jimmy Page XI returns with his new song “Cataclysmic“! He’s been smashing it this year, with a bunch of great releases and really establishing himself as on to watch on the Manchester circuit – even since this release, he’s put out a live album as well! Opening up the track with a driving bassline, it sets up the feel of the song right from the get-go – it takes a slightly more heavier tone than his previous tracks, but still maintains his pop-stylings we’ve come to be familiar with; his lyricism is on point here, with a proper singalong chorus, and the production on the tracks is lovely, a great blend of instrumentation that only compliments the tune superbly. Well worth checking out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
We’ve been fans of Daisy Harris for a good while now, with her grungey, indie stylings creating a lovely backdrop for her delicate songwriting style – and this new tune “Backwoods” only exemplifies that! With a loose, droney guitar pattern forming the basis of the track, backed with a calm and relaxed drumbeat behind it, and echoey and spacey guitar riffs throughout the atmosphere, it gives Daisy a gorgeous space to deliver her lyrics over. Her lyricism here is almost deadpan, reminiscent of Courtney Barnett, 90’s alternative, and direct – it’s proper descriptive, intricate, and you can really see the feeling poured into the track. We’re huge fans of the ambience and spooky soundscape in the behind of the track, creating a real atmosphere to it! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP / YOUTUBE)
We’ve covered Shadows of a Silhouette a bunch in the past, they’ve played gigs for us and we’re stoked to hear their brand new single “Kickstart a Revolution“! They’ve just come back from playing the main stage at Y Not Festival, and with tracks like these you can really hear why. Gorgeous guitar tones are strewn around this track, with a luscious lead guitar melody that compliments the vocal harmony so well, and sets a lovely space for Nathan’s vocal to shine through. He controls the track expertly, almost having a conversation with the listener, a sure sign of a great songwriter. It’s a much more personal track from any of the previous ones, but still shows off their class and talent – well worth a listen! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)
it’s been another mega month of new music, with so many incredible releases, plenty to check out – here’s just a little taster of it all! a huge thanks to everyone for reading, and we hope you found something you loved! 🙌
