Just The Crust 26/06/23: HWY – Exit Love 🤘

26th Jun 202326th Jun 2023artist, 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 “Exit Love” from HWY!

we were massive fans of their first two singles, which really set them as ones to watch on the North West scene – we’ve also had them perform for us at our Toasted gigs and for Halloweezer and their live sets are extraordinary, with an incredible stage presence and a real ability to move a crowd

this new single sees them expand on their grungey sound, with gorgeous guitar melodies throughout which create a lovely soundscape and atmosphere for the track – the calm groove is a beautiful backdrop for the vocals to soar over, and Ryan’s vocal sounds spectacular here; maintaining control over the track and as it opens up to the chorus, his power and rage is only complimented by the instrumentation, a ferocious outburst of energy that we’ve come to see with all of HWY’s releases. the dynamic of this track is lush, there’s so much energy and restraint all at once – the breakdown is a serene breath of fresh air from the chaos and power of the rest of the track, and the guitar riffs are second to none. yet another incredible release from these guys!

you can find the tune on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/62rxtnfmc2zRNab1juIuFD – it’s well worth a listen, there’s a real special future in store for these guys.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new EP “I Love The Sound” from Manchester-based indie-pop outfit VALA

we’ve covered VALA a bunch in the past, and we love their dreamy, lofi-inspired indie tunes – their latest single back in December 2022 “Don’t Think Twice (It’s Not Alright)” was lovely!

they’ve returned with a full length release here, and it only proves their quality with an array of lovely tunes in addition to their previous singles, showing off their talent and ability to write luscious soundscapes, with careful and personal lyricism, whilst still maintaining the energy of the indie genre. these new tunes are laden with gorgeous synths and bring a more psychedelic element to their music, quality stuff!

The Wrap: May 2023 ✨

14th Jun 202314th Jun 2023artist, bread, local scene, new music, review, The Wrap1 Comment

there’s another feature inbound for us here, with our The Wrap feature for May 2023! ☀️ there’s been so many incredible releases out this past month, we’ve covered just a few of what have come out here – check out all the reviews below! ⬇️

Craig Lee and the Humblebees have returned with a brand new single “This Isn’t Paradise“! Maintaining his original 60’s rock and roll sound, there’s a lot more indie rock in this track – but his catchy singalong hooks are still in abundance here. A real summery anthem, this song sounds fantastic, his vocals shine through here and the rhythm of the track makes it feel super groovy. The vocal harmonies post-chorus are lovely, really tying the track together and the little break in the bridge gives the song a real breath of fresh air! It’s well worth a listen! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

We had Strawberry Lemonade perform for us back last year and they smashed it, amazing stuff, and they’re back with their new tune “You Told Me“! It kicks off in style with a huge guitar riff and a real power behind it – in the verse, the track falls away to give space for Cal’s vocal to take centre-stage. The chorus is full of passion and rage, and you can really tell that there’s so much emotion poured into this track. We can imagine this one will go off live, with so much energy behind it – fantastic stuff! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC)

We’re huge fans of Katie O’Malley and have covered her music so much in the past, so we’re super hyped for this new single “Come On Home“! It takes a much more relaxed approach than her previous singles, but the magic is still there. It’s a real delicate track, the country aspects give so much to it and it sounds incredible. Katie’s vocal sounds fantastic on this, a much more softer side of her singing and songwriting, which we love to see – it’s unreal that she’s able to be so versatile with it all. Yet another fantastic song under her belt, well worth checking out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP / YOUTUBE)

Jimmy Page has been making waves over the last year, we’ve had him perform a bunch for us and his progress has been incredible, plus such a lovely bloke. This new single “PAINT (I’m Through)” really shows off his songwriting ability, how he’s able to portray a story through his lyrics, a real catchy singalong tune as well! The groove of the track is splendid, the rhythm of the bass and drums working in tandem with the main guitar – plus the bridge goes hard, going all in to fall into a little bass solo, fantastic stuff! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

We caught Vespertines performing last year, and they blew us away with their energy and powerful set – they’ve just released their brand new EP “The Pretty Ones“! Chock-full of bangers, it shows off how they’ve really got a unique style and have harnessed their sound to get it to where they want to be. The groove of the bass and the drums throughout really create a gorgeous backdrop for the guitars to float over, and so much space for the main vocal to command. With gorgeous guitar riffs throughout, lyricism that is carefully crafted and a real chemistry between the band, it’s well worth checking out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC)

We had Shadows of a Silhouette perform for us last year and they were absolutely sensational, their stage presence was unreal, the way they could keep a crowd in the palm of their hands, and their on-stage chemistry between the band was fantastic to see. This new single “The Best of Me” only proves their talent even more, their songwriting ability, the ability to create a personal, intimate song that has so much style behind it and tells their story, it’s brilliant stuff. The flow of this song is superb, utilising dynamics so well throughout, it’s a beautiful track and well worth checking out. (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

One of our favourites Tay Temple returned with her brand new single “Ain’t Me” early last month! Opening up the track with a gorgeous, grungey atmosphere from the guitar tone, drum pattern, and bassline flowing behind Tay – her vocal commands the space flawlessly to pour her feelings out onto the track. As it transitions into the chorus, the intensity of the track increases massively, perfectly matching the lyricism – an outburst of rage and pure passion, you can feel the outpour of emotion in this song. The lead guitar licks from Jordi beautifully complement Tay’s vocal melody, and the bridge is a massive one, building and building so much into the gorgeous final chorus. It’s a lovely indication of the talent that Tay and her band have! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP / YOUTUBE)

We’ve had ByWednesday perform for us a bunch this year, and they kicked off May with the release of their brand new EP “Thursday“! We’ve been fans of a lot of these songs for a good while now, having heard them live and as singles and the full EP sounds fantastic! Laced with gorgeous guitar tones throughout, a lovely groove behind each and every track, and Conor’s lyrical ability in tow – it’s a fantastic first full release from these guys. They’ve been able to capture the feeling of their live performances exquisitely but enhancing it with that production shine, it’s well worth checking out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

it’s been another fantastic month of music here, it’s always so incredible to see a stream of continuous quality music coming out on the North West scene, and a big shout to everyone who has checked this out! ☀️ hope you enjoyed it!

Make sure you head on down to open mics, gigs, support local music and arts and keep your scenes going! 😊 all music, videos and images remain copyright of their respective owners. 🍞

Just The Crust 12/06/23: Faint Line – Red Tide ☀️

12th Jun 202312th Jun 2023artist, 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 Faint line “Red Tide“!

the Yorkshire-based duo have been making their mark on the national scene with a flurry of singles over the past year, and they’ve had significant radio play and racked up thousands of plays already, showing that they’re truly ones to watch on the alt-pop scene.

this new single “Red Tide” shows off their musical prowess superbly, with a driving bassline setting the scene for the track, with a gorgeous groove, soft and delicate piano chords over the top and a slick guitar melody that really decorate the soundscape beautifully. Lia’s vocal soars expertly over the track, sounding gorgeous and with a really intricate approach to songwriting, it’s definitely a track to spin on a summer’s day like today!

it’s available to listen to on all the streaming sites, or you can find the full video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shiwvWajIrQ – well worth a watch!
