the way that our open mics have been going lately at The Lass and the Grafton Arms have just been simply spellbinding – so busy, so many incredible talented artists and just a reyt lovely snapshot of the brilliant scene here in Manchester!
we’ll be starting up at 7 tonight as we’re expecting a real busy one – got some slots left for anyone who fancies it, go over and drop michael a message if you’d like to play!
we had a reyt fantastic one for our gig down at the Grafton Arms on Saturday 
amazing sets from all, including our headliner Nat Dempsey who smashed it, such a huge sound and pure tunes, and our supports Casinos Pat Gallagher and Laura Farrow were incredible as well! 
a big shout to everyone who came down, we had a packed out pub – absolutely brilliant to see. we’re so made up with how it was! we’ll be announcing some more gigs soon, keep your eyes peeled 
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from our very own Olivia Browse “Nevermind Valentine / Cliché”!
we absolutely love this double single, it really expands on Olivia’s genre-defying talent, going from britpop to grunge to hyperpop and still maintaining her signature style and sound – it’s full of energy and a real lovely valentine’s gift to us all
“Nevermind Valentine” is chock-full of distortion, walls of guitars reminiscent of 90’s grunge backed with electronic drums that really drive the track with their almost-industrial sound, and yet another lovely catchy chorus as we’re used to now from Liv – plus, real personal and relatable lyricism that really put the listeners in Olivia’s mindset, it’s yet another fantastic release from her which we’re so proud of to have here on the label 
the b-side “Cliché” is one she wrote about her partner, a real lovely testament to their relationship and such heartfelt lyrics throughout – yet another super lush chorus and with that crunchy guitar melody it sounds like it could be straight out of the 90’s alternative scene! 
plus the vocal harmonies throughout are so lovely and really give the track so much space to breathe, a real banger for you all to listen to.
a big shout to Shtum on the production, super work – and thanks to Zeth Hex for helping out too! every release just gets better and better. you can find it on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/4WukXPGi0jNTn4nMzWtBgt or available on all streaming sites so go and check it out
