Just The Crust 27/12/21: The Safe – Insomnia 🤘

27th Dec 202127th Dec 2021artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Insomnia” by thesafe.band

we’ve known about these guys for a while now, having heard a few demos and we love their indie-rock alternative vibe, with influences from alt rock and punk bands across the board! they’ve spent the last six months recording this and we can’t wait to hear the full thing.

since the end of the last lockdowns, they’ve been gigging across North Manchester and have been honing their craft – they’ve just recently done a gig over at Retro – 78 Sackville Street as well here in Manchester. well worth checking out next time they’re about!

the new single “Insomnia” drops on New Year’s Eve (this Friday!) so make sure you head on over to their Facebook page and give em a like to be the first to hear it! sounds great so far and we’re looking to catching it in full!

Just The Crust 20/12/21: Superfriends – How To Live Life ☀️

20th Dec 202120th Dec 2021artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Superfriends “How To Live Life”!

the Brighton-based trio have been recording brand new music over the past year or so and this is their first release, put out just yesterday! we love the 90’s alternative influence in there, feeling like a mixture of Built To Spill with modern-day Courtney Barnett.

combining contemplative lyricism of future hopes, energetic rhythms, and restless breakdowns – they’ve really pushed the boat out for their first single, setting the scene for more releases on the horizon.. we can’t wait to hear more from them! great stuff and we can see them going far h

ead on over to their Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0XlWOXNeueyorAceSHLbTg to check the single out in full, and alternatively the full music video is available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/yY_EWvMJMz4
