we’re proper made up to be able to bring you the next of our On The Rise gigs over at Lions Den Manchester on the Saturday 14th January
there’s a real stellar lineup for this one, with some of the finest up-and-coming talent in the North West, including ByWednesday Civic Green Gallaher’s Green and Sour-Punch we’re well looking forward to this!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Lynskey – “kinda tastes like iron”
following the release of their debut EP last year, “Sales and Lettings“, they’ve returned with this new single, expanding out on their sound with bigger riffs, a huge energy behind their music and synthesisers to really create a push and groove behind them to create their unique “dance-punk” energy!
opening up the track with a near-metal expression, with riffs and power chords enveloping the atmosphere of the track, it flows through the first verse superbly, and with the pre-chorus giving a touch of fresh air – it then opens up into an energetic, chaotic chorus which gives a beautiful parallel direction to the rest of the track. this theme is echoed throughout the entire song, flowing in so many different directions yet still being expertly steered by the band, who are in control all the way through. the use of synths really compliment their sound, and the dynamic of the vocal sounds fantastic in addition to it all!
you can find the single over on all streaming sites, or find the full video over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/V381IpT_qT0 – well worth checking out!

In case you missed it, our latest Knead To Know interview with Gramms is a belter
They’ve been smashing it with their debut single “Shut Up A Second” and it was super lovely to chat to them about their inspirations, influences and more! Definitely one’s to watch here in Manchester
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from DRIAN “Dreaming“!
their second single so far, they’ve been establishing themselves around Manchester performing and wowing audiences especially with their headline gig over at the Eagle Inn the other week! we were a big fan of their debut single and this new one only further emphasises their talent
with a huge groove to the track, with crunchy distortion lining the rhythm of the drums and the bass, it’s got a lovely soundscape to the track – plus, Jordan’s vocal ability is in full scope here as he belts out, especially in the chorus, an anthemic hook that would be sung back at them at any gig. a gorgeous guitar solo too, culminating in a fantastic breakdown that gives a proper depth to the track.
there’s only a limited amount of early tickets left, we’re also doing pay what you can on the door (to help with the living cost situation we’re in) and fancy dress extremely encouraged! get tickets at https://fatso.ma/WvbV
we’re proper made up to be able to bring you this review of HWY‘s new single “Marionette“! 🤘
we had them perform back in July at The Grafton Arms as part of our Toasted night and they proper smashed it. with quality tunes, professional and striking stage presence, and the ability to keep the audience in the palm of their hand, it was an unreal event alongside Stray Weather and BARDS. amazing to see!
they’ve only continued on this with the new single “Marionette” – opening the track with a huge, jolty guitar riff that precedes a massive, in-your-face intro, showing off the individual talents within the band. as the vocal comes in, it commands the track and especially with that drop on the first line from the instrumentation, which then comes back with such ferocity and power. the pre-chorus creates such a contrast to the rest of the track that comes before it, with heavenly synth sounds, matched with a gorgeous vocal that sounds so delicate and intimate, only to open up to a massive chorus that is packed with so much passion, every instrument playing its part in unison and showing the talent and creativity that the band has to offer.
these two singles so far from HWY have been incredible, and have set a real standard for them – definitely one of the ones to watch here in the North West. check out their music over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/2vwjiY3CQUtVvwLaXewiB0 – well worth a listen! they’re also performing for us at Zombie Shack on the 27th for our Zombie Prom event with Thunder and the Giants and more! 🍞
we had an incredible time over at the Grafton Arms for our latest Toasted gig on Saturday
so so busy and it was absolute scenes – big love to Maxwell Varey Shadows Of A Silhouette and Quinn Eno for performing for us and smashing their sets. a great indication of the talent up North
tonight’s the night! we’re back on over at the Grafton Arms for our next Toasted night
we can’t wait for this one – we’ve got the amazing talents of Quinn Eno Shadows Of A Silhouette and Maxwell Varey performing for us! it’s gonna be a belter.
we’re well looking forward to this!
