Just The Crust 02/05/22: Dirt Royal – Shoot Me Now 👊

2nd May 20222nd May 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Shoot Me Now” from Brighton-based Dirt Royal!

their sound of high-octane rock n roll/indie is class, they have a real brilliant energy to their music – fantastic to see! they’ve already got a great following due to their previous releases and they’re well worth checking out.

this new tune continues with that energy, with a singalong chorus that we can only imagine would be belted back at them from crowds when they’re playing live, plus tongue-in-cheek lyricism pertaining to the current climate and even a lovely lil guitar solo in the middle – it’s a really well-done track with such simplicity to it but still sounding boss. definitely ones to watch!

head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1tWYCbWGmbZDPv4ZnliOox to check out the track in it’s entirety – their full discography sounds class too, well worth a listen to it all. you can also find the full video over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEQvQgLUbvI

Just The Crust 21/03/22: The Sewer Cats – Answer The Question 👊

21st Mar 202221st Mar 2022artist, 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 one of our favourites on the scene, The Sewer Cats with “Answer The Question”!

ever since we caught them live back in 2019 before the pandemic, and heard their debut EP “Zelda”, we’ve been massive fans of their ferocious energy, driving guitar riffs and no-nonsense lyrics they’re a force to be reckoned with live, one of the loudest bands we’ve heard and they’re only a two-piece! absolutely fantastic to see.

this latest single sees them continuing in this fashion, with luscious feedback and distortion everywhere, guitar riffs that really push the track forward and some of the angriest vocals that we’ve heard Cass do yet! really pouring the anger into this, it’s a real testament to the underground punk scene and a real declaration towards the actions of the government over the past few years. we absolutely love the breakdown too, the riffs and melodies accompany the drums and lovely fills so well and it’s definitely one to check out for anyone who loves a good bit of punk/riot grrrl tunes.

you can find the full video over on YouTube at https://youtu.be/16j9eEGBY8A – well worth a watch, it really delivers on the impact of the track and another fantastic release on the TNSrecords roster! you can also find the track on all streaming platforms as always!

Just The Crust 14/03/22: VALA – This Town ☀️

14th Mar 202214th Mar 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new tune from VALA “This Town”!

we’ve had VALA on our radar for a while now and they’ve put out some incredible releases, they’ve got such a lovely unique sound to their music and the Manchester-based band have only been going from strength to strength with each release and gig they’ve played – selling out shows across the country, how boss

this new tune is super lovely, a real indie-rock banger from the lads. the elements of lo-fi in the track really give it a personality and with lovely lyricism, a chorus that sticks in your head like glue, and string ensembles really complimenting the rest of the instruments, it’s one not to miss out on! we love the bridge too with that autotuned vocal, really gives the track an edge and brings it into a lovely breakdown. fantastic stuff from these guys and released with the class talents of Shoplifters Union!

you can find it on all streaming sites and that, on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs where you can also find the rest of their discography, and there’s a music video out soon on their YouTube! all going on, well worth a listen
