Four years of Tidal Wave! ☀️

today marks the FOUR YEAR anniversary of our first release with Alien Clouds – their debut album “Tidal Wave”! 🌊

we can’t believe it’s been so long since this came out – we remember working on it and producing it like it was yesterday! 😊 we’re so proud of this album, it’s a beautiful collection of songs that are so personal to AC and they’re so well written, it was an honour to be able to put this out! ❤️

you can find it on all streaming sites, or alternatively on our Bandcamp where you can buy it digital or on a CD! find it at https://alienclouds.bandcamp.com/album/tidal-wave 🍞

JCK headline at The Grafton! 🤘

we had a real mega one last Saturday for our headline gig at the Grafton Arms with JCK! ☀️

superb sets from all including Cal Walsh janelaceymusic and Johnny Braddock, they all smashed it. what a night! 😊 some of the best talent in Manchester and we had a real lovely turnout too, great to see people supporting it all 🤘

big love to everyone who came down and a big shout to our photographer Max for these amazing photos! 👊 got something pretty sick to announce next, keep your eyes peeled for it 🍞

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

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 25/04/22: Scatterchild – Staring Me Down🌛

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Scatterchild “Staring Me Down”, out this coming Friday 29th April! 👊

we’ve known Scatterchild for a good while now, having featured a bunch of their amazing releases on the website, caught them at plenty of gigs here in Manchester and even put them on a few lineups ourselves – they always put on a top show, with such energy, intimacy and power to their sets 🤘

this new tune only continues in a long line of brilliant releases from the indie-folk outfit, with beautiful melody lines throughout, and the track builds and builds throughout each verse to reach a huge chorus chock-full of vocal harmonies and such powerful lyricism from Jay – really proving his vocal ability in this track! ☀️

we love the bridge in this, dropping to create a real intimate connection with the listener, only to open back up to a huge chorus and ending off the track with a beautiful outro that just simply puts the song at ease. a really well-crafted track from the lads! 😊

head on over to https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/scatterchild/staring-me-down to pre-save the tune ahead of its release to catch it as soon as it’s out – or head to https://open.spotify.com/artist/29A7KCgDgjYYadLf0UPXIi to check out their full discography, well worth a listen to all their tracks! 💿
