Our next episode of Grain Radio is out in a week! ๐๐
We’ve got some absolutely fantastic artists involved with this one – gonna be absolutely fantastic. โค๏ธ As always, a lush one, we’ve had some amazing ones in the past and we’re even looking at some new ventures for this radio ๐
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new track from Blacksheeplad – “She Makes Me Me”!
we’ve had Phil perform for us as part of our virtual open mic for a loong time now and he always plays us a lovely set! lovely songwriting, such personal and intricate lyrics on his tracks. His new track here is a lovely ode to love – and we really enjoy the full band instrumentation behind it all!
the track will be released this Friday, on the 30th April – it’ll be available over on Blacksheeplad’s Bandcamp page in the meantime, check out his other singles over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Pqy48o3FVvpwo4j3N0QvX
we’re looking forward to Thursday when he’ll be performing for us at our virtual open mic – hopefully we’ll catch a rendition of the new song ahead of the release on Friday!!
our very own Adam Carpenter Music just hit 1k streams on the title track ‘Obliterate Me’ from the EP we put out last May!!
it was super lush to work on this, such a prolific songwriter with some amazing tunes! hard to believe it’s almost been a year since it came out though
we can NOT believe how amazing Olivia Browse‘s new single ‘Red Stripe’ is doing!!
look at this. 2k streams in 4 days… how crazy!! super stoked for Olivia. we hope she’ll remember us when she’s famous a massive thank you to everyone who has been streaming it, and we just wanna say a huge well done to Liv for all of the work she’s been putting into this. what an inspiration
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the lovely new tune from Hayes & Y – “Empty Orchestra”! ๐
this song is a proper summery anthem, blending indie, pop and electronic elements to create a real lush tune that is perfect for a summery(ish!) day like today here in Manchester! ๐ฟ for fans of Two Door Cinema ClubNew Order and The National ๐ง
having played across Manchester pre-pandemic, Hayes & Y have been hard at work establishing themselves as a presence on the scene – their previous release, and this one really sets them apart as ones to watch! โ
we can’t wait to see what these guys have in store for us next. after listening to this tune, we definitely have to head over to their next gig and have a buncha fun as soon as we can! ๐ท

as always, you can find our Local Loaf playlist over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5FnabVHuYeT9Yp2s7GjeKY – drop it a follow to keep updated on all the new music from the scene here in and around Manchester!
