our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP “Vows To Boscobel” from Cinder 👊

over the past few months, they’ve been making waves on the Manchester music scene, having performed a load across the city, and releasing a run of fantastic singles prior to the release of this EP 🎶

the EP sounds fantastic, with a real mesh of influences in there, ranging from shoegaze to grunge to alternative rock – each of the tunes are great and there’s plenty of singalong choruses, anthemic sounds and luscious guitar riffs throughout, backed with a driving and tight rhythm section that create the perfect foundation for each of the tracks. there’s a real attitude and feeling to each of the tunes, each with their own identity yet maintaining a real connection throughout the full EP. it’s a great listen 🤝

you can find the EP in full on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/7siyZVNFlkqxv47a63SFwu – give it a spin 🎧

Just The Crust 23/09/24: Moss Valley – Beyond 🌙

23rd Sep 2024artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new debut single “Beyond” from Manchester grunge outfit Moss Valley 👊

we had them perform for us back in June and we were blown away by their set, so many fantastic tunes, such a great feel to their music and lovely chemistry between the members 🎶

this new single is an amazing debut offering from them, an explosive track right from the get-go, with a lovely grungey atmosphere present – so many different influences present and interacting in a real unique fashion. it drops away for the verse, a gorgeous space opening up for lead singer Zara’s vocal to soar over the backdrop, with introspective and intricate lyricism within each line. it’s a fantastic listen, and the dynamic throughout the track is second to none; the walls of sound and groove really ensuring that the track is worth putting on repeat. 🤘

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/53oSYNpqBUzXO2CgVL3pKs?si=u8ZEX_O5QZyMm52CZY7IvA – give it a listen, we can’t wait to hear more from them! 💿

our third act performing tomorrow at Band on the Wall is the one and only Anyone’s Ghost 💫

First appearing on the Manchester music scene in 2019, Anyone’s Ghost makes a large impact with a delicate sound, her solemn songs touching on themes of death, romance, mystery and murder. The solo project of local songwriter Wanda Roslyn, Anyone’s Ghost was born from the influence of dark folk and indie rock, encompassed in poetic lyricism and an affection for literature. Usually wielding an acoustic guitar and a multitude of effects pedals, Wanda is able to capture attention from the get-go with haunting vocals, melodic guitar work and a soundscape formed with intensity and emotion. 🌛
