6th Nov 20236th Nov 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for this week’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Tragicomics “Dinosaur“!

we’ve covered Tragicomics’ previous releases a bunch before, with a fantastic string of singles over the past few years they’ve been establishing themselves as a serious alternative country outfit on the North West scene – performing across Manchester and beyond showing their musical prowess on the stage.

this new single comes in at just over six minutes, and it’s a gorgeous tune, encompassing a range of varying emotions, atmospheres and feelings – a real rollercoaster throughout, the track builds and builds, from a mellow and intricate dark-folk ballad, laced with gorgeous violin melodies and lush guitar riffs – the flow of the track is consistent, balanced through the whole run of the track without feeling too forced or prompt. the changeup to the heavier, more alternative and psychedelic section of the tune is lovely, and gives a real force behind it, becoming energetic and conveying the meaning of the tune in a real ferocious manner. fantastic stuff!

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6qSVDNdpy6YW9kbm3gdf5C – well worth checking out

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Sixth Day “Say Hello“!

having only released their debut single “Kick Me Out” earlier this year, they’ve been garnering praise from across the North West, and sold out their debut headline at Gullivers over the summer, establishing themselves as serious ones-to-watch here in Manchester.

this new single only expands on their debut single’s infectious upbeat indie-rock musings, with singalong choruses, an unmistakably Northern tone and a ferocious energy behind their music. “Say Hello” sets them apart from the sea of new indie tunes, with effortless, conversational songwriting and lyricism, guitar melodies that lace the track beautifully, all parts coming together to create a proper lush tune that’s not only personal, but still upbeat and energetic.

you can find their music on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/3ea0rJJJlaTTjJjyhjUwkb – it’s well worth checking out and adding to your playlists

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Zara Smile, “Human”

based in Liverpool, Zara has been performing regularly across the city and out into the North West, having released their debut EP earlier this year, which garnered praise from a bunch of online publications, with the delicate and intricate sound proving their musical capability and ability to write songs that relay pure emotion.

this new single “Human” sounds incredible, with honest and raw lyricism about their experience with disassociation – with sounds akin to the likes of Laura Marling, Joni Mitchell and First Aid Kit. the melodies within the track are gorgeous, working perfectly in unison to create a lovely space for Zara’s vocal to excel in – and the vocal harmonies in the chorus are lush, adding to the flow of track. it’s a gorgeous raw and intimate track

you can find the track on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0zzqgVJD0zGnaoNBtslwQb – it’s well worth a listen! we can’t wait to hear more.

Just The Crust 16/10/23: James Wolf – Stargazing 🔭

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from James Wolf “Stargazing“!

we’ve known James for a good while now, with him performing for us regularly at our events and having had him play with his band at our last Cream of the Crop; his midwest-emo / 2000’s alternative-influenced sound is lovely and sets him apart as a songwriter.

this new single shows his lyrical prowess, but opens up his production technique and ability, taking a more electronic approach to his music – with dreamy synth lines, trap-inspired drum patterns and mellow and deep bass licks. the sonic atmosphere of this track is superb, creating a real elevated feel, and flowing incredibly throughout the chorus, a gorgeous contrast to the verses.

you can find the track in full on streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/16wFzGu9p3cQn0aohmqEHC – well worth a listen

The Wrap: September 2023 ✨

we’re back with our next edition of The Wrap – covering a bunch of our favourite releases from September! so much incredible music being released, you can find all of our in-depth reviews below ⬇️

Manchester’s indie-pop outfit VALA have returned with their brand new single “Bleed Together“! We’re huge fans of these guys, having reviewed a bunch of their previous releases and they’ve gone above and beyond with this new track. The synth elements are hugely more prominent in the track, giving it a much more ethereal, dream-pop styling, especially as it comes to the end of the track, it’s short and sweet but a must-listen for any fans of feel-good, indie-pop goodness. The track is held together with a tight rhythm, a lovely guitar pattern and delicate vocals. Well worth checking out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP / YOUTUBE)

Sheffield’s Kid Conventional put out this new single “Rambling Roses“, and it’s a gorgeous indication of his talent. Opening with a gorgeous guitar picking pattern, creating a lovely atmosphere from the get-go – and his vocal comes in, a lovely contrast to the clean guitarwork with his more rugged, gravelly tone. The harmonies in the chorus section elevate this track even more, creating a sense of calmness and serenity – and his lyrical capability is on full show here. It’s a lovely tune, and. we can’t wait to hear more from him – with his intricate and honest storytelling style, and carefully crafted songs. (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

We had Hannah Robinson perform for us earlier this year, and she was fantastic – blowing us away with her stage presence, songwriting excellence, and the musical capability and chemistry of her band. She’s returned with a brand new track, “Rosie“, which only proves her ability, a gorgeous tune laced with grungey elements, psychedelic guitar tones and intricate and delicate songwriting. There’s a real groove behind the track, with a driving bassline, flowing drums, and gorgeous guitar soundscaping – all setting the scene for her to excel in. She’s definitely one to watch, keep an eye out! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

Joel Gardner has been a staple of the North West songwriting scene for a good while now, with his storytelling capabilities, effortless guitar work and general loveliness keeping him at the forefront. He’s just put out a new single, “God & Star Signs“, which showcases all of these abilities superbly, it’s an absolutely gorgeous tune, and the flow of the track is insane, building so smoothly throughout, maintaining a lovely sense of calmness and building to a real singalong – his ability to write a song is incredible. The production on it is fantastic too, little elements coming in to keep the track going, it’s well worth a listen! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

We’ve been huge fans of Venus Grrrls for a good while now, having listened to their previous releases, their unmatched ferocity and energy is infectious and portrayed incredibly in their music. Their new single “Liar Liar” came out last month, and it’s quickly becoming one of our favourites – the contrast between the verses and the choruses are amazing, the soundscape and walls of sound in the hooks are huge; the balance of guitars and synthesisers creates a massive atmosphere that they utilise so well. Their ability to write a hook is fantastic, every song feels fresh and shows their musical and creative capabilities so well. We can’t wait to hear more! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP / YOUTUBE)

Sugarstone have been taking the North West by storm, we caught them last year and were blown away by their stage presence, their unique synth-punk energy, and their ability to hold an audience in the palm of their hand. We were huge fans of their previous releases, and this new single “Tender Hook” goes above and beyond. Their guitar riffs, matched with gorgeous synth sounds, huge drum patterns and driving basslines, prove that they’re ones to watch in the UK – and with each song touching on political and societal issues, the disconnect that one can feel – they’re sure to relate to a great many of people in today’s world. (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

DEAFDEAFDEAF have been tearing it up over the past few years here in Manchester, with their lovely post-punk, shoegazy sounds – they’ve cultivated themselves a sound that is not only energetic and raucous, but at times delicate and tender. This new single “City Song / Auto Love” is evident of that, with gorgeous drumwork, a solid foundation of bass and rhythm to create a lovely soundscape for the track, and then incredible guitar tones that ring loud throughout the entirety of the tracks, lead guitar riffs that lace the atmosphere – all giving the vocal ample space to command the songs. Two fantastic tunes! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / YOUTUBE)

Liverpool’s Leonie Jakobi marked September with the release of her EP “Nothing More To Say“! Right from the get-go, her vocal commands your attention on the first track “Bedroom Eyes“, a powerful, huge opener, filled with a gorgeous guitar tones, a massive rhythm section, all giving the ferocity needed for Leonie’s vocal to soar above. The EP is chock-full of these massive tracks, even the country-esque “Run Towards the Edge” has guitar tones, drumwork and vocal harmonies that create a gorgeous sonic atmosphere, incredible to hear. It’s well worth a listen, a fantastic EP! (SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / BANDCAMP / YOUTUBE)

another incredible month of music, with so many fantastic releases, and this is just a taste of what’s been out – there’s a whole plethora of talent! thanks to everyone who has checked this out! 🤘
