Manchester’s indie-rockers Green Wire put out their brand new single “Upside Down, Inside Out” earlier this month! ⚡️
we’ve covered their music a fair bit now here on the website, and we’re huge fans of their explosive energy, captivating riffs and class songwriting that’s come to define their songs. Their previous releases are an apt example of their talent, we especially love “Cigarettes on the Dancefloor” and “T-shirt & Jeans“, both feel like a nostalgic trip to our late teens, late nights out and getting drunk in nightclubs. 👊
this new single stays true to their sound, with huge guitar riffs leading the track in, accompanied by massive rhythm sections that really make the track explode! after the massive intro, it drops down and gives way for the story to be told, and the main vocal takes command of the track, directing your attention to it so well and the songwriting is as great as ever, a gorgeous depiction of the romantic interactions between people. as it opens up into the chorus it regains the ferocity of the intro, sounding huge and with a massive singalong hook that we’re sure will be belted back at the band at any live gigs. 🤘
the bridge gives the track so much room to breathe, utilising the power chords from the rhythm guitar to give the drums their time to shine, with so many class fills really showing off the talent in the band, you can tell each member is so in sync with one another and gel so well – absolutely fantastic to see. it finally reaches the closing point on a final huge rendition of the chorus, we’re sure this one’s gonna be a belter to catch at their gigs, another brill tune from these lads.
you can find it on all the streaming sites including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/7HviO4x9zeD0zpo9UsZhtC?si=TYSVFRY4SsWWZ5jhxrTMCw – it’s worth checking out all these guys’ tunes, great catalogue already with only a few singles out. 🍞
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Gideon Foster “Days of Gold“, out last Friday!
Gideon’s a great friend of ours, having performed for us plenty of times at gigs and open mics and he always gives it his all – with carefully constructed songs, such great songwriting embedded in them all and a real lovely chap – we’re huge fans of his songs, what a talent!
with already a top catalogue of tunes under his belt, he’s returned with this new single “Days of Gold” which only expands on his sound – we’re huge fans of the soundscaping enveloping the track, almost an eerie and unsettling intro until it opens up into the chorus with a real catchy hook; it’s a fantastic example of his songwriting ability.
it then feels almost like an indie-rock track with the drums providing an upbeat rhythm to it, giving the track an intensity that contrasts the earlier verse super well. the outro combines the two feelings of the track incredibly, keeping that faster tempo whilst maintaining some feel of eerieness to it – it’s such a well-crafted tune and one that Gideon should definitely be proud of having under his belt
you can find it over on all the streaming platforms, or check out the full video over on his YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pHIBupldD8 fantastic to see such quality coming out!

today also marks the ONE YEAR anniversary of “Calendar Girl” by Olivia Browse ft. Szou!!
this marked a *slight* change of pace for the label, putting out a brand new genre but we absolutely love the tune, and Olivia’s constant attitude of not being defined by a singular style or genre is one of the things we love most about her. 
another in a fantastic line of releases from Liv! plus, Szou smashed the feature, it’s a proper banger oozing with talent.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Andrew Bradley “Sleepwalking” which came out last week!
this is the first single from his new album and it sets the stage for it so beautifully – a really well-crafted song, so much detail in there, you can really tell how much care and attention has been put into every aspect of the song here.
the song starts with an indie-rock jangly feel, yet as it drops into the verse it becomes almost ethereal, with a huge dream-pop atmosphere with the spacey keys, Andrew’s vocal gliding softly across the top of the instruments and just a real lovely soundscape of gorgeous tones here. as it opens up, it shows the real sensitivity and intimacy conveyed by the lyrics and puts him as a songwriter who is able to not only conjure up fantastic imagery with his words, but also puts his feelings and emotions directly on his sleeve for the listener to connect with. 
we absolutely love this track, it’s a real pleasure to listen to and as we stated before, it’s been crafted so well, the production is on point – definitely a tune to pop on when you’re up for a nice relaxed time. not only that, we’ve heard the album in full as well, and you guys are in store for a gorgeous listen, so many fantastic tracks – easily a 4/5 star release from the North-East based songwriter.
you can find the single over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4ZfHFHGsVvhwLJxYR9E7Nu – give his page a like to keep up to date with the album and more from Andrew! well worth a listen to the full track.

we’ve got our next Knead To Know interview for you all with the amazing up-and-coming Manchester rock outfit Luna Marble! ⚡️
over the past year or so, they’ve been making waves performing across the city and dazzling audiences with their huge sound, belting riffs and incredible stage presence – we love their debut single “Running” and their latest tune “All of My Love” only shows off their talent and prowess even more!
you can find our full interview below! ⬇️
Hey guys! Thanks for doing this interview for us. Tell us a bit about yourselves!
We are Luna Marble, a 4 piece hard rock 70s-inspired band from Manchester! We have often been described to have anthemic, stadium-ready songs with big choruses, relentless riffs and hard-hitting grooves, although that is for you to decide!
How did you start the band?
Believe it or not Maria, our lead singer, had many of our songs already written and she was always in the hunt of the perfect band to bring them to life. David (bass) and Sean (Drums) went to the same university as Maria, and they had previously participated in different sessions recording/ performing ensembles together prior to our band. However it wasn’t until we met Dragos, our guitarist, that this formation happened to be. Maria and Dragos started hanging out at the beginning of the first lockdown and their shared passion for music led them to start jamming out and writing songs together. Eventually we asked David and Sean to have a jam with us and the rest is history….
We’ve seen you performing all across Manchester, what have been your favourite gigs?
We have to say that every time we have performed at Gullivers or Castle Hotel, it has been great! We are lucky as well to have very supportive friends and fan base that always bring a good party to our shows and it’s great to see how little by little our following keeps on growing making each gig very special for us!
What do you enjoy most about performing live? Is it the atmosphere, the crowd, getting to play some tunes?
Many things! It’s a combination of the excitement of finally sharing what we have been working on and the feedback from the crowd making us play harder and louder! It’s such a unique atmosphere, unique to the moment, and we are out there living out our dreams, we wouldn’t want to do anything else.
You’ve just released your second single “All Of My Love” – we love it, and your first one was also an absolute banger. Tell us a bit more about the tune!
As previously mentioned Maria had some of our songs written prior to the band. The riff came to her back when she was 17 and has been through so many arrangements and bands until our current formation. Dragos definitely took the riff and made it his own, combined with Sean and David’s solid grooves gave the song the right energy it needed.
The song is supposed to be empowering, with raging vocals and a playful instrumental releasing into big choruses, giving the perfect supercharged rock and roll anthem.
What are your main inspirations for your songs?
70s music from bands like Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac or Pink Floyd definitely play a big influence on us, especially in Maria’s approach to melodies, songwriting and arrangement. However, we all come from different backgrounds. Dragos coming from a more Prog-rock background makes his solos and rhythm playing up to virtuoso standards. Davids brings a lot of solid groovy bass lines and fills from bands like Royal Blood or Muse. And finally Sean’s hard-hitting drumming approach, from bands like Metallica.
…
How do you write? Do you take a group approach to it, or is it mostly one person who writes the songs?
Our writing dynamic has changed a lot during the time we have been a band. Maria had many unfinished ideas which she developed with Dragos, or Maria would pick on riff idea from Dragos and we would both sit and make a rough demo on Cubase, that we would later workshop in our band rehearsals. However as time has gone by we definitely jam together more and try to build a song from scratch all together, which makes the process more enjoyable and makes us closer as a band!
Where do you record? Have you got a home studio?
We were lucky that Maria was in the recording and production degree in uni, so we made most of our recording at uni, engineered by herself. However we are branching out to try different things and recently started working with Alex Miller who helps us in the process!
What do you think is the main thing that each of the band members bring to the table?
Each member brings their own unique qualities to the band. Maria is a very creative person, she comes up with all sorts of ideas for songs, arrangements, decorations for gigs, recording techniques and many more. More often than not the dynamic in the band is the boys putting together the ‘crazy frenzy’ of Maria’s ideas.
Where does the name “Luna Marble” come from?
Funnily enough it took us a good half a year to settle on a name… Dragos had in mind something to do with ‘marble’ because of it being a white rock he thought it would be appropriate for our rock style. Also its white colour suited a female fronted band he thought as well. Maria wanted to have some sort of cosmic reference in there as well and it was David who came up with the idea of using ‘luna’ (moon) as part of the name. We finally settled on Luna Marble after a long process of trial and error.
There’s a lot of classic rock within your tracks, but what kinds of other music inspire you?
Many more, as we said above Dragos grew up listening to a lot of prog and metal so there’s that influence (even if more subtle) and Sean loves his metal as well especially Metallica. There’s certainly a more modern influence as well coming from the big 4 grunge bands up until modern-day Muse and Royal Blood.
How was the single launch on the 17th August?
It was great, thank you! It was nice to put our own event at Gullivers again, and bring everyone together to celebrate a night full of great music! The support bands were incredible, we had a new set and a surprise guest on the organ. We couldn’t have asked for a better night and we got a bit creative with the stage, which looked amazing!
Is there anything else in the works?
There is always something else in the works! We have many songs already written and we are working on releasing as much of them as we can. However we have been toying with the idea of an Ep for a while… All I can stay is stay tuned into what we are up to because we are always pushing our creativity further and further….
it was brilliant to chat to the band here, we’ve been huge fans of their music since we heard their debut single, and their set for us over at The Grafton Arms during the summer for our Toasted night was absolutely breathtaking. ☀️ we’re sure that they’ll be making huge movements with the release of new music and more gigs – if you’re able to catch them live, it’s well worth it. a big thank you to them for partaking in this interview, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 🍞
