REVIEW: Sleeping Together – Money & Nicotine 💥

we’re proper made up to be able to bring you this review of Sleeping Together‘s brand new single “Money & Nicotine” out today! ⚡️

back in August we covered their debut single “Summer Girl“, an infectious summery indie-pop anthem that has set them as ones to watch in the North West, getting coverage all over the place and really setting the bar for their releases. we proper loved it, a fantastic first tune from the lads, with gorgeous guitar melodies, catchy choruses and a massive sound to it.

they’ve returned with another belter, matching the energy and power of the first single and really setting them as a force to be reckoned with. touching on a heavier sound, especially in the second chorus, they’ve shown that they’re a versatile band who are able to utilise dynamics so well, but still having that jangly and upbeat element to their tunes.

the synth lines throughout the track compliment the bands’ guitar licks and Alex’s main vocal so well, giving a lovely balance of melodies that fuse together to keep the track flowing so well – the massive sound of the chorus as well, it’s an incredible testament to their talents. we’re huge fans of the songwriting here also, feeling like the track flowed flawlessly as it was being written, almost effortless lyricism but tells the story of the tune superbly. fantastic stuff!

you can find the track on all streaming sites, go and drop it a stream and add it to your pre-night out playlists – another feel-good anthem from these lads. we can’t wait to see how far they go with tunes like these! 🍞

Just The Crust 10/10/22: Lisa T – The Best Kept Secret ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “The Best Kept Secret” from one of our favourite americana-songwriters on the scene, Lisa T featuring Elaine Lennon Music🤘

we’ve covered Lisa’s music in the past and we’re huge fans of her music, blending a lovely country-americana sound with brilliant visual storytelling, really putting her full emotions into each song and delivering so well with every single release she’s put out so far ☀️

the track is laden with gorgeous piano runs, giving such a breathe of fresh air to the track – complimenting the lyrics so well, a real lovely outlook on life, giving a real positive feeling towards it all. as it progresses after the first chorus, the track expands out with so much instrumentation that only adds to the feel of the song. the violins, guitars and huge beat behind the track give a real apt backing to Lisa’s vocal here, so well produced! ⚡️ we love the guitar solo too, almost a call and response feel with the violin melodies, brilliantly done.

you can find the track in full over on Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/album/7mJteCGjtlVv3dN6htvyQA – available on all streaming sites as well. another fantastic release from Lisa! we can’t wait to see how far she goes with tunes like this. 😎

REVIEW: Green Wire – Upside Down, Inside Out 💥

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. 🍞

Just The Crust 12/09/22: Gideon Foster – Days of Gold ⚡️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Gideon FosterDays 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!

A year of Calendar Girl! 📆

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. ⚡️
