We’ve been fooling with this post for awhile. We meant to do something like this a few weeks ago, but between school, work, the lack of a cohesive idea, and difficulty agreeing on what should be on the list, it got pushed back. But finally, here we are. There will be some omissions, there may […]

I can’t really be arsed to hunt down band biographical information anymore. Not sure if it’s the hip thing to not provide on one’s webpage, but it’s generally impossible to find for many bands anymore. Alas, this will be a short post. Local lads Eagulls play rough-edged garage/punk, and have quickly risen to the top […]

(Photo by Lucy Johnston) It’s fitting that This Many Boyfriends sound like they’re from Portland. What with Gary Jarman from The Cribs now residing there, and Ryan producing this single, they’ve further bridged the gap between Yorkshire and the American Northwest. It’s another great single this and it only ups the ante for the band’s […]

What a nice surprise to find in my inbox! It appears to be early days for China Rats, but this tune is quite good. If you’d like to hear more, visit their Soundcloud page. According to their PR, there’s a single in the pipeline sometime soon. For fans of The Crookes and The Heartbreaks

(Photo by Gini Sheader) Local group Hunting Bears, who have been knocking about for some time, were lucky enough to get a wee mention in the NME recently. Whilst “Dirty Projectors meets Bon Iver; with orchestral accompaniments” isn’t too far off from properly describing this five-piece, I reckon it doesn’t quite do them justice either. […]

The kind folks over at Philophobia sent this record over to us some time ago, and to be honest, I didn’t know what to make of it. St. Gregory Orange is a band I’d heard a lot about, but I’d never given them the time – and the first listen wasn’t promising. But as is […]

Whilst they began in West Yorkshire, Sketches has moved down to the capital like many other bands before them. We don’t fancy them any less, and in fact, we are quite excited about their impending debut album. We recently had a quick chat with the band about football (of course), life on the road, the […]

If you’ve yet to hear Gang of Four, then what are you waiting for? They’re not just a Yorkshire classic, they’re a band that made a worldwide impact. Starting in the late ’70s, they released two albums of stripped down punk mixed with dub and reggae before venturing into dance-punk and disco, which would eventually […]

Formed in 1988, The Edsel Auctioneer left an indelible footprint both locally and across the Atlantic. Whilst they’ve never reached the heights of some of the other bands from that era, like their mates the Pale Saints, the two albums they left us with remain well good listens. Both of their albums, Simmer and The […]

STREAM: “All The Crooked Scenes” This is shaping up to be a massive year for Ellen & the Escapades. They’ve just completed a run of dates hitting most corners of the country leading up to the release of their debut album, All The Crooked Scenes, on 16 April, which was funded by a successful Pledge […]
