Jungle @ Beacons Metro, Canal Mills, 2/11
“You’re f***ing amazing Leeds!” exclaimed Josh Lloyd-Watson, as the lights dimmed in the sweaty warehouse of Canal Mills. Indeed, Leeds is a pretty spectacular place to perform, giving audiences the chance to see some of […]
The Horrors @ Leeds Beckett Student Union 21.10.2017
“Are we holograms? Are we visions?” certainly rang true in the visual presentation of The Horrors’ headline gig. Amidst the smoky atmosphere and holographic lights, the band were only really visible as silhouettes and shadows, […]

Public Service Broadcasting, with their genre-bending sound that blends historical archives and music, and self-confessed position as “middle-class Londoners”, create a show unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed before. Short, fast-paced clips flicker on and off […]
