While walking down the track of Over Farm, the last thing you’d expect to come across is a festival which has boasted headline sets from the likes of Ed Sheeran and Ben Howard. The 1,500 capacity festival […]
Earth @ Brudenell Social Club 22/2
The genius of Earth doesn’t lie in its riffs, though they are abundant. Out of context there’s little to be excited by in the riffs themselves, they’re just riffs. Uncomplicated to a tee, accompanied by […]
Glass Animals @ Belgrave Music Hall 4/3
With pineapples and palm trees at the ready, Glass Animals entered the Belgrave with a tropicana agenda. The half hour delay only builds the suspense, but eventually the unmistakable tropical rainforest sounds of Glass Animals wash […]
Father John Misty @ Brudenell Social Club 27/02

Dope Body @ Brudenell Social Club 16/05
Dope Body return to the Brudenell Social Club with their brand of noise-rock after three years away. Judging by their reception, the Baltimore three piece have definitely been missed. Leeds staples Cowtown are a wonderfully […]

Drenge @ Brudenell Social Club 19/01/15
The two Loveless brothers announced late last year that they would be playing a couple of live shows in Leeds, Manchester and London to debut some new material. You might think this would mean a […]
Wild Beasts @ Canal Mills 11/12
When making the pilgrimage over the canal to that seemingly forever-dark corner of south Leeds, you kind of know what to expect from your night. It normally centres around depravity and hedonism. The taxi to […]
