MØ’s performance in the Stylus building last Wednesday was nothing short of average. I was not entirely underwhelmed by her singing, and I felt generally OK about the whole thing throughout. The crowd seemed to […]
Poliça @ Stylus, 14/10/16
Poliça clearly picked their support act FOG with careful consideration, knowing full well his synth beats and eerie echoing keyboard chords would fill the room with excitement. After an intense few songs, he quickly descended […]
In The Middle’s Hidden Gems- Lauren Rycroft and Cara Hammond @ 360 Club, 06/10/16
As far as undiscovered music goes, finding a truly new talent is as rare as getting struck by lightning. To find two in one night then, is like winning the lottery without buying a ticket. […]
NGOD @ The Wardrobe, 08/10/16
NGOD are an up and coming indie band from Bradford, who blend conventional indie with some heavier sounds, creating an alien mix. But it’s a good mix. The support band were decent, but they were […]
Brodka @ Leeds Beckett, 03/10/16
Floating onto stage with glittery cheeks and a Princess-Leia-esque jumpsuit, Polish singer Brodka managed to make Leeds Beckett Union shimmer with her stratospheric vocals and celestial aura. The crowd were lulled by the band’s starry synths, […]
Dead Meadow @ Belgrave Music Hall, 27/09/16
The American fuzzed-out, psychedelic stoner rock outfit played the Belgrave Hall last Tuesday to an audience of grooving bodies and dropped jaws. Despite relying on a fill-in drummer in place of Juan Londono, who unfortunately […]
Red Fang & Torche @ Stylus, 29/09/16
On last Thursday’s menu at Leeds stylus was a mighty fine blend of heavy metal and stoner rock ‘n’ roll, brought to you by two of the genre’s finest. Torche are aptly named, even though […]
Billie Marten @ Headrow House, 27/09/16
“Ah, circle time”, Billie Marten laughs as she sits down on stage and joins an audience whose legs were crossed around the edges of Headrow House’s fairy light-covered event space. It was a far cry […]
Benjamin Francis Leftwich @ The Wardrobe, 28/09/16
The Wardrobe in Leeds may not be the biggest venue, but what it lacks in size it makes up for with its intimate charm. Opening act Oliver Pinder set the mood for the evening with […]
Criolo @ Belgrave Music Hall 23/04/16
Despite being a prominent Hip-Hop figure in his native homeland of Brazil, there must have been slight apprehension on behalf of Criolo and his live band. Apprehension built in the fact that they were scheduled […]
Heir @ 360 Club 12/3/16
Playing to a sold out 360 club packed full of family, friends and fans, Heir’s launch of their debut EP When The Lights Went Out was certainly a night not to be missed. Bursting onto […]
The Strypes @ Belgrave Music Hall 10/3/16
On the 10th of March, Belgrave Music Hall hosted the Topman 24 tour in association with NME, headlined by small town Irish band, The Strypes. The band’s influences can be traced to early blues musicians […]
