When I heard that Kate Nash was playing Leeds, I didn’t expect there to be much of a turn out for the London lass made famous for ‘Foundations’. Yet even before the support band, Leeds […]
White Lies @ Stylus, 30/11/16
A couple of weeks ago, White Lies played here at the Union as part of their UK tour; a spectacular gig that cemented the band’s latest music in fans’ hearts with the same adoration as […]
NAO @ Stylus, 27/10/16
Electronic R&B has arguably become one of the buzziest genres around right now. Artists like FKA twigs and The Weeknd have melded the squeaks and squelches of electronic music with R&B, securing the adoration of […]
Dinosaur Jr @ Stylus, 26/10/16
Dinosaur Jr’s set at Stylus was remarkable to say the least. The fact the band are still able to combine such a playful accessibility with their excessive volume and experiments with noise, especially in a […]
Augustines @ Stylus, 23/10/16
It’s always sad to hear that a band is breaking up, especially when you are lucky enough to witness a concert that encapsulates their talent whilst showcasing the mutual love and appreciation between themselves and […]
