The North

Three young people lying on a wooden floor with their heads together in the center, creating a star-like formation. They're surrounded by various objects related to music and skateboarding.

They say all the best band names have gone but when you are so refreshingly thrilling and brilliant as Leeds’ The North sometimes you need something that does exactly what is says on the tin. The hard hitting indie (with a side of punk and shoegaze) three-piece channel the punk energy of early Britpop (with a dash of My Bloody Valentine) but distil it into something more refined, thoughtful and creatively realised. Think reverb soaked guitars, soaring melodies, pint of lager and a packet of crisps. In’t T‘North brilliant! (Steve Spithray)
