There was like 2-3 good songs in the lot. Guitarist who i always thought was the brains behind it is in editors now… and saw a dreadful new band of paul mullen’s a couple years ago.
¡Forward, Russia!
If you like horribly noisy stuff there’s loads atm - Blown Out, BONG, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Tough Tits, Haiku No Ku, 11Paranoias etc.
Plenty from Leeds… Eagulls, Hookworms, Post War Glamour Girls, Battle Lines, I Like Trains, and Menace Beach have all put albums out in recent years.
Don’t forget Drunk in Hell!
Going to make a note of these
If you do write down ‘Haikai No Ku’ as that is how it’s supposed to be spelt…
no mention of Prefab Sprout / Paddy McAloon yet ?
He can still knock out a wonderful tune. This is new.
They’re from Leeds not north east England.
Mentioned in OP
fair enough, that’ll teach me to read the OP properly!
No, you’re quite right. Yorkshire is not the North East.
Big fan of this from Okay Champ:
Kingsley Chapman & the Murder. Shame they’re splitting up soon.
If we’re including Leeds, then Eagulls should get a mention.
Oh they already did
Dartz!
Oh, great call!
The Wildhearts, of course.
Plus Ginger Wildhearts numerous bands (Mutation and Hey! Hello! are his latest projects).
His solo stuff is excellent too!
