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!

Yes…and Pale Saints, The Edsel Auctioneer (thanks Gideon Coe) and Utah Saints (let me have it) from back in the day off the top if my head
I think i was there. Wasnt that when they had the new drummer and opened with that song that sounds like wolfmother?
