Are there any decent modern bands from Newcastle or North-East England?

WRONG

First EP + album were awesome. Not sure what happened after that.

I enjoyed the later stuff too, few songs on that Print is Dead shite too. Then he got a better deal from The Automatic lol

I stand corrected. My brain had eradicated that from my memory.

an honest mistake. happy to let you off with a warning this time

Have you ever heard of Sting?

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.

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.

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:
