The Reign: https://www.facebook.com/wearethereign

'The Reign blasted through tracks (such as my personal favorite "Fighter")
with all the ease and confidence you would expect from a more established
band. Organizer (and British Daylight member) Mikey Sibson poetically dubbed
them "fucking brilliant" after their set and I really think it's impossible
to argue with his assessment' - Carpemusica.com

from their ep :

” ’Take It or Leave It’ clearly ambitious songwriting in place and no
shortage of shining, grandiose and euphonious moments. The Reign have
deserved the title of "ones to watch" on the northern scene. Keep an eye on
them” - Carpemusic.com

The Arrogance of King Canute: https://www.facebook.com/thearroganceof

The four members of 'The Arrogance of King Canute' bring together a mixture
of musical influences resulting in a vibrant and unique sound. With
sentiments of garage rock,indie and pop, 'King Canute' have brought back a
forgotten approach to song-writing combined with fresh new elements to the
local circuit. Frenetic bass lines, melodic guitars, steady beats, catchy
sax riffs, and laid back vocals is what you should come to expect from a
band who pride themselves on a genuine passion for making music, that you
won't soon forget!

create an acoustic fusion of incredible percussive picking and soul
influenced vocals.

“Awesomely wonderful Leeds duo: would wipe the floor with most of stuff on
Jools Holland” Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

“The rhythmic and melodic picking of the acoustic guitar is complimented
gorgeously by Gemma, (Gill’s Daughter) who sings clearly and effortlessly
with a vocal style that mixes Imogen Heap, Joss Stone and the folk-tinged
sounds of artists like Bat For Lashes.” Yorkshire Evening Post

The Creeks:  http://www.TheCreeks.co.uk/

Fresh from their Leeds Festival gig, where they were instantly asked to
return for 2012, come check these guys, they are fresh and original and
superb live!

Shattered Glass Media:
"With their unique brand of alternative rock and tight live show, The Creeks
are one of the most impressive bands on the Yorkshire scene right now.
Whether jamming in a bedroom or playing to a huge crowd, they give 100% and
it's the combination of that attitude and great tunes that'll help this band
go far"

Jay Vermin-No Title Magazine:
“The Creeks are merely political in the same way as Kasabian, a band who in
terms of value they closely resemble. If you listen to the lyrics in the way
they were intended on being heard, then they are every bit as defiant as
Sergeant Pepper after a few whiskies and a couple of tabs of acid. With that
much energy, this brings the band that little bit closer to The Pixies, if
ever they were given the chance to be national, that closeness would be
amplified tenfold”

Empire Safari:   http://www.empiresafari.co.uk/videos.htm

‘Empire Safari have a cohesion and clarity of sound that I was lucky enough
to witness once before several months ago’     Josh Lewis – Leeds Music
Scene

‘make excellent and sparing use of tight vocal harmonies, and their
composure throughout is consummately professional. Set closer, a triumphant
cover of Gary Numan's timeless ode to the automobile, 'Cars', earns big
points with the audience’
Josh Lewis – Leeds Music Scene

Apollo's Basement:  https://www.facebook.com/apollosbasement

"In Leeds, 2010, a young looking, annoying front man teamed up with an angry
ginger guitarist, a dirty but loveable guitarist, a gorgeous but gangly bass
player and a drummer with very soft hands to form possibly the greatest band
of all time. Slipping pop and funk elements into indie music, Apollo's
Basement might just be your very own cheeky dream"

Press:

“Next up was Apollo's Basement - the only full band of the night. A set of
catchy songs ensued, featuring memorable hooks that I can recall with
perfect clarity long after the performance, such as the vocal melody crammed
with melodic activity in the chorus of 'Ginger' and the danceable, off-beat
rhythms of 'Magic Maker'.

“Singer Sam Orbaum delivered consistently strong vocals and, when the
guitars adopted sparser parts on songs such as 'Cheeky Dream' and his lyrics
could be heard, a sense of humour was revealed in his writing. The line
about a girl giving him "a list of guys [she]'d rather screw" resonated for
very personal reasons, but that topic is a little too tight right now, I'll
get deeper into that later. I also enjoyed the following quip from
'Navigation': "Navigation must be really tricky with your head stuck way up
there".”

Charles Eager - leeds music scene

2boys 1box:

return to 360 Club, after an ace set last time, it’s  great to have them
back!

Formed on the streets of LA out of a need to raise cash and get home this
Yorkshire duo is one of the most culturally diverse, amusingly entertaining,
eclectic virtuoso acts to ever cross your lobes! Intertwining hip hop
grooves with indie sensibilities this is an act of the kind you won't have
seen before but will certainly want to see again.
