Leeds is on fire!

Just handshakes (we're British) - cool as fuck.

The city of leeds has earned it's place in the "rad musical cities" hall of fame, with alumni such as the stupendously inspirational Gang of four and erm, the Kaiser Chiefs? Ok, so maybe it's not that great. But i mean it still had The Mekons, the wedding present, the sunshine underground, Sky larkin and Grum, which makes it better than Newcastle at least.
With there being talk of some sort of Resurrection of Manchester music (radchester?) it's about time that Leeds got its grubby wee meathooks on some of that juicy musical wonder. And it seems like the city could well be onto something. The city has a good selection of bands at the moment, and although they might not be pushing boundaries in quite the same way as some of the Mancunians, there's no denying that there is a LOT of talent kicking about.

Take for example Just Handshakes (we're British). They make a delicious blend of semi-twee indie pop, and it's just as good as anything America is batting our way at the moment.

Milk White White teeth are another up and coming indie band from the Leeds area. You heard about them here first! They really have a knack for making catchy upbeat tunes that i'm sure you're going to love! Check them out!

Like Baritone northern accents? If you answered yes then you're most certainly going to enjoy blood oranges! If you answered no, then go back to drinking your shandy and popping out to Sainsburys in the "Landy" or whatever you dirty southerners to in your spare time. Blood Oranges are where it's at.

Last one here, and I could have gone on a little longer, but I don't want to bore you too much, and it's like 1:30am right now so i'm about ready for bed. But i digress, Post war glamour girls are fucking brilliant, so much energy and so much potential, I have no idea why they aren't massively popular yet! PWGG have a really unique sound that I just can't get enough of! Can't wait to hear more from them.

So there you have it! Conclusive proof that Leeds is the bees knees.
