THE DASSINS

“The Dassins’ arrangements have flair and abandon” -The Morning Star

A rock/indie band from Leeds, UK. They released their debut album "Suburban Nightmare" last year. The Dassins draw from many influences ranging anywhere from the music of The Beatles, The Jam, and many other British bands to American folk including The Other Favourites and Bob Dylan. This contributes to their style and the amount of variety in their music. Their new album is set for release in early 2024 along with new music videos.

Since forming in April 2022, Strangers have burst onto the Leeds music scene. Their debut single paved the way for a sold-out headline performance at Royal Park Cellars and was quickly followed by a second single in Summer 2023. Undeterred by a brief hiatus caused by their guitarist's wrist fracture, Strangers are set to bring their energetic live show back to Leeds this Spring.

“They play indie rock and pop, with an amazing talent for writing songs which you’ll be right on board with from the off. Keep an eye on their progress because these guys have a bright future.” – Cloth Cat

Formed in 2023, indie rock band Fever Dreams are one of the hottest prospects on the Yorkshire music scene. They’ve already played venues such as the Brudenell Social Club as well as securing slots with This Feeling. Their songs draw inspiration from the likes of Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys and Wolf Alice to The La’s, The Smiths and The Verve. With a sound that fuses heartfelt melodic pop songs with colourful psychedelic overtones to classic guitar driven indie anthems.
