A very good new track & video by Leeds band Glassbody. I first saw them in the heats of Centre Stage in Leeds, where they went on to win in the O2 Academy Leeds. A Leeds/Reading Festival appearance followed and they really went for it. Impressing the crowds at both sites. Now a year on they have impressed me again with this new release.

Love this new video by Yorkshire band The Beaus
They’ve been around for a few years now, developing the craft. One thing that has developed alongside their music, is their ability to make their own videos really well. This video should also gain them a few Bob Hope fans too, hopefully.
Here’s a quick run of re-posts from my other blogs to bring it all to one page
I’m consolidating my blogs into this one. So here’s a quick run of recommendations that I have posted before elsewhere. Just to get it all on one page from now on.

I say! It’s Black Diamond Bay
I’ve been into this band for just over year now, since seeing them at The Library in Leeds. I’ve now seen them 4 more times live and love them all the more for it. After uploading their tracks to the BBC Introducing Uploader and impressing the Leeds based Producer at the time Graham Albans (now at BBC Radio 2) they got a session on BBC Introducing West Yorkshire. This lead to a recommendation and subsequent appearance on the BBC Introducing Stage at Leeds/Reading Festival. The drummer is a genius, the vocals are gorging and that slowed down house sound is well sexy. I caught up with them shortly after Leeds Fest, at The Library again:
More ear bending anyone?

Anyway it’s still Saturday morning and I’m out of my sleeping bag and stuffed with complimentary toast. So before I dive into the madness of Live at Leeds, I’ll give you my Raw recommendations:
Probably the best vintage case amp ever
The first of this weeks seven recomendations
Hears a little trio of big recommendations for you:
In fear of Olive from Doncaster area, are very impresive live. Great songs, so well written and performed with style and attitude. I highly recommend them. My favourite of their songs so far is Saluting magpies.

Saw some very fine bands at The Library in Leeds this week. One of which was a complete surprise to me. I had no idea that they would be so good and don’t where they have been hiding. A band this good in my area, usually gets talked about within my earshot at some point before such an accomplished performance. Definately one to watch: Return To Aljustrel.

Just on the off chance that you are not yet aware of the incredible Middleman, I thought I better get them in the list. They are one of my favourite EVER bands. spinning plates is a great single, a great album and a great video, but most of all an exceptional lyrical work of art. Yes it really is that well penned.
