Yes please. I approached this tour with a little trepidation because last August’s mini-tour, and in particular the Kingston show, ended up being one of my all-time favourite gigs. Pretty much nothing was going to compare to that Monday 26 April 2010 The Swellers – Leeds Cockpit As The Swellers keep reminding us, this is their first ever UK show and they are sure glad to be here. The first date of the Give It A Name tour is a solo headliner for the Michigan quartet who are quickly gaining a glowing reputation after album-of-the-year Friday 11 December 2009 Gallows – Leeds Cockpit *This gig was at The Duchess, York* Musically Sharks remind me of some of the Deep Elm cannon in places – the laid back emo (back when emo was tight jumpers and back packs) stylings of Brandston/Elliot maybe, but with heavy doses of 80’s/90’s UK brit-pop and indie.

Considering how many bands are sounding fairly similar at the minute, it?s quite refreshing to hear a band that seems to have spent approximately Wednesday 28 March 2007 The Academy Is – Leeds Cockpit The Academy Is… (+ The Audition + Young Love) Leeds Cockpit 25/03/2007 Tonight’s ‘Sold Out’ show, admittedly, may not have been possible for The Academy Is… if it weren’t for the publicity gained by fellow Chicagoans and Fueled By Ramen label mates, Wednesday 14 February 2007 Gym Class Heroes – Leeds Cockpit Gym Class Heroes (supported by Madina Lake and Hangar 18) Leeds Cockpit 11/02/2007 The oddly matched rapping duo, Hangar 18 from New York, set the evening off brilliantly.
