The Bondurants are a Leeds-based Alt-Country/Pop/Rock quintet formed in 2011. Over the past 12 years the strong friendship among the band members has allowed them to sharpen their songwriting and live performance skills, leading to the release of three EPs and a dedicated fanbase. The latest EP “Take The Night Away” was produced by David Watts (Kaiser Chiefs, Richard Hawley) and recorded at The Chairworks in Castleford. It features four tracks that showcase the bands diverse musical influences, including Tom Petty, Steely Dan, Bruce Springsteen, The Pretenders and John Mayer.
The Bondurants have received high critical with Croon Magazine praising their “Widescreen rock and country influences” and music journalists comparing their sound to that of The Kings of Leon. The band has performed on various stages and festivals, including The BBC Introducing Stage at Reading & Leeds Festival and Bingley Music Festival, and has supported NME Award show headliners The Jezabels and Australian singer-songwriter Dan Parsons. Their music has been featured on Alan Raww’s BBC Introducing Radio Show and played on regular rotation, and the band has also performed exclusive live sessions.

SCENIUS – dark synth pop
Leeds’ own electronic duo, perpetuating the art of making electronic dark-pop out of vintage synths and rhythm machines, Scenius blend the spirit and sounds of early electronic outfits but with a clearly modern approach.
The duo is composed of UK producer Steve Whitfield (The Cure, The Mission, Yann Tiersen) and French singer Fab Nau.
Review quotes from the new album ‘Life Is A Thing’ :- “Scenius are ace, this album is ace, and that’s all that matters….” – Louder Than War “It becomes clear just why Scenius are a growing force in the global synth pop underground”– Electronic Sound Magazine “Memorable electronic melodies, warm analogue sounds and an unmistakeable 21st Century style”– Blitzed Magazine “Scenius exhibit a dark beauty that takes them beyond the confines of post punk and dark wave” 8.5/10 – [sic] Magazine

Roddy Walston, Wargirl) and were also signed by Dan McCarroll (President and A&R) to Warner Music. ”Coyote & Sirens” their most recent offering was released in October 2018, produced and engineered by Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, Rolling Stones, f.u.n, The Revivalists).
