The Swing Movement

"The Swing Movement formed September 2006 on the brow of Ilkley moor out of the ashes of various juvenile projects. Merely a year later the band had toured Belgium, played Leeds Festival and sold out shows at local Leeds/Bradford venues such as The Cockpit and The Love Apple. Since then they have reached new levels. 2008 saw them play the In The City festival in Manchester, support a host of acts ranging from Yeasayer to Team Waterpolo and an airing on one of Match of the Days esteemed montages.

Talk To Angels

Talk To Angels are Craig Kaye (guitar & vocals), Chris Robbins (bass) and Jamie Lofthouse (drums). All three were born in Bradford Royal Infirmary during 1989, although not at the same time. Even though they’re only eighteen they’ve already been playing music together for three or four years, although it was never really that serious. Unless you’re the Jacksons or Hanson, it seldom is when you’re 15.
