The North are a four-piece band based in Leeds. They comprise of vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Billy Memphis, Sian Keates (drummer), and Kobi Griggs (lead guitarist).

Beautifully too slow, holding you in a 4th gear stasis, forcing you to revel in their wry lyrics (“and the revolution is just a t-shirt away”) and their eloquent guitars. The beauty of Bloc Party’s ‘So Here Are’ jangles in rock ‘n’ roll moonlight before Memphis cuts loose with a Nick Valensi solo.
The build in the latter stages will induce heartwarming memories of so many 00s bands who may not have lasted the distance but left indelible marks on souls. The spiritual uprising of The Open, the dynamism of Battle, and the sense of destiny of Alterkicks all culminate in one of the decade's finest debut singles.
