Bands
Pushbike Army

Pushbike Army are a young and exciting, 3 piece indie/punk band from Leeds, England. The band consists of John Rennie (Vox/Guitar) Andy Booth (Bass Guitar) and Chris Hide (Drums). The lads grew up in different towns of northern England but it was in Leeds they met, and in February 2006 they formed Pushbike Army. They produce honest music from the heart, delivered with a dose of healthy youth aggression which has been described by media sources as modish football terrace chants and riot rock’n’roll. On February 15th 2007, “Sleeping in the ditch” Pushbike Army’s debut demo was given “demo of the week” on BBC6 Music by Steve Lamacq, who also interviewed singer John Rennie live on air.
The Mooncats

If drab, unexciting, overcast Northern shipbuilding towns are your home…you’ll know just where The Mooncats are coming from! Based in the biggest cul-de-sac in England, the seeds of The Mooncats were sewn many years ago. Curwen and Pablo (The Bedroom band) performed at local pubs with their idiosyncratic observational songs about the town in which they lived………after a hiatus of a number of years, Ben and Pablo began jamming (under the alias Wizards Sleeve) and recruited Jordan. This musical foundation needed a wordsmith, someone for whom language was a tool, and the microphone a means of deliverance…..who better than Curwen! Formed in May 2007, The Mooncats have already begun playing all across the North West after having become one of the front runners on Barrows ever growing music scene.
