The Gary Stewart Band are a six-piece folk-rock outfit from Leeds, West Yorkshire. Since their formation in 2003, the band has gone through various personnel and now consists of Gary on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, Ruth Viqueira on drums and percussion, Jordan Senior on harmonica and backing vocals, India Patel on violin, Matt Peel on bass guitar, and Andy Hawkins(of Midget) on acoustic guitar and backing vocals. The Gary Stewart Band sound is Roots-based, with a balance of Folk and Blues.

Buen Chico are a young band from Leeds who are all around 20 years of age. Their songs are a fiery mix of pop, new wave, motown, alternative indie and punk inspired by the likes of Supergrass, The Ramones, The Kinks, Weezer, The Flaming Lips and The Pixies. After playing for nearly three years with such illustrious gig mates as Kaiser Chiefs, The Subways, The Kooks, Boy Kill Boy, The Long Blondes, GoodShoes, The Cribs, Forward Russia! and The Pipettes (and also featuring on the first Dance to the Radio compilation) their hard work has paid off.

Napoleon IIIrd is a highly original singer-songwriter from Leeds. His music is a tangle of sounds and melodies made from piles of antique organs and car-boot keyboards, strummed chords and driving glitch-beats. Many of his songs are world-weary comments on modern life, set against an expansive musical backdrop. Napoleon IIIrd has released two early EPs and an album, entitled "In Debt To:", which met with widespread critical acclaim.

‘Call Me Dragon’ is the band’s debut album, soon to be released with Brew Records and Function Records on March 1st 2010. Call Me Dragon demonstrates the freaked out, riff driven prog-force that the respected four-piece have become. With their love of large vintage amplifiers, big drums and high energy, passionate performances, These Monsters deliver a huge live sound and are developing a reputation as one of the loudest and most exciting underground bands in the UK.
