Quickly proving itself as a powerhouse underground label in the North of England, Leeds label Brew (Castrovalva, Chickenhawk, Humanfly Kong & These Monsters) have teamed up with Yorkshire¡¯s legendary Dance to the Radio (¢®Forward, Russia!, Holy State, Grammatics) to release a  limited 10¡± vinyl split  to coincide with Record Store Day 2011 and in honour of a certain royal wedding.

With Leeds currently at the forefront of the UK alternative rock scene, this release is further proof of why it’s  the place to be. From the straight up power hardcore rock n roll from Dolphins  (ex This Et Al) to the expertly executed noise rock of Blacklisters, the noise hop of Castrovalva and the fantastically skewed, melodically-inventive Hawk Eyes (previously known as Chickenhawk & their first release under the new name), this is not a release for everyone. Those of a nervous disposition need not apply.

There will be a launch show on Friday 22nd April at The Brudenell Social Club, Leeds where all the bands will be performing. Pre-orders & ticket combos can be ordered directly from the Brew / DTTR online shops.

Facebook event here.
