The Hop – part of Bradford Music Week gigs across Love Apple and Delius. Checked out Laura Groves, Napolean IIIrd, Ox Eagle Lion Man, Paul Marshall, Lets Wrestle, Sons & Daughters. Laura Groves sounded good, but very similar to artists like Regina Spektor – sadly the most notable part of the gig was a set to between an avid fan and a guy talking very loud making it hard to hear the gig.

Ox Eagle Lion Man were very charismatic and pretty good. Some of the tracks better than others, but the NME hype seemed justified this time.

Lets Wrestle – the bit that stuck in my mind was the guitarist being unable to sing their Lets Wrestle track, so he got two lads up to chant the chorus – rock stars for a night, it was great.

Sons and Daughters, sounded not all that interesting from the back of the room, but up closer started to see what the band was about, maybe need to check this band out further.
