the north

Formed in February 2025, but with a live show which outshines that of groups five times their age and experience,

the north are the latest and greatest export of Leeds’ longstanding, fervent indie scene. Fronted by singer/guitarist

Billy Memphis, the group have spent the past 12 months building up a reputation as one of the country’s most

exciting new acts - though they’re not too fussed about the hype train. “Fuck trying to be cool or mysterious, we

wanna be us,” says Billy, “If it’s to ten people or ten million.”
