Last Saturday we had the best time at Boom in Leeds for the big @nmitbank.bsky.social Mates Fest extravaganza. Fish Outta Water Media Media took these absolute 10/10 photos of us too. Loved every band we got to see and everyone there was just absolutely lovely from start to finish. 🙏 Round 2 plz
Allo Northern friends. Come to this because the line-up speaks for itself.
@slashfiction.bsky.social @fightmilkband.bsky.social @ourlivesincinema.bsky.social @palesailorband.bsky.social @perfectteethls4.bsky.social I know are on here...if there's others then I'm sure this will find them
Does anyone in Leeds like spending all day watching loud and lovely punk and emo bands? Because if you do then do we have news for you

I fucking knew there was a network I forgot to spam
Hey! We’re not dead! We’re very much alive and happy to say we’ve been added to Mates Fest 25 thanks to @nmitbank.bsky.social!
Being asked if we want to play Boom one last time before they close their doors forever is an absolute honour.
Playing with a load of old mates and new ones too!
We are nothing without the art of Rob Maltby. Starting out baby-sitting duties of Leeds' most chaotic open mic from this Friday
Expanding on this, here's a bit more information about We Are The Weirdos, the band.
We Are The Weirdos are a band-ish, Weirdos has one member, but I still refer to it as a band. I use a mix of backing tracks and live instruments to create our live sound.
Done 🙂
hey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors
Hey! As you may have gathered by now, our third album, NO SOUVENIRS, is out NOW wherever you acquire your music.
It's been ours for the last 2 and a half years. Now, thanks to @fikarecordings.bsky.social and INH Records, it's everybody's.
We hope you like it.

Suspension of disbelief theory I use: 23rd century fleet would have been smaller and less spread out. All hands to the Laurentian System is easier to achieve.
Actual reason: Lazy storytelling in order to make his Star Wars show reel
Another one of these, this time for the sad banger makers who live in my phone

Also an inordinate amount of Ben Folds. My own fault for sending the everything playlist and at least I enjoyed it
The Yacht Club and @slashfiction.bsky.social are both such incredible bands, go catch them on the test of their tour if you can
I may have forgotten quite how much ska there was on the playlist I sent to the tech for the big emo gig
Insane turnouts for the opening bands
Just taken you off the one we set up, sorry about that

Very smug to see #XSmalarkey has got more followers than GB news after being here for less than a day. LOVE what it says about this platform and our capacity to find a home here.
Chef de Party is the perfect cross-over of DIY noise and pure, silly, funny nonsense. We've booked them twice and will continue to do so until the Food Standards Agency shuts them down
DIY Emo Substack when?
You seem like the man to ask, do we know what UK DIY bands are here at the moment? We have a comedy starter pack going so should probably get one going for the other side of us
My metal band now has a page here too if you'd be so kind as to follow x
Much better
Absolutely. 90% of what I love isn't good art and it's usually the trash elements I like about it.
I am one half of Punk Rock Elite: A Podcast About NOFX so if you like 90s punk rock then you might get a kick out of it.

We've made this one although I feel it's far from complete
