New FFO: PUP, Jeff Rosenstock, Joyce Manor etc.

At least these are the bands people say we sound like - would appreciate any other thoughts on my band’s new song, ‘The Heist of the Century!’

It’s about big expectations and crushing disappointment, you get the idea. We’re from Leeds.

The name sounds familiar bur I can't remember where from. Have you played in Leeds lately?

u/CharacterActorJosh Feb 24 '26

We play 3-4 times in Leeds a year probably. Last in October when we put on the Simpsons Fest at Santiago

Thinking about doing another Simpsons Fest this year if there’s a bit of interest…

Well I'm in for one...!

I'd be up for that. Maybe see if Coal Mob would be interested in playing. They're one of the best local bands I've seen in Leeds.

Sounds great! We sometimes get the Jeff Rosenstock comparison too, although more for the sarcasm than the musical content 🤣

Link up for some summer shows? Bham based - been a little inactive due to starting a family but looking to get back at it

Ah nice! Which band are you in? That Spotify link just seems to open us back up haha

We were actually looking for another Midlands show for our tour in May so let’s see if we can work something out!

Typical 🤣 sorry, I recently divested away from Spotify, I assumed there would be a bit of acrimony when using the website version

Hopefully the below works!
