Leeds: the heart of Yorkshire, one of the friendliest places in the North, and home to some of the best new music in the UK. The city that has given us Kaiser Chiefs, iLiKETRAiNS, Hookworms and Eagulls, yes - but it has so much more to give.
A city with so many amazing music venues, it has given birth to one hell of a culture for new and rising talent - be it punk, indie, rock, electro or whatever, you'll find it in Leeds, and know that it's good.
Here's our pick of 11 emerging artists from Leeds, who we reckon deserve to be destined for some pretty big things in the year ahead.
