Dance To The Radio proudly presents Esben And The Witch’s first gig in Leeds. The Brighton 3 piece have been making waves in recent months with their incendiary live show playing with the likes of The XX and Deerhunter. Described as ‘nightmare pop’ the band recently featured on Dance To The Radio’s 4 x 12” compilation EP alongside Chickenhawk & Olfar and their first EP is available to download for free from the link above. This is a band you cannot miss!
“Esben remind you of the malice in wonderland, the beauty in horror and the horror in beauty” – The Guardian
“sample-filled mournful beauty” - Teletext
“Like Polly Harvey stepping in for Beth Gibbons during Portishead sick leave” - NME
PAUL THOMAS SAUNDERS

Set to feature on the next Dance To The Radio 4 x 12” alongside Drink Up Buttercup & Milk White White Teeth the Leeds based songsmith returns to the Brudenell with his beautiful live show. Having supported Blue Roses and Bombay Bicycle Club already this year, he is set for big things. Paul Thomas Saunders is a man wise beyond his years influenced by the likes of Joe Meek and Leonard Cohen.
“His whisky-soaked vocals belie his years, and the understated delicacy of his songs is a lovely treat” - The Fly
HONOUR BEFORE GLORY (Whiskas / ¡Forward, Russia!)

What needs to be said? Honour Before Glory is the solo project from Whiskas of Dance To The Radio / ¡Forward, Russia! Fame. Think a mix between Jason Molina (Magnolia Electric Co), My Bloody Valentine and TV On The Radio and you’re pretty much there. We’re delighted to have him playing.
“HBG is a great, naturally tentative and atmospheric piece of work” - Steve Lamacq

Ok so its that time of year for the best albums and tracks released. We've also included our favourite albums and tracks of the decade for good measure. Keep your eyes peeled for contributions from bands on the label and friends. I've also cheated on my list as i couldn't get it down to 10 so i made my best albums and singles of the decade 20.
