Leeds DIY 2000-2010

John Peel once said Leeds’ LS6 postcode had more bands than anywhere in the UK. This mixtape attempts to document some of the groups active in the early-2000s heyday of the Leeds DIY scene: self-organised gigs in sweaty pub rooms, social clubs, squats and house parties, with the Cops & Robbers listings zine as oracle of events. Compiled by Matthew Benn & Steven Nuttall.
