  NYNS 2012

  New Year/New Start returns to The Well in Leeds this January.

  After the success of last year's all-dayer we decided to give it another whirl so... On the 28th January at 1pm The Facts will kick off what will be almost 10 hours of quality tuneage in Leeds.

  Our own The Dauntless Elite, who are celebrating the release of their fantastic second album, will headline, ably supported by the cream of the crop of the current UK DIY punk scene. From the indie-rock of Bedford Falls and Peachfuzz to the Sonic Youth-inspired noise of Saturday's Kids; from the street-punk anthems of Homebrew to the rock and roll swagger of Matadors, from the DC styled pop of Coal Train to the alt-country twang of The Brown Hound James Band - the full breadth of the UK scene is covered.

  Add to the above the brilliant Caves, Above Them, Slow Science, Zapiain and The Amistad. It's sure to be one hell of a day!

  For more information - visit the NYNS website or get social on Facebook.

  Also worth mentioning is the New Year/Pre-Start gig that's happening on the 27th January at The Fox And Newt. Then you'll be able to enjoy the sounds of Protectors, Digger Barnes, Achtung Everybody!, Jimmy Islip (of That Fucking Tank/The Magnificent/Eighty Six),and Get Human so why not make a Leeds weekend of it.

  NYNS 2011

  Tagged: New Year / New Start

  A huge, sloppy-wet "thanks!" to everyone who came down to The Well last week for New Year/New Start 2011!

  We had an amazing time (stress? what stress?) and the turn-out seriously couldn't have been better - including band-members we reckon there were about 325 people milling about! At a DIY punk gig... in Leeds... in 2011. Get in. So many old friends and faces too added to the feeling that we'd all transported back in time 6 years!

  All the bands were brilliant and definitely went away with some new fans - cheers to you all for playing! Alas I never get to see everyone because of time spent on the door but personal highlights for me included the one-off Eighty Six gig (brilliant mix of old and new(er) songs capped with a perfect Jawbreaker cover), Caves, The Dauntless Elite and Peachfuzz. I'm really looking forward to seeing The Brown Hound James Band properly at some point and, from where I was listening, Attack! Vipers! sounded phenomenal. Popping my head around the door for Milloy, when the crowd in the main room was HUGE, made me so glad I decided to give this thing another go and reaffirmed my faith in the "for the love of it" ethic.

  The midnight acoustic set by Dave Hause (of The Loved Ones) and Franz Nicolay (and Helen Chambers) and Juvi Hall just cemented all of that.

  Extra thanks to to all the staff at The Well for being super nice and utterly relaxed all day - despite the lateness of the bands and the last minute requests.

  Now all we have to do is figure out a way of topping it in 2012. :-)

  Happy New Year / NYNS

  Posted: 2011-01-01

  Tagged: New Year / New Start

  Right, so there are some ace label plans already taking shape behind closed doors but you'll have to wait until after NYNS for me to divulge any juicy information. In the meantime, here's how the line-up for NYNS is looking...

  Milloy
  The Dauntless Elite
  Attack! Vipers!
  Eighty Six
  Peachfuzz
  The Amistad
  Caves
  Protectors
  Homebrew
  Zapiain
  The Better End
  The Brown Hound James Band

  The sad news is that Kelly 8 are no longer coming over so that marks the end of the band. Gutted doesn't come close but we'll be keeping an ear out for their new band soon.

  The great news is that Eighty Six are playing! The 'Six last took to a stage in 2004 and this is looking like it'll probably be a one off so make sure to catch them here!

  For more info on the bands above and for other info on the gig itself... Visit the official New Year/New Start 2011 website.

  New Year / New Start '11

  Posted: 2010-10-13

  Tagged: New Year / New Start

  After a three year haitus, New Year/New Start will be making a cautious return come January.

  Yep, our Dugong-inspired all-dayer will once again aim to start the new year off with some much needed ROCK come January 15th. The line-up will include the "new blood" on the label as well as a few old Leeds scene die-hard's and some friends from further afield. Balancing the line-up is always tricky, especially with 6 active bands on the label, but hopefully we've managed just enough variation to allow each band room to breathe.

  The line up is 90% sorted and will be announced in full in good time. In the meantime I'm happy to confirm the following:

  THE DAUNTLESS ELITE
  Seems redundant mentioning their previous bands now... You know who they are. Releases on Plan-it-X, Snuffy Smile, Yo Yo and Bombed Out. I've heard their next album is coming together nicely.

  ATTACK! VIPERS!
  South Coast celebrity hardcore with twinkly bits, metallic bits, screams and hearts of fucking gold. Releases out on Yo Yo Records, We Heart Records and Rat Patrol. One of the best live bands around right now.

  PEACHFUZZ
  Replacements/Soul Asylum/Buffalo Tom style indie-rock from Wales. New album is a corker... And a concept album. Who knew.

  PROTECTORS
  Ex-members of Dugong, Pylon and Nathaniel Green play upbeat indie-pop in a Superchunk meets Guided By Voices kinda way. Their alter-ego band did that Cappelo song.

  HOMEBREW
  Cider-fueled, shout-along street-punk from North Yorkshire featuring the mouthy one from The Dauntless Elite. Legends in their own lifetime.

  THE BETTER END
  Ex-members of The Leif Ericsson/Grover/shit loads of other bands playing great, old fashioned melodic punk rock.

  Keep checking back for more news on this. We should also have a lovely poster for the event soon courtesy of all-round gent, Joe Watson of Attack! Vipers! / Vision Incision.

  Oh, and if Facebook is your bag then feel free to register your interest at our New Year / New Start event page.

• NYNS07 Announced

  Posted: 2006-12-28

  Tagged: New Year / New Start

  Our annual festival returns in February 2007 and it's sure to be another good one. Maybe our best yet?

  Obviously all the current Bombed Out bands will be in attendance: The Leif Ericsson (who's album-launch this years event coincides with), The Mercury League, Kelly 8 and The Dauntless Elite.

  As well as that (and some argue this is the more interesting portion of the day) we've lined up The Minor Fall (sadly their last gig), Calcutecs, Attack! Vipers!, Harbour, Fun! Yeah!, A Book Burning Diet, Tatako, The Magnificent and For Old Times Sake.
