Everything is under control

About Me

Figure 1: ["Flattering and unecessarily detailed history of band"]
Figure 2: ["Grotesquely miscalculated comparison to well respected and established artist + "someone a bit different"]

Figure 3: ["Confident yet tragically ill-conceived assertion that this year is going to be "our year"]

Figure 4: ["Lengthly and unremarkable gig history"]

Figure 5: ["Witless sign off laced with self adulation and cajolery"]

Sounds Like:
"music at its best" Leedsmusicscene.net

"Record Department are Leeds' first truly indispensible band. Their music smacks you in the face and forces you to face your own reflection" No Title Magazine

"Possibly the next great band out of Leeds" Roscoe Review

"musically adept, passionate and politically informed – providing just the right balance between brain-searing guitar and easy-on-the-ear vocals." High Voltage Magazine

"I was under the impression that I was outside, happily smoking away to the sounds of Forward russia, Joy Division and the Rapture, what I was actually listening to was Record Department. With tunes like White Lies and Hypnophaedia in their arsenal I doubt they'll be wanting much interms of audiences in the near future. Best band of the night". Sandman
