Bursting with anger drenched lyrics that are spat out with venom and disgust, 'Harehills Chapeltown' is oozing with protest vocals, seething guitars riffs that sinisterly threaten to kick you in the teeth before fist pounding drums bombard their way into finish off the job; ladies and gentlemen I give you urban indie, a genre that guarantees the toughness of the streets pummels its way out of your speakers and does so with a cheeky smile plastered across its face. Aggressive and as close to the common man you'll likely to get, 'Harehills Chapeltown' assertively introduces Leeds' lads Wholeskymonitor in all their gruff and rough glory and will have you shouting along savagely in no time.

Punchy and full of spit, 'Mary Moses' kicks off with a twinned guitar assault that jangles aggressively, engulfing a hook that sinks its teeth into you unapologetically before a shout out loud chorus of "Give me all your money" goes in for the kill and whilst 'Just Let Me Talk To Her' eases off on the rage and resentment slightly Wholeskymonitor's intoxicating attitude still pounds its way to the front. Indie's found the voice of the street and its pretty peed off, you've been warned.
