'The minimal recordings available to the proletariat belie the majestic, emotive performances that the much expanded Held By Hands share with us when they play live. Not entirely a world apart from The Flaming Lips, Giant Sand, Arcade Fire et al, the utterly sublime catchiness of the vocal refrain of 'Trading on Past Treasures' not only makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, it will most likely plait them into a thick cord and choke tears from your eyes.'

Hello,
<br />We are playing the lovely Cardigan Arms on the 21st of March. Being foreigners from Sheffield, it would be grand if you could pop in and see us and bring a few other Leedsies with you if you are free.
<br />
<br />Here are a few nice things people have said about us. Have a listen on our page and see if you like what we are up to
<br />
<br />"AN AMAZING LIVE ACT, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN" (Sandman Magazine)
<br />
<br />"AN IMPRESSIVE SET FROM A BAND WITH A KNACK FOR WRITING CATCHY SONGS AND DELIVERING THEM LIVE AS WELL AS IN THE STUDIO" (Sandman Magazine)
<br />"PROMISING SONG WRITERS" (Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6)
<br />
<br />"THESE DAYS I FIND THRASH AND POWER POP A BIT REPETITIVE, BUT THIS WAS REMINISCENT OF MORRISSEY WHILE STILL BEING PERSONAL, I HEAR THE POSSIBILITY OF A GOOD FUTURE. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU COULD SUPRISE US ALL ONE DAY". (Paul Gambaccini, BBC Radio 6)
<br />
<br />Anyway, it would be nice to see you there.
<br />
<br />All The Best

Hello, we are foreigners from Sheffield that will be playing Leeds on the 12th of December at the Cardigan Arms. It would be grand if you could come and make noise for us, as Sheffield folk are far too frightend to come to a big city like leeds. Cheers The Unfortunate Incident

Hello. I just wanted to thank you all for playing in Carlisle the other night, it was such a wonderful show. I would also like to give a special thank you to Stephen for selling some of his records to me, I was really quite excited to find an extra 7" hidden within Satanic Panic. :)
