The Wind Up BirdsYOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD OF:
The Wind Up Birds from Leeds.

IN A NUTSHELL, THEY'RE A BIT LIKE:
Mark E Smith fronting Art Brut in West Yorkshire, which a deceptively indie-rock format soon giving way to an enjoyably psychotic temperament.

FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL:
The group have signed to the budding young label Sturdy Records, upon with their new EP Courage, For Tomorrow Will Be Worse is out 6 December.

IT'S ONLY A FIRST DATE, BUT WE'RE THINKING:
That there's currently something in the water supply in Leeds - another fine band from the area?!

AND HERE'S THAT INEVITABLE MYSPACE:
