Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls and Death From Above 1979 at 2000Trees 2024
Two cracking bands back to back at 2000Trees. It’s been too many year since we last saw Death From Above 1979… but it’s been worth the wait.

Life’s a riot for these five Leeds girrrls, and their music is firmly rooted in that impassioned proto-punk phenomenon, but it also screams with pop-protocols that bring it bang up-to-date for discerning Gen-Z be-boppers to get all sweaty and heady to. PHOTOS : SARA-LOUISE BOWREY
