Which city currently has the Best Music Scene...

sean [Edit] [Delete] 21 replies 10:56, 2 March '04

And why? What makes a great scene? Who are the best new bands in these scenes? Talk...

My vote goes to Leeds because they've got so many great new bands, including The Kaiser Chiefs who we've just signed and The Cribs who're ace.

In second place comes Sheffield, also because of some great bands there.

Sheffield definitely, although being from there I would say that. Judan Suki, Harrissons and Arctic Monkeys are the best young bands in the area that I know of. What bands in Sheffield are you on about Sean? I'm pretty ITK about the local scene, but you may be aware of some bands that I'm not....

  I doubt I'm the biggest music buff on here....
  
  I like Sheffield because I know a bit about the local scene and it's my city. I know bits and bobs about bands coming through in other cities. I'm very impressed with Liverpool at the moment and I'm quite dissapointed with Manchester, given it's history, I'm surprised there's not more great bands coming from there right now.
  
  Also, there's a band I'm aware of, and have already mentioned I don't know how many times, in the Norwich area called the FlyGarricks, they are amazing and on the cusp of a deal.

  Probably London just due to the sheer amount of music, venues and labels. But for interesting stuff maybe Sheffield,Birmingham or cardiff (although we dont yet have enough decent venues).

    yeah, london is the capital of england, and britain.
    
    i was cheerfully reminding you that edinburgh is the capital city of scotland, not glasgow.
    
    no dig intended. im just jealous of your music scene. i admit its better.
    
    i seem to end up over there every week anyway... but at least your less likely to get shot in edinburgh...

      lol, they don't lie when they say glasgow has "character"!
      
      but it does seem that i spend an increasing amount of time over there, the number of gigs in comparison to here in the 'burgh is shocking, and even the "local support" bands seem decent most of the time.
      
      we have lots of live funk in edinburgh...

        The best music scenes I have come accross whilst touring are in:
        
        Malmo - where Punk never died
        Eindhoven (Rock City)
        Aberdeen - the most rock town in the UK
        Limmerick - The best place to go for any band!
        Hamburg - Bands own the venues!
        Berlin - Wild At Heart rules!
        etc
