While probably quicker to list those artists we're not bothered about seeing than the ones we are, DiS would like to take this opportunity to wish the Camden Crawl a happy tenth birthday by taking a look back through the archives at some of those artists who've graced the festival since it first opened its doors back in the spring of 1995.»
No Leeds day would be complete without a mixtape or two, and who better to share the highlights of the past 10 years than Whiskas.

The Camden Crawl™ is an incessant pitch of desperate dreams and stained ale teeth; a rotter’s journey to the centre of the Dublin Castle [indie development hell] that celebrates punctuality and order over diminished responsibility and leather jackets.
