\"\"<\/p>\n

Leeds based quartet Forever Cult<\/strong> are just one of the many up-and-coming names to emerge from the Yorkshire city in recent years. With their brand of fuzz-laden, grungy indie-punk, they’ve been venturing up and down the UK in recent months having played shows with Fizzy Blood with the occasional headline show here and there.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, they’ve not forgotten their roots. With a city like Leeds offering a plethora of venues and pubs for rising bands to cut their teeth, Forever Cult<\/strong> have been playing throughout the city for the best part of four years. It’s safe to say they know their favourite places to play in the “Capital of the North”.<\/em><\/p>\n

As they put the finishing touches to their next EP and plan for a busy summer of festival appearances, including Live At Leeds, Hit The North, we asked Forever Cult<\/strong> to tell us about their five favourite places to hang out and play in Leeds.<\/p>\n

\n

Here\u2019s a bunch of places in Leeds we like to go and obviously they love us hanging around too.<\/p>\n

BRUDENELL SOCIAL CLUB<\/strong>
\nIt’s just the best pub\/venue in Leeds. Seen too many amazing gigs in here to pick out specifics, had class New Years Eve\u2019s and supped many a pint of Guinny in here. We\u2019ve played it plenty of times too and have never had a bad gig here. Although\u00a0Snowy (drums) did have a bit of a nightmare when we played with Francobollo. He fell off his stool (and nearly off the stage) when we were about to kick into the outro of ‘Glass Eye’<\/em> (listen to it to picture the scene). The rest of us\u00a0were waiting for him, then turned round to see he\u2019d disappeared. Seconds later he popped up and smashed into it. It was a bad gig for him all round really, got his hair caught in his mouth later on and was sick in his mouth. Grim.<\/p>\n

THE NAVE<\/strong>
\nGreavesy (bass) spends all his time here producing bangers for all sorts of bands (PLAZA, TRASH, Vulgarians etc) so it\u2019s a good place to start. We spend a load of time here too as it\u2019s where we get down our tunes with Mr\u00a0Matt Peel, play pool and smoke tabs out the side door. It\u2019s just a class place to be, dead chilled, cool as and somewhere we can create. We did a live session in there so get on that YouTube and find it, it\u2019ll give you an idea of how\u00a0ace it is.<\/p>\n
