Home Town: Leeds
Jooped review: "The Headliners are a smooth sounding indie band with five piece band from Barnsley. With a rhythm to dance to and tasteful lyrics they bring a new take on indie. They tout a sound a bit like Maximo Park but definitely adding more class and skill to their tunes. I guess if Top of the Pops where still going I would tell you to look out for them on there."
What the band say about themselves: "The Headliners started February 2006 and are based in Barnsley. The band consists of five members. The Headliners are building up a large following as they proceed to gig throughout the UK. The Headliners have supported the likes of 'The Pigeon Detectives’, ‘Little Man Tate’, 'The Holloways', and other great bands.
Recently the band received recognition by, winning a Yorkshire battle of the bands competition, mentions in the press, and first rate reviews.
Drawing individual influences together, every track caters to any taste with an entirely unique sound to any bands in the general area.
REVIEWS
‘Sounding like a funked up Automatic, played some gutsy music. Already creating some interest back home, this young band could well be the next generation bothering the scenesters.’ (CHRIS MATTHEWS, SANDMAN MAGAZINE)
‘You see them holding court if far bigger venues as a five piece. Held nothing back as there performance belied their relative inexperience. They've already supported the like of The Holloways and are definitely one to watch!!’
(SIMON CLARK, SANDMAN MAGAZINE)
‘its only a matter of time before these guys go big time’
(FLASH KEV, SOUNDBITES)
‘The best band I’ve seen at the Club since The Arctic Monkeys’
(FROG AND PARROT)
‘Soundbites has received two spanking reviews about this band, so I suppose it is time to see what all the fuss is about. After ten minutes I realise why this band is popular amongst Soundbites writers. The music is sharp and almost like a breath of fresh air. The performance is concise and the songs very appealing to everyone. The lead guitar is orgasmic and the bass racy, keeping you hooked for more and more. The Headliners arent the sort of band who hold back during their performance, they deliver whatever they feel. Lurved em!
