Greysight (metal), Fracture (Metalcore) and Ionosphere (tech/djent).

I am not from here but looking to include more local bands into my playlist, and assuming no one here knows what Melnitsa is here's specific aspects I am looking for:

- instrumental music, good vocals, rhythms inspired by traditional music like jigs but with a moderndynamic touch, I'm talking tin whistle + violin + bass guitar + electric guitar

- narrative songs, essentially folk tales, and different in their vibe - some cheerful, some melancholic and phylosophical

Bands I explored: Øxn - vibe is there but really slow and mostly quite depressing; Me lost Me - really good, but again too much leaning into mysterious and sad vibes; Trouble Notes - awesome and thoughtful and fun but most of their music doesn't have words; Nightwish - love the storytelling, that plus more folkish music would be ideal; Faun - absolutely perfect but in German

About a month to go til this hits Leeds! 🤘

Character Actors, Yorkshire’s answer to The Menzingers/The Gaslight Anthem/Joyce Manor/Jeff Rosenstock, supported by three more ace bands at The Lending Room.
