Bull

Formed in 2011 by vocalist and songwriter Tom Beer and guitarist Dan Lucas, Bull's mission is simply to make the music they wanted to listen to, inspired by their 90's heroes such as Pavement, Yo La Tengo and the Pixies. The rest of the band came together through a mix of friendships and happenstance. Drummer Tom Gabbatiss joined after he and Tom jammed together in bars while they were back-packing round Thailand, and Kai West had previously used to jump up on stage with the band and 'Bez' (verb meaning to dance badly while intoxicated) before they eventually let him play bass. In recent months Bull have announced their signing to EMI Records in conjunction with (York based indie label) Yung Thungs and been gaining serious momentum. They're released 2 singles, 'Green' and 'Disco Living', that has seen them getting radios support from Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens, Clara Amfo & Chris Hawkins particularly.
