The bands cited by the magazine included
Other bands that fall into this genre include
Various Yorkshire-based record labels have worked on DIY releases around the same time, including The Laundrette, Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation, and Spoonjuice Records.
The Leeds label Dance to the Radio was formed by ¡Forward, Russia!, and its February 2006 release, What We All Want,[4] showcased a number of New Yorkshire bands, including The Playmates, The Lodger, Bam Bam Francs and Voltage Union.
The movement was in its prime between 2005 and 2008, where a number of the artists reached national recognition and were successful in the UK charts. However, many disbanded in the following years as they failed to achieve the long-term success seen by some of the more notable acts, with few bands from the region appearing in record charts in the late 2000s and early 2010s.[5]
