New Yorkshire

New Yorkshire was a musical movement identified by UK music magazine NME in 2005, in response to the success of Yorkshire bands such as Arctic Monkeys, The Cribs, and Kaiser Chiefs at the time.

The bands cited by the magazine included Sheffield guitar-based groupsMilburn, Harrisons, Bromheads Jacket, and The Long Blondes, and Leeds bands The Pigeon Detectives, Your Vegas, The Research, and Black Wire. NME identified new crossover genres developing in Leeds, which it described as "disco-punk" and "dance-metal". ¡Forward, Russia!, and The Sunshine Underground are examples of this.

Other bands that fall into this genre include Stable, O Fracas, The Defunct, Dead Disco, Stoney, This Et Al, The Ivories, Monkey Swallows the Universe, Tiny Dancers, Little Man Tate, Bhuna, Solar Powered Butterflies, Reverend and The Makers, Duels, Little Ze, Letters and Colours, The Yell, Smokers Die Younger, Champion Kickboxer, and One Night Only (from Ryedale, North Yorkshire). Another new genre developing in Leeds is that of 'Surf Pop', which is typified by Buen Chico.
