Modern indie rock from Leeds.

About
Northbound Lights are a four-piece indie rock band from Leeds, combining shimmering guitars, understated electronics and introspective songwriting into expansive, emotionally resonant songs. Often compared to The Japanese House, Wolf Alice and DIIV, they've built a reputation for immersive live performances that favour connection over spectacle.
Following appearances at The Great Escape, Live at Leeds and Dot to Dot Festival, the band have sold out their 200-cap hometown headline show, toured with Slow Crush, Pale Blue Eyes and The Howl & The Hum, and received support from BBC Introducing Yorkshire, Amazing Radio and the UK independent music press.

Why this works
Tailored for labels and managers. Prioritises audience growth, release activity, team structure and long-term career development alongside the music. Unlike the booking EPK, the emphasis is on evidence that the project is growing rather than proving the band can deliver a great live show.
