Leeds underground has definitely been decent. I've made very little effort w/Vibracathedral and still really enjoyed them, Astral Social Club too. They get my vote.

God, I've got a BIlge Pump single. A split seven inch of Modern Lovers covers. Completely forgot about them. Will definitely investigate Hood properly though, given the love they're getting on this thread.

Oh, and thought LFO were South Yorks. Certainly I was living in Leeds when they first started out, and they were always associated with the Leadmill rather than the Warehouse. Think Nightmares on Wax might have been Leeds, though I may be mistaken.

Quite a good feature in the Guardian about some of the above bands.
