Not necessarily your usual Heartland fare, but these two bands really are excellent so, just for once (or twice or whatever!), I'll pimp something other that a Smurphs gig here!
THE LAST CRY + BERLIN BLACK
The Last Cry (as they are now) formed 4 years ago, taking their cues from bands like The Cure and Depeche Mode, fashioning a dark atmospheric and dramatic wall of sound which exhibits a coherency, intensity and emotional depth. The band recently released their incredible self-produced debut album 'Walking to the Edge' and last played Leeds to a packed Library in March.

Berlin Black began in 2008 when Chris Banshee (vocals and keyboards) wrote a collection of songs that didn't fit his then band, Screaming Banshee Aircrew. Since the latter's demise, Chris has turned Berlin Black into a full band, including some of his former Banshee bandmates. Berlin Black blur the line between post-punk and glam rock, influenced by "the classic goth bands such as Bauhaus and Siouxsie, along with the greats from the Glam rock era such as Bowie and Iggy Pop". But don't let 'glam rock' tag put you off, Berlin Black embrace the flambouyancy of glam, but their music has a very dark undertone, and a sense of subtlety you wouldn't associate with the genre.
