Who are the Sunshine Underground?

Band members Craig Wellington, Stuart Jones, Daley Smith and Matthew Gwilt are now living and working in Leeds.

The band formed while studying at New College, Telford. After New College the band moved to Woodhouse in Leeds where they started to develop to develop their sound. They sold out venues in London and Leeds on their first headline tour and went from strength to strength.

Work on their debut album, Raise the Alarm, was completed in May 2006 and was released on August 28, 2006. They appeared on the 2006 spring/summer European festival circuit.

The band went on to play even more gigs, at increasingly large venues throughout the UK, including cities like Glasgow, Preston, Barnsley and London.

Most notably they played the Other Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in June and played a headline set on the future stage at T in the Park in July and performed at the Leeds/Reading Festival, playing on the NME stage.
