Cards on the table: for me, Bad Amputee are quite simply the best band in the North East right now. Led by local folk luminaire Phil Tyler, the three-piece’s stark sonic palette and dulcet slowcore harmonies coalesce on some of the most mesmeric songs to come from the region in many a year; the best of which have already been laid down for their soon-to-be-released full-length debut.
“This is a song perhaps about things that did or didn’t happen in Northumberland one lost weekend,” is how Tyler explains their track.
