I Concur

about

I Concur formed in Leeds at the tail end of 2006 thanks to a shared love of American indie, slowcore and post rock - bands such as The National, Low, Wilco and Mogwai feature high on their list of influences. Comprised of Tim Hann (vocals/guitar), James Brunger (drums/vocals), Toby Page (bass) and Chris Woolford (guitar), the band’s first practices created a set of songs based on Hann’s abstract style of story telling. Tracks such as ‘Decimal Places’, written about the fraudulent research claims of the South Korean stem cell scientist Hwang Woo-suk, and ‘Exits Are Blockades’, which focused on the extinction of the prehistoric crocodile, came out of these initial song writing sessions. Their first gig, a low key affair at The Packhorse, Leeds, took place on 15th January 2007. The following May the band released their debut EP ‘Whatever it’s going to be’. After a high profile support with Scottish noise makers The Twilight Sad, and positive reviews from the often hard to please Drowned in Sound, they found themselves in the final of Leeds’ annual Futuresound competition. Their performance merited them with an opening slot for The Hold Steady in front of a 600 capacity sell-out crowd at the city’s Cockpit venue. I Concur’s ‘Decimal Places’ was then added to the latest compilation from renowned indie label Dance To The Radio which, entitled ‘Out of the Woods and Tress’, featured such acts as Howling Bells, Snowden, The Pigeon Detectives and the label’s founding band iForw
