Esper Scout

Esper Scout are a rock band based in Leeds driven by empowering, characterful guitars and bass, passionate lyrical content and dynamic drums. Born from Kirsty and Sarah's bond as teenage friends (while unknowingly playing sport against their decade later drummer-to-be Abbi, of a rival school), the two started their first band in Manchester with bassist Rebecca. The trio have been constantly writing, recording and touring in various line-ups together since 2005, with the welcome addition of Abbi in 2015. Becoming Esper Scout in 2011 their sound is bold and engaging, with songs and performances that drift through varying moods. Strengthened by a sense of cause and purpose aided by a strong, honest will to unite people. The band's direct, focused attitude both live and in the studio leaves audiences drawn in, hooked and willingly shook up by the four piece. The band have toured with The Cribs and the Wytches, supporting others such as Shonen Knife, Screaming Females and La Luz. Since releasing 'In Foreign', their first single in their current formation, the band has developed a continuing contribution to the Leeds musicians and artists' DIY co-op practice space/venue 'Chunk'. In May 2016 their comment on creativity during the Cold War 'Gaps in the Border Fence' came out on singles label Come Play With Me. Singles 'Compass' and 'Dividing Marks' have seen Esper Scout stand on firm ground in 2017, with their first full-length due in 2018. www.esperscout.bandcamp.com www.soundcloud.com/esperscout www.esperscout.com www.facebook.com/esperscout www.twitter.com/esperscout Instagram: @esperscout Manchester raised, Leeds grown. www.esperscout.bandcamp.com Bomb the Twist DIY
