Eagulls + Protomartyr + Life

LIFERS DIY in association with 13 Artists presents: EAGULLS + PROTOMARTYR + LIFE

EAGULLS
Beginning as a swaggering, punk-inspired outfit, Leeds' Eagulls moved rapidly through the Leeds music scene, winning plaudits and fans with their unapologetic, chaotic brand of guitar-driven music, and in early 2011 they released their 7" single "Council Flat Blues" through Not Even Records.

The album quickly sold out of its first pressing and continued to reach new ears in subsequent pressings as the band toured more and got more press, signing to Hardly Art for the release of 2014's Under Color of Official Right, a more exploratory sophomore album. In October 2015 Protomartyr returned with a third studio album, The Agent Intellect, followed by an international tour in support of the release.
