Cud

Emerging from the same art/design cauldron that produced fellow Leeds legends Soft Cell, Scritti Politti, and The Mekons, Cud were the pre-Britpop answer to doleful shoegazing bands – fun-loving, light-hearted, romantic and downright catchy.

Alternatively loved or loathed like a yeast extract, CUD are indie rock for the unpretentious pleasure seeker, boasting as they do the rich deep-lunged voice of Carl Puttnam, edgy guitars of Mike Dunphy and tight, funky rhythm section of William Potter, bass and Gogs Byrn, drums.

In 2012, CUD reunited with their original guitarist and key songwriter, Mike Dunphy, and the result is their first new material in 18 years, the perky 7” and download single 'Louise' b/w 'Mexico'.

To top this, CUD are playing two of their most popular albums in their entirety over two spring nights in Leeds.
