Monday 27th May Top Pick – Indoor Pets @ Oporto, Leeds

What venue are they playing?

Oporto, LS1 7BT https://www.oportobar.co.uk/

How much is it?

Have an energy filled evening for £14.30. Indoor Pets are powerful, proud and punchy. Blending elements of indie-rock with pop-punk and metal, you might headbang so hard you get whiplash (this happened to me once). Their biggest track, Pathetic Apathetic goes from zero to sixty in a faster time than any F1 car; their non stop noise and thrashing riffs are certainly not to be missed.
