Leeds: the city of a thousand haircuts, and countless criminal misdemeanours; a city as much dismissing as it is welcoming; a city of fortune, the beacon of the North; a melting pot of mixed reactions; a quasi-Metropolis. The surrogate home of Tract.

The requirements are that the band challenge, inspire, and excite themselves with whatever music they produce or induce. They're a curious, honest and passionate folk. Tract doesn’t care too much for musical fashions or trends; Tract is not a “The” band; Tract is not a tongue-in-cheek retro rock n roll outfit; Tract does not play funk; Tract is not a pose; Tract does not have delusions of grandeur; Tract simply creates its own space and fills it however it wants to.

Tract was born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, in 2001. After a number of gigs around the UK, and some line-up refinement, it now stands as a three-piece. The drums are vibrantly tickled and boshed by Jason Howard, a youthful veteran of the Halifax music scene and rhythmic genius. Bass guitarist and vocalist #1 is Liz Hunter, an excitable guru-ette of low frequencies, heroine of Stoke music, and keen Ani Difranco fanatic. Guitarist and vocalist #2 is Dan Kiener, a sprightly geek rocker, one-time artist, and music junky from Shakespeare’s Stratford on Avon.In their own words: "We have our lives ahead of us."
