About

Leeds Party Punks INTERNATIONAL TRUST have already garnered a "demo of the week" in NME, been given rave reviews in industry mag Music Week and The Fly, and secured themselves a slot at the prestigious Carling Festival in Leeds in August 2007.

 

With just two releases to their name, the brilliantly overlooked single "Bruce Lee" and the 4 track "Talk of the Town" EP, both of which have received R1 / R6 airplay via Huw Stephens and Lamacq, International Trust led by Neil Hanson are on a mission to prove that there really is "something" in the water in Leeds. Coming across like a schizophrenic version of the Pogues meets the Pistols, International Trust are set to record a further 2 songs for a single release in early 2008 with plans for their debut album to follow later in 2008, so keep your ears to the ground !

Press Quotes

”I Can't Believe You Fell In Love” is as epic as Arab Strap playing stadium rock. Leave work now, go home, draw the curtains, drink some whiskey, put this on and text your ex – it's for the best. - Alex Miller (NME) – Demo of the Week


So it is with Leeds' International Trust, who deliver an insistently gravely, pop-indie-punk growl that speaks of short-lived liaisons, gossip-mongers and burst brain-boils as it revels in its fuckup fizz. As befits songwriters of this calibre, this is way above average and, oooooh, not a half-inched Squeeze riff in sight, neither  - Joe Shooman - Music Week

 

International Trust don't give a flying fuck; after years as bystanders they've gazed through the detritus of other's posturing and image; experience has allowed them to hone what really matters - the simplistic immediacy and balls-out lyrical honesty of a life affirming, nicotine-compulsive tune. New single "Talk of the Town" might physically clock in at less than three minutes but it will be in your head for the next decade. Dave Beveridge (The Fly) – Live Review

 

Great music has been made on drugs. But what if someone made a pop song that WAS A DRUG?! By Jesus, the Daily Mail would have an orgy. Thankfully, the closest anyone's getting to it for now is Leeds band International Trust. Their current single ‘Bruce Lee' has a luminous but slightly frazzled keyboard hook that results in an instant ‘perk' in spirits, but thankfully stops short of causing pale skin, teeth rattling and imaginary monsters. Ric Rawlins (Artrocker)
