Night Herons are a band from Leeds, England that consists Clare Kelly (lead vocals), Joe Armitage (lead guitar and synth), Chris Warr (rhythm guitar), Tom Kelly (bass guitar) and Will Ashton (drums). Having starting as four piece in the summer of 2007, the addition of Clare Kelly later that year, performing lead vocals, completed the band. Together they combine ear splitting guitar riffs, vocal melodies, drum fills and the occasional distinguishing synth line in their energetic live performances, playing regularly across the Leeds and Bradford area.

Reviews

This seven track demo relates to the more modern indie band but with more personality and a more individual and unique sound. This is particularly emphasized by the lead female vocals, sounding similar to early Debbie Harry particularly on 'Systematic Error', which gives each track a more distinctive sound in comparison to its peers. - Sandman Magazine

Night Herons are back with a new sound and a fresh set of songs. The Leeds five piece create an original sound fusing the vocal styles of La roux with a kind epic Joy Division style guitar section. - Beep! Magazine

Deep and resounding. - Annie Mac of Radio 1
