Press Reviews Yellow Stripe Nine - The Cockpit, Leeds - 01/11/02 "They're new, they're talented, they definitely rock....and they don't begin with 'The'. There are two marks of a good live band; one, that all the songs are original and distinctive, and two, that the audience are left begging for more. Both of these happened when Yellow Stripe Nine played at the Cockpit last Friday. Being the first band of the evening, they had the unenviable task of warming up the crowd - and they definitely succeeded. The band - consisting of Pete Bott on vocals and guitar, with Tom Booth on bass, guitarist Joe Anderson and Mitch Mitchell-style drummer James Knox - had the sort of charisma that usually you only see in seasoned rock performers. The songs contained a huge range of styles; imagine if Idlewild, Coldplay and the Foo Fighters and a load of guitars were washed up on an island together (what do you mean unlikely??) and you'd have some idea of how varied their sound is. Although they are effectively a rock band in the traditional sense; plenty of guitar and loud vocals, the excellent 'Take It From Me' brought the pace down a notch, a catchy little number worthy of the Beta Band. Pete's voice carried well over the music, and reminded me of a strange and interesting morph of Chris Martin and the late, great Joey Ramone. I could try and describe the band through music I have heard before, but that would be silly and pointless when what I am trying to get across is that they have a sound which is entirely their own. From the soft and melodic 'Into The Sun' to the loud and lively 'My Rhythm and Blues' which showed off the band's acoustic skills to full advantage, no two songs were the same and I was genuinely disappointed when their set was over. For a relatively new band they looked comfortable on stage and their enthusiasm was infectious, making for a great atmosphere and a memorable performance. How is it that a record label can pay the equivalent of Richard Branson's yearly income for Robbie Williams (why oh why?), but these guys haven't been discovered yet?" - Katie Jenkins
