Northern Uproar is tagged as: britpop, british, 90s, rock, uk Northern Uproar are an English rock band from Stockport. With a career spanning only two years from formation to original dissolution, the group initially drew some hype and praise from the British music press but were soon forgotten. They also became the subject of a degree of ridicule, for their sometimes loutish appearance and behaviour. They were described as a cross between Oasis, The Clash and the Manic Street Preachers. Northern Uproar reformed in 2006 and released a new album in 2007. The band formed in 1995 with Leon Meya (vocalist, bassist), Paul Kelly (guitarist), Jeff Fletcher (guitarist), and Keith Chadwick (drummer). Still in their teens and without a recording contract, the band drew praise from the music magazines NME and Melody Maker, following several energetic live performances at the Roadhouse in Manchester. After a bidding war, the group eventually signed with Heavenly Records and decamped to Monnow Valley Studio in Monmouth to record songs with Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield (producer) and Dave Eringa (co-producer). The band released their first single, “Rollercoaster”, in late 1995. The track hit number 41 on the UK Singles Chart. The group’s next single, “From a Window”, peaked at number 17....
