The Leeds indie band English Teacher have won the Mercury prize for their debut album, This Could Be Texas. Formed in 2020, the four-piece formed at Leeds Conservatoire and signed to Island records to release their first album.
In a 9/10 review for website the Line of Best Fit, critic Kieran Macadie said that the band set themselves apart from their post-punk peers, many of whom hail from south London, thanks to their “northern charm”.
