While still at primary school, Peter Hirst discovered that he had a natural affinity for the drums, and by age 10 had started writing his own songs, mostly about his first love – the railway.  Roping his dad in on guitar meant the band were not hindered by lockdown, their debut live appearance being a Facebook live stream in February 2021 which gained hundreds of viewers, one of whom was a local promoter who offered Indignation Meeting the chance to play at the Brudenell when covid restrictions were lifted. Peter, still only 12 – possibly the youngest artist to play that hallowed stage – rose to the challenge magnificently, and the band have been gigging regularly ever since, mostly around Leeds, but also as far afield as Brighton, Hitchin and even Bradford. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Trouble In The Shed\u003c\/i\u003e contains 14 self-penned songs, covering a myriad of topics including railways, diesel locomotives, steam trains, rolling stock, swingball, more railways, Leeds and Cybill Shepherd.  Peter’s main influences – Blyth Power, Zounds, The Astronauts, and Half Man Half Biscuit – are evident in some of his songs, but most are startlingly original - his lyrics are witty and imaginative, and he has a good ear for a catchy tune – there are several earworms on \u003ci\u003eTrouble In the Shed\u003c\/i\u003e which will stay in your head for weeks!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damaged Goods","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50465256997195,"sku":"2207177","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50465256800587,"sku":"2005025","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/front_cover_7f2f5871_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727284050"},{"product_id":"that-leeds-feeling-43924","title":"That Leeds Feeling \/  43924","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing on from their successful debut album\u003ci\u003e Trouble In The Shed\u003c\/i\u003e, Indignation Meeting release their first 7” single featuring a new studio recording of live favourite That Leeds Feeling backed with 43924. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The title That Leeds Feeling was inspired by a poster that Peter saw after a Half Man Half Biscuit concert at Leeds Uni which invited alumni to “Keep That Leeds Feeling, forever”; it seemed to fit perfectly with ideas he already had for a song about his home city. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  43924 is an instrumental version of 41241, which pays homage to a KWVR steam locomotive, and showcases 14 year-old lead singer Peter’s uncanny ability to play trumpet and drums simultaneously (we don’t know for certain if this was how it was recorded, but go and see them live if you are sceptical!) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The 7” is limited to just 175 copies in this format, which comes with a full-colour insert and in a special poly sleeve exclusive to this release.

The rest of the crew is his dad Michael on guitar, Hugo on bass, and with Keith, Heather and Sally often along for the ride when they play out. Here at DGHQ we loved listening to their self-released debut album Trouble In The Shed so much we eventually released it on vinyl for the first time in August to coincide with their appearance at Rebellion Festival. They now have a second album! A Model World is out in November on CD and limited-edition RED vinyl LP. Vocalist\/drummer Peter very kindly talks us through the (train) tracks… the Trainspotting Song Now, as a train geek, I go out filming trains an awful lot, and one thing you can’t help noticing whilst out in the wilds of Staffordshire or the moors of Lancashire are a whole load of unnecessary ‘Private Land’ signs.
