I Concur was a Leeds-based English alternative rock group originating from West Yorkshire, England.
The band gained recognition for crafting lyrics that depicted distinctive narratives drawn from contemporary culture, addressing subjects such as Korean stem cell researcher Hwang Woo Suk ("Decimal Places"), the construction of the M62 motorway near Stott Hall Farm ("Build Around Me"), and the American television drama The Wire ("Sobotka").
Career
Established in late 2006, I Concur made their live debut at The Packhorse venue in Leeds during January 2007. Their initial release was the EP titled Whatever It's Going to Be issued in May 2007.
Following a support slot for The Hold Steady, they appeared on the independent label Dance To The Radio’s compilation Out of the Woods and Trees. In March 2008, they issued a limited edition 7" double A-side single, "Lucky Jack" / "Build Around Me", through Brew Records, which attracted airplay from Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1. The band received favorable reviews and coverage in the NME, resulting in a BBC Introducing session recorded at Maida Vale studios.
BBC Introducing confirmed their participation at the Reading and Leeds Festival in July 2008. That October, they released the single "Oblige", produced by Tom Woodhead of ¡Forward, Russia!.
In September 2009, I Concur signed with the London-based label Club AC30. Their debut album Able Archer and the single "Sobotka" were released in October to positive critical acclaim. Subsequently, the group took a hiatus from live shows to concentrate on creating new music.
After six years together, I Concur announced their disbandment in November 2012, shortly followed by the release of their final album, Burial Proof.
Tim Hann later embarked on a solo project under the name break_fold, unveiling an album in February 2017.
