When people think of musicians from Sheffield, Arctic Monkeys are usually the first act that springs to mind. However anyone from the Steel City will tell you there's far more to music here than Alex Turner & Co. Here's 6 artists you might not have realised are from Sheffield:

Toddla T

Thomas Mackenzie Bell (better known as house DJ Toddla T) first made a name for himself with his 2009 debut 'Skanky Skanky', featuring guest appearances from the likes of Tinchy Stryder and Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders. He's since spawned his own clothing line, produced for artists such as Skepta and Wiley and played shows across Europe, North America and Australia. Not bad for a lad from Sheffield.

Reverend and the Makers

If you've played any of the FIFA game franchise in the last few years then there's a strong chance you've heard at least one song by Sheffield's Reverend and The Makers. Combining hip-hop beats with indie-rock melody, the band have achieved mainstream success with hits such as 'Shine a Light' and 'Heavyweight Champion of the a World'. As frontman Jon 'The Rev' McClure would tell you, there's no better band to fly the flag for music in Sheffield right now.

Bring Me The Horizon

Formed by the members of several Sheffield-based hardcore outfits, Bring Me The Horizon are perhaps the most famous metal act to ever come out of South Yorkshire. Led by distinctive tattooed frontman Oli Sykes, the band achieved their first mainstream UK success with the release of their second album 'Suicide Silence'. Since then, the band have shifted to a more melodic alt-metal approach and their 2015 track 'Throne' remains their biggest hit to date.

Def Leppard

The defining hard rock band of the 80s, Def Leppard were about as famous for their striking glam rock appearances as their crazy live performances. Launched to international stardom with hits like 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', it was Sheffield where the band originally hailed from and on Yorkshire's famous 'Snake Pass' where drummer Rick Allen tragically lost his arm in a freak car accident. In true rock 'n' roll style, Allen learnt to play drums one-handed and is still rocking to this day.

The Human League

One of first acts to lead the wave of synthesisers and electronica into mainstream pop in the 1880s was Sheffield's-own The Human League. Forming in the Steel City in 1977 before briefly becoming Heaven 17 in the early 80s, the band made their breakthrough with 'Don't You Want Me' and went on the achieve international stardom in both the UK and US with their innovative use of synth and electronics. 

Pulp

Before Arctic Monkeys overnight rise stardom the most famous band associated with Sheffield was undoubtably Pulp. Fronted by infamous icon Jarvis Cocker, the group's distinctive synth-pop sound and unique lyrical style gave them huge success in the 1990s, most notably on their 1996 release 'Different Class'. Hits such as 'Common People' and 'Disco 2000' painted a vivid picture of working class life that many might not realise were inspired by stories on the real streets of mighty Sheffield.
