This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.26.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:56, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''The Longcut''' are an [[England|English]] rock band, formed in 2002 in [[Manchester]].

==Career==
The Longcut formed in Manchester in 2002, while attending the [[University of Manchester]]. Originally a four-piece, their vocalist left soon after the band started and the remaining members intended to make purely instrumental music. In 2003 their experiments with cheap drum machines led to a new sound and their unusual stage setup. The band's original sound and energetic live performances brought them to the attention of the record industry in 2004, eventually signing to [[Liverpool]]'s [[Deltasonic]] label. During 2004 the band also became friends with Manchester promoters Akoustik Anarkhy and indie/grunge band, [[Nine Black Alps]]. The two groups shared bills together at various house parties (one in Longsight was filmed for the video to "Transition") organised by Akoustik Anarkhy and The Longcut, eventually touring together in early 2006.

The Longcut released their debut EP ''Transition'' in November 2004, followed by ''A Quiet Life'' in June 2005. Both EPs sold out and were well received by the music press. The band continued to tour throughout 2005, including appearances at [[SXSW]], [[Glastonbury Festival]] and [[Fuji Rock Festival]]. Work on their debut album, ''A Call and Response'', began in the summer of 2005. Production duties were handled by [[Jonny Dollar]], and was mixed by [[TV on the Radio]]'s [[David Andrew Sitek]]. A mini-album (a compilation of their UK EPs) was released internationally in 2006. 

''[[A Call and Response]]'' was released on 12 June 2006, followed by "Vitamin C" as a lead promotional single. "A Tried and Tested Method" would soon follow, and continued to attract album sales, released on 2 October. The single received more media coverage than any of their other releases to date, with the video being played frequently on a lot of the UK music channels. After ''A Call and Response'' the band released ''The Airtight Sessions'' EP, a compilation of the band's previous work and one new song "Idiot Check" making up the four-track listing. The EP was made available as a free download for all subscribers to the band's official site for a limited time, then made available for purchase at [[Apple Computer]]'s [[iTunes Store]].

The next release by the band was a [[7-inch single]] on the [[Melodic Records]] label, on 19 March 2007.  Limited to 500 copies, the [[double A-side]] featured "Idiot Check" (recorded at the sessions for ''A Call and Response'') and a cover of the [[Candi Staton]] rave track "[[You Got the Love]]".

Their second album, ''Open Hearts'', was produced by [[Nine Black Alps]] guitarist David Jones. It was released by Melodic Records as a download in June 2009, then on CD and LP in October.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/news/the-longcut/36050|title=The Longcut are back &#124; News &#124; NME.COM|website=[[NME]] |date=22 April 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080422011915/http://www.nme.com/news/the-longcut/36050|accessdate=23 July 2020|archive-date=22 April 2008))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://drownedinsound.com/releases/14490/reviews/4137461|title=Album Review: The Longcut - Open Hearts|website=DrownedInSound.com|accessdate=2020-04-01|archive-date=4 August 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090804092433/http://drownedinsound.com/releases/14490/reviews/4137461|url-status=dead))</ref> It was followed in 2010 by an EP, ''Broken Hearts'', consisting of remixes of songs from the album.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://thelongcut.com/lcwp/?page_id=68|title=Records &#124; The Longcut|website=Thelongcut.com|accessdate=2020-04-01))</ref>
