It's a tall order to describe Leatherface in a single paragraph, given the seemingly monumental footprint they've left on our little world of DIY punk rock. They encompass everything there is to love about independent music - inventing a trademarked and unmistakable playing style, influencing and inspiring dozens of bands who have since risen to the top of the heap, and always maintaining their humility and integrity. Renowned for Stubbs' weathered yet melodic rasp and soaring Gordon Smith guitars, Leatherface (commonly referred to as the Boat) champion the working stiff above all else, a testament to their Sunderland heritage and unflinching perseverance. No CD export to Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
