Leatherman - Turn You On LP
Legless Records
With ideas melted together in the bedroom studios of guitar obsessed nerds, songs forged in the rehearsal studios of Frankston, Yarraville and Brunswick, filed down in the best and loudest dive bars of Melbourne/Naarm, then refined, recorded and polished into their first full length record - rock’n’rollers Leatherman present to you their debut album “Turn You On” out April on Legless Records in Australia, This Charming Man in the UK/EU and Green Noise in the US.
The quintet features a lineup of rockers brought together via a love of melody-driven rock and roll - if you imagine the finest 70’s guitar-mony laden anthems, the stomp and gallop of 80’s metal gods and classic power pop hooks fused with modern kicks, perhaps you’ll get the idea. Jarrod Goon, Jake Laderman, Shauna Boyle and Ben Redlich each hold rock and roll resumes of note, while new-comer Annabel Brown punches in with a voice that gets you wondering “where have you been all my life?”
Leatherman are a band that aims to get you punching the air, tapping your toes and banging that head, then planting that ear-worm melody you won’t be able to shake for days. “Turn You On” features a lineup of songs about partying, freaking out, true crime, taking the piss out of footy players, lust and heartbreak. A band that emphasizes the good time and encourages the listener to remember the reason why we do it all in the first place - to have fun and forget the troubles of your day.
