Leatherface, hailing from Sunderland, formed in 1988, have left their mark in the Punk Rock halls of fame. Their catalogue is of the highest quality, from Cherry Knowle in 89 to Mush in 91 to Stormy Petrel in 2010. They have a perfect blend of hardcore and post-hardcore sounds, sometimes described as a mix between Hüsker Dü and Motörhead, and have inspired many bands across the world, including the likes of Hot Water Music.
This album captures Leatherface recording three sessions in the 90’s for none other than the great John Peel which, spans parts of their early career, hurtling you through the heady days of Radio and the privileged few who have ever walked the BBC Maida Vale recording studios, at the request of Mr. Peel himself.
The front cover of the album itself defines one of their greatest periods, with a photograph taken by the famed Photographer and Musician Steve Gullick, without doubt Steve’s Photographic genius sets the tone for what has been captured and now Little Rocket Records brings these sessions to you. Sleeve notes by Sean Forbes (Rugger Bugger Records / Wat Tyler / Hard Skin etc.) round it off perfectly.
