LEECHES STRANGER

'Stranger' is the first single from Dorset shredders LEECHES' brand new EP WATUSI, which lands this Friday (12th) on new Bristol-based label Leisure Records. We covered their brilliant live video of 'BOB ROSS' back in November, and having gigged relentlessly across the South West over the last year or two, LEECHES are starting to gain the momentum they deserve. 'Stranger' is proof of this with its viscous guitar riffs, which blur the line between garage-rock and grunge, thundering drumbeats and wailing, melancholy vocals, resulting in a potent mixture of Nirvana and Radiohead-inspired noise with a hint of Wand thrown in for good measure. LEECHES will embark on a UK-wide tour starting at London's Shacklewell Arms on the 16th of January. -HLMX
