LEATHER.HEAD + EX AGENT + FOOT FOOT

LEATHER.HEAD • www.instagram.com/leather.head_

leather.head are a five-piece band made up of siblings Toby, Josh and Aidan alongside close friends Charlie and Cole. Formed in Brighton in 2016, the band grew from DIY roots driven by a desire to challenge the lack of racial diversity in their local scene, learning their instruments onstage while playing early house and community shows.

Now based in London, leather.head create raw, politically charged, genre-blurring music that draws from post-rock, slowcore, screamo and experimental metal. Following a run of singles, an EP and a live record, their debut album mud again is out now via Toby’s micro-label 2horse Records.

Recorded live with longtime collaborator Jamie Neville at Teeth Studios, the album captures the band in their most natural state — intense, emotional and unpredictable — moving from crushing heaviness to moments of fragility, united by a fierce DIY spirit and deep collective energy.

Sitting restlessly between post-rock and free-jazz, Ex Agent throw together dissonant symphonies of sax and piano alongside frantic guitars, drums, and vocals. Combining elements of gonzo journalism, punk, and jazz; the five piece sprinkle a taste of noir into a salty No Wave cacophony.

FOOT FOOT • www.instagram.com/footfootband

foot foot are an emerging bristol underground band who draw on the traditions of folk, math-rock and discordant post-rock to produce their intricate brand of songcraft, creating moments of intimate melancholy before launching into fast, jagged rhythms. their use of contrast -- indie-flecked songwriting with irregular, winding passages, or rich violin and vocal melodies with avant-jazz freakouts -- has marked them out as one of the scenes most innovative and impactful acts.

following a sold out headline at Rough Trade, supporting acts like Deerhoof and Horse Jumper of Love, foot foot released their debut album 'still waters, empty house' earlier this year to critical acclaim.
