Leather - Demo




Artist: Leather
Album: Demo
Release: 2009
Label: Self-Released

Tracklist:

1. Addicted To Suffering
2. No Motivation
3. Ejaculation Without Orgasm
4. Too Tired


This tape was introduced to me as "heavy negative-filled noise pollution from Philadelphia" and the tag is pretty appropriate. Unsurprisingly, this Philly-based band contains members who claim the Rust Belt as their bloodland. Leather plays dirty, grungy, pseudo-hardcore punk shit that sounds like some of the more well-known bands from the area (Pissed Jeans, Fresh Meat, etc.), only a little harder. Truthfully, I'm not so well-versed in the whole dilapidated, ex-industrial city scene of PA's music, so I'm probably just talking out of my ass.

Bunk-ass descriptions aside, this demo is really fucking good. For the past week, I've found myself listening to this over and over. The vocals thoroughly creep me out and the frenetic feel of the music makes me feel scummy. I actually had a friend of a roommate knock on my door and ask me what the fuck I was listening to before walking off and muttering about how I listened to terrible music. It's THAT good.

Listen to this and get judged by PC punx.
