IT’S HERE. HIO is proud to premiere the brand new debut full-length album from surviving Leatherface members Frankie Stubbs and Graeme Philliskirk, who’ve undergone a powerful trans-Atlantic partnership with Hugo Mudie of The Sainte Catherines to form Roach Squad.

In the world of underground punk rock, this is the modern day equivalent of when Stiv and Brian (RIP) formed Lords of the New Church, or when Nick and Blixa formed the Bad Seeds, or when Johnny, Willie, Kris and Waylon started The Highwaymen. For Leatherface fans, this the best news we could’ve hoped for since the passing of Dickie Hammond, as the spirit of the Sunderland four remains intact and shining as bright as ever thanks to this batch of top-notch, true-to-form, and absolutely perfect songs courtesy Little Rocket Records.

Like the band specifically requests via this morning’s international press release: “who knows what you expect, but what we do ask of you before listening is that you find your comfortable spot, abandon any preconceptions, and as always, play it loud.”

Join HIO today to have access to this album along with an ever-expanding catalog of some of the best, new independent music. HIO is free to use, free to listen and free to upload.
