Album:

LEASH EYE is a Hard Southern Rock band from Warsaw in Poland formed in 1996. Guys have released 3 albums: first “V.E.N.I.” in 2009, second “V.I.C.I.” and third in 2013 “Hard Truckin' Rock”.“Fight The Monster” majestically ignited the band’s faculty of straight up Rock N’ Roll tangling energetic riffs, slow tempo burning and a melodic collective of licks. After the former, “Me & Mr. Beam” and “S.B.F. Anthem” follows the same patterns, yet with a bit up tempo display, pumping blood to one’s heart. For a while there I could feel the fun in the music as I am sure that it was making it. “The Drag” is Southern Rock, and played to near perfection, especially with the Hammond on display. “On The Run” is a stony gloom feature with low tuned guitars and slower pace al’a BLACK SABBATH. “Been Too Long” is a nice ballad similar to something out of DEEP PURPLE’s guidelines, accommodating acoustic guitars at the intro point with a soothing mood building up to a fine heaviness, the vocals of Sebb reminded me of DAMAGEPLAN, especially their song “Save Me”. Furthermore, and that is something interesting, lyrically LEASH EYE on “Twice Betrayed” pays tribute to Polish airmen who took part in the Battle of England. This fast tempo vehemence is perfect for a drive by in your car, simply ecstatic. Also worth to listen are: “Passing Lane Blues” in a rockin’ climate with several notations of WHITESNAKE, “The Nightmare Ain't Over” kick it Stoner along with groovy PANTERA style riffs, ballad “Never Enough” with beautiful violin cradling fast melodic Rock N’ Roll in “Doin' It All Wrong”.My countrymen LEASH EYE played it out amazingly. Their music is powerful, lots of determination, rather taken by American Southern Rock / Hard Rock. The album is well done, catchy, memorable, hard hitting and generally enjoyable to listen. Fans of the Rock vibe including the stony stuff will be hooked. I'm looking forward for LEASH EYE’s more of these guys.

The material was recorded and realized at Nebula Studio in Warsaw in July and August 2018. Maciej Karbowski took up the registration, and Haldor Grundberg from the Satanic Studio mix and master it.

Album:

The Warsaw Leash Eye celebrated the 20th anniversary of the uprising last year. In the first week of January the band bragged in the end (since the premiere of "Hard Truckin 'Rock" has passed almost 6 years) with a new album. A special disc for at least several reasons.First and foremost, the band has two significant rotations: Marcin Bidziński plays the drums here, who was perfectly placed in the composition, proposing definitely more broken passages from his predecessor, Łukasz Konarski, who preferred the traditional attack on 4/4. Before the premiere, however, I was most excited about the change in the position of the vocalist. Sebastian Pańczyk, who sang on all of the previous Leash Eye albums, replaced the voice with a different tone of voice, known from Steel Habit Łukasz Podgórski. It is known that the loss of a charismatic frontman hurts, but the new one took over the legacy of his predecessor almost painlessly, and besides, he had the opportunity to attend concerts for the last year.There is much more rock progression on this album than on the previous ones. The group already has jumps in these more epic areas (eg "Her Rose's Flavor" from "V.I.D.I."), but here we have their accumulation. You can hear from this material that it was made for a long period of time and was pampered in every detail. It starts with a powerful "Bones", whose main riff is associated a little with Deep Purple's "Knocking At Your Back Door". After such a delicious start, it can only be better. And is! Podgórski's seemingly raped vocal in "Moonshine Pioneers" is a patent that is to be searched for on CDs with Pańczyk in vain. This solution combined with the company's dense foundation works well, and the same number drills into memory no worse than leasheye evergreens like "The Nightmover" or "Open Up, Chris". Another delicious flavor is the slimy entry "Planet Terror". It perfectly highlights the "southern" character of the band's work. This piece is my favorite on the album, I really like such multi-layered compositions. I also like "Jackie Chevrolet", with such quick and specific shots Leash Eye is also famous.Undoubtedly, one of the key elements of the band's sound is Hammondy by Piotr Sikora. He, in turn, has his five minutes here in "One Last Time", which he decorated with a truly Jonlonian introduction. I have always liked the cooperation of guitar and organ in this band, it forms the basis of the unique sound of the capital quintet. While on the previous albums between the two pillars, the balance in the mix was preserved, here in some songs you can hear the string exhibition ("Jackie Chevrolet", "Well Oiled Blues"), and in other keys ("Planet Terror", "One Last Time" ").The group returned as it should return. They recorded something a bit different than I expected from them, and I really like being surprised, so it can only be counted as a plus. It was worth to wait out this drought time to finally be able to enjoy this great album. I hope that with the premiere of the band's album, it will also intensify its concert activity, because it has also been poor in recent years.

Album:

Leash Eye’s combination of dirty guitars, a powerful rhythm section, real Rock vocals, and perhaps the dirtiest Hammond organ sound on the modern scene creates a mix the band calls “Hard Truckin’ Rock”.Active since 1996, the band recently moved away from Modern Metal production values, opting for a more raw and organic sound, while retaining everything that makes up Leash Eye’s unique character – influences from Southern Rock and Classic Rock, plus a touch of Stoner.The new album will be available on streaming services and Digital stores (already presented on Bandcamp) on March 11th, while the physical CD will make its debut the next day, on Leash Eye’s 25th Anniversary show in Warsaw, Poland, and will begin shipping the following week.
