Leatherface were a British punk rock band from Sunderland, fronted by Frankie Stubbs. Trouser Press have called them "England's finest, most exciting punk band of the 90s" ==History and background== Formed in August 1988, Leatherface released four full-length albums before their initial split in 1993. Third album ''Mush'' was, according to Allmusic, "one of the most intense records of the 90s, with some of the fiercest playing and song dynamics.. considered one of the best albums of the decade." The band split in late 1993, – releasing a posthumous mini album (''The Last'') the following year – but reformed in 1998, after the death of bass player Andy Crighton (also of Snuff). Four more albums followed between 1999 and 2012.〔 Leatherface's music has been described as a cross between Hüsker Dü and Motörhead, a notable element being Stubbs' rasping, "gravelly" vocals.〔 The lyrics often feature far-fetched similes, metaphors, word play and obscure allusions. Though never attaining much more than a cult following outside their native country, the band have been cited as an influence by higher-profile punk acts such as Hot Water Music and Dillinger Four. Rubber Factory Records released a tribute album to Leatherface in 2008, featuring 41 tracks by over 35 artists from several different countries who were influenced by the band, including Hot Water Music and The Sainte Catherines. Their cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" was played in the final episode of ''Sons of Anarchy''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leatherface (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
