LEATHERFACE
MINX (FIRE RECORDS)
2022 reissue! Re-writing the rule book when it came to punk requisites, Leatherface combined passion, angst and power with undeniable songwriting and technical prowess.
Led by wordsmith Frankie Stubbs their explosive hooks and thrashing guitars quickly became their trademark and made them one of the most exhilarating UK bands of the 90s.
"Minx" followed "Mush", arriving at the peak of the band's career, 'Minx' channelled Stubbs' love for Joy Division and features their much loved fourth bassist, former Snuff band member Andy Crichton.
A lost classic, it brought with it a more emotional direction to their sound which was released on the brink of the band's hiatus.
