Leiah

Swedish indie rock / emo band, formed in 1998 in Gävle. And off we go... It was the final words and song on the album ”Sound and Diversity” (2002). A 12 minute indie rock infused nod to Floyd’s ”The Piper at the Gates of Dawn”. Maybe it was a fitting end for a band tangled up in a 6 year long roller coaster ride. After sharing stages and festivals with bands such as At the Drive-In, As Friends Rust, Grade, The Get Up Kids and Hot Water Music the band suddenly felt lost. Living in the afterburner of their high school years the band called it quits by early 2004. Celebrating 20 years of music (1998-2018). Come 2018 and a local newspaper asks for an interview. Four different individuals meet up and a spark is lit. ”Some 20 years ago, it was all about having fun and to escape reality a few hours a week.” - David Lehnberg Today the band gather under the same vision, ready to share their musical outcome of mixing emopunk and 90:is indie rock. The first new song in 16 years will be released on the 27th of July. Written and recorded in sonic continuity from where they once paused. New music will be followed by limited vinyl versions of earlier albums. The fire is lit again, let’s see what the future holds. Members: Joakim Eriksson - guitar Gunnar Forsman - drums Anders Gustavsson - drums David Lehnberg - guitar, vocals Ann-Sofie Lundin - bass
