The group are based in Bologna, but all hail from different towns in Italy. These five young men – singer/guitarist Michele, bassist Marco, drummer Francesco, guitarist Andrea and saxophonist Jacopo – are united by a profound need to make music, to express themselves naturally and honestly. The group bonded over wildly differing influences – everything from midwestern emo gods American Football, to Berlin-era Bowie, to James Chance & The Contortions, to rap and electronic music – to create a dense, passionate, articulate sound of their own. You can file them near fiery post-punk kindreds like Shame and Squid, or unhinged 90s noisers like Unwound or Hoover, or squalling No Wavers like James Chance, but the truth is there are few bands like Leatherette that walk this Earth. Their first full-length, Fiesta follows an EP, Mixed Waste, recorded during lockdown. The songs on Fiesta precede the Covid era, though the group spent the pandemic rewriting and overhauling their maiden batch of songs at leisure. The result is an astonishing and remarkable debut: poetic, caterwauling, broken and beautiful. The album title is “a reference to the bullfights in Pamplona,” the group say. It’s no empty metaphor. “Bullfight is a strange ritual,” they elaborate. “And we’re against bullfights, but they’re fascinating in an iconographic way. And also metaphorically, violence flows on both sides, but in a feastful way. It’s similar to a concert, really – you’re expressing violent things, in a physical way. And people react to that, which is wonderful, which is fantastic.” Artist Leatherette Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Bronson Recordings Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Come Clean So Long Dead, Well… Fiesta Cut Fly Solo No Way Thin Ice Play Sunbathing Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Kagoule Strange Entertainment Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Alcopop | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th October 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kagoule Strange Entertainment £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Alcopop SKU: ALCOPOP174X Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View RVG A Quality of Mercy – Indies Only Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fat Possum | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th July 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders RVG A Quality of Mercy – Indies Only £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP16734 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Speedy Wunderground – Year 4 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Speedy Wunderground | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 6th December 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Speedy Wunderground – Year 4 £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Speedy Wunderground SKU: SWY4LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Glands, The The Glands Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | New West | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th February 2022 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Glands, The The Glands £29.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: New West SKU: LPNW5540LEC Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Infinite X's Infinite X’s Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Jealous Butcher | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 5th February 2021 £20.00 Select options Infinite X's Infinite X’s £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Jealous Butcher Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th February 2021 Read More Select options Matt's picks View Product Quick View Garden Centre A Moon For Digging Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Specialist Subject | 1LP Released 29th November 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Garden Centre A Moon For Digging £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Specialist Subject SKU: SPS076 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Horseback Dead Ringers Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Relapse | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 12th August 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Horseback Dead Ringers £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Relapse SKU: RR72491 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ratboys Gn Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Topshelf | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th June 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ratboys Gn £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Topshelf SKU: LPTSR170C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sniffany & The Nits The Unscratchable Itch Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Prah Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th March 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sniffany & The Nits The Unscratchable Itch £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Prah Recordings SKU: PRAH051LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Acetone 1992-2001 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Light In The Attic | 180g, 2LP Released 22nd September 2017 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Acetone 1992-2001 £29.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA159LP Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 22nd September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
