Bio
We
set out in late 2012, as four best friends, to write the dirtiest
stoner metal we could. Playing in mostly punk and hardcore bands
prior to Leather Lung, we made it a point to bring those influences
to the table. Through countless days/nights in a cramped jam space,
ingesting untold amounts of weed and whiskey, Leather Lung was born.
This is heavy music we can relate to. .

Review:
Leather
Lung's debut EP – Reap What You Sow – is a weedian filled take on
Punk/Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal . So that's the usual suspects there.
Hard-hitting riffs dedicated to the mighty weed. This EP is a blast
from start to finish. Loud, violent and in your face pounding with
dope-filled smoky haze to drown your soul to.
Opening
track – Burning Out – is a snarling Sludge/Stoner beast with
Punk/Hardcore overtones to give Leather Lung's sound extra bite. The
riffs come thick and fast with the band on fine form through out. The
EP sounds superb which is no surprise since it was mastered by Brad
Boatright. So you know it's gonna sound good with Brad on board.
Leather Lung add smoky fuzz to their sound especially on the later
tracks which gives them an addictive and violent edge which you will
easily be addicted to in double quick time.
Green
Bitch – takes an urban warfare approach to Sludge/Stoner Metal with
the Doom Metal based vocals from Mike making this one dangerous crazy
psychedelic weedian trip. It's cool to see a band actually trying to
do some different with their sound and Leather Lung have succeeded by
adding Punk/Hardcore vibes to the usual Sludge/Stoner metal riffs.
The
standout track has to be Repack/Relight which oozes deadly doom and
gloom atmospherics even if it's drenching in deadly addictive fuzz
overtones. The riffs take a more sinister turn as Leather Lung slowly
take their time in building up the atmosphere for one massive high.
Yeah this is some great riffs. A great end to a hard rocking and
awesome EP. Check it out for yourselves as this is available on
BandCamp Buy Now Download. You won't be sorry.
