Lepers and Crooks, the Sydney-based 5-piece rockers have announced an east coast tour on the back of their impending single 'Let You Go'.
Their charismatic stage presence, easy-going nature and killer tunes have earned industry attention both in Australia and overseas tallying up an impressive 200 shows across 2014/15 and garnering a reputation as one of Australia's must-see live acts.
Triple M reckons, "Whatever it is, they have IT. When you see a band that works, no matter if it's the pub in Griffith or Wembley stadium. I've seen these guys, they have something special. I can't wait for Aussie music fans to experience it."
They took a break from touring towards the end of 2015 and retreatd to ‘The River House’, secluded on 100 acres just outside of Byron Bay to focus on writing and recording. The result was 'The Heathen Circus' which features six tracks produced by The Tea Party front man Jeff Martin due out later this year.
Martin said, "These 5 gifted young musicians have sincerely restored my faith in rock n roll. They live it, they breathe it, they own it."
The first single 'Let You Go' is a raw, melodious and uncompromising garage-rock assault, the single at once channels an iconic rock sound, with the added attitude and swagger of a young band about to hit their stride.
