‘The Stormy Petrel’ is the brand new full-length album from one of the UK’s most influential, longest running (and can we say infamous?!) punk-rock bands.

Forming in Sunderland, UK almost 2 decades ago, LEATHERFACE's legacy has spanned across 7 studio albums, countless 7"s and vinyl releases, 2 discographies and of course their much loved 1999 split with HOT WATER MUSIC. With original guitarist and co-writer Dickie Hammond re-joining the band in 2006 LEATHERFACE have continued to tour parts of the UK/ Europe, finally returning to the US in 2008 to headline Florida's THE FEST.

Recorded by Fred Purser @ Trinity Heights Studio, 'The Stormy Petrel' is 12 new tracks of classic LEATHERFACE - intensely melodic, beautifully melancholic and truly punk-rock.

"...The Stormy Petrel will still stand tall as one of the best punk rock albums of 2010." PunkNews.org
