We are LEOPARDS.
We're a fresh five piece band from North West UK with a progressive style and unique take on the alternative rock and pop genre. We like to write interesting songs that combine the best of pop’s hooks and simplicity while layering it with intricate and exciting instrumentation.
Since our inception in early 2011 we’ve played up and down the UK supporting the likes of Set Your Goals, Don Broco, Blitz Kids & Tellison among many others. Our debut single and it’s corresponding video was featured on Kerrang TV and we’ve sinced joined the indie label Lost Pop Records.
See our most recent single and video here: http://youtu.be/YVxHQ0e3FGg
We’re currently looking to introduce a new bassist with backing vocals to our line up, we are looking for someone with confidence, strong ability on their instrument and the drive and commitment to get stuck into a fast developing band. Bass plays an integral part in our songs and we like to write interesting bass lines that support and broaden the depth of the tracks. In addition it is highly beneficial if you are able to sing and harmonise to a reasonable standard.
