Ready for the weekend? Here’s a record to ease you out of work mode and into something far more fun—a record custom-built for dim lights, loud speakers, and steamy bars. Or, if you’re stuck at home doing chores, it’ll turn your vacuuming into a victory lap.

From their debut single 18 months ago, it was obvious Leatherman were a force. They’re part of a new wave of female-fronted rock’n’roll bands (RIYL Romero, Sheer Mag, R.A.B.B.I.T, A Giant Dog) that channel Thin Lizzy and Judas Priest while clearly growing up on punk. That mix of glam, grit, and guts works wonders here—twin guitars, bass riffs, and strategically placed oohs and yeahs all snapping into place with swagger.

Among the ten tracks are the two songs that originally got me hooked, now joined by more heavy hitters. Heartbeater Cheetah is as glam and catchy as its title suggests, while Slow Motion leans fully into Sheer Magesque classic rock worship. The closing track on the LP is titled Leatherman Rule OK, which breaks the whole “show, don’t tell” rule—but when it’s true, it’s true. The streaming version of the record ends on a steamy cover of Billy Ocean’s Love Really Hurts Without You, because why wouldn’t they? Leatherman, what a band!

Turn You On is out now via Legless Records and This Charming Man Records.
