debut single 18 months ago<\/a>, it was obvious Leatherman were a force. They\u2019re part of a new wave of female-fronted rock\u2019n\u2019roll 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\u2014twin guitars, bass riffs, and strategically placed oohs and yeahs all snapping into place with swagger.<\/p>\nAmong the ten tracks are the two songs that originally got me hooked, now joined by more heavy hitters. Heartbeater Cheetah<\/em> is as glam and catchy as its title suggests, while Slow Motion<\/em> leans fully into Sheer Magesque classic rock worship. The closing track on the LP is titled Leatherman Rule OK<\/em>, which breaks the whole \u201cshow, don\u2019t tell\u201d rule\u2014but when it’s true, it’s true. The streaming version of the record ends on a steamy cover of Billy Ocean\u2019s Love Really Hurts Without You, <\/em>because why wouldn’t they? Leatherman, what a band!<\/p>\nTurn You On<\/em> is out now via Legless Records and This Charming Man Records.<\/p>\n
