"Just a few weeks after completely ripping the casing off with their debut 7” comes Leather Lickers - Eye Of The Scared EP. Laid to tape during the same recording session at The Barracks in Geelong, Eye Of The Scared is made up of songs which were written in 2015-2016 and at the time only saw the light of day on a very small run of cassettes and an even smaller string of live shows. These burning jams capture the essence of the band’s approach and have been mastered well into (and beyond) the red to reflect the core: ferocious as hell. Leather Lickers play LOUD and feel it. So should you." Edition of 250 with screened sleeve, foldout poster insert, + Leather Lickers + Cool Death stickers. -Cool Death.



Our take: Latest 7” from this Australian hardcore band who turned a lot of heads with their debut vinyl a few months ago. On Eye of the Scared we get three tracks. The first one is blistering fast, noisy, and out of control, like wilder groups from Japan or Cleveland. The second turns up the punk dial, accentuating the Cleveland over the Japan, while the entire b-side is a mid-paced fist-pumper that has the anthemic quality of Wasted Time or Fucked Up’s great early singles. The execution is raw and nasty, and the packaging—silver ink screen-printed on red paper—is nice. Another solid release from a band to watch.
