Formed in 2001, Leave has been playing clubs in Chicago and beyond and has been gaining attention across the midwest with their catchy songs and strong harmonies. Chicago radio is catching on, as evidenced by the band's airplay on 93.1 FM WXRT's Local Anesthetic, on 94.7 FM WZZN's Local Zone and on 101.1 FM WKQX's Local Music Showcase. Even High School and College radio stations have taken notice.

One of the band's outstanding attributes is the consistent output of quality songs. With Leave, it isn't a case of one or two good tunes and a batch of throwaways, or songs that emulate the flavor of the week; it's simply a great band with well-crafted, refreshing melodies. Each song is approached with the same intensity and individual attention. With the release of their debut album Don't Go in early 2003, the band began to gain even greater notoriety both in Chicago and throughout the Midwest. Reviews of the CD were nothing but positive and sales were strong both online and in stores throughout Chicagoland.

In late 2005, Leave released their long-awaited second album I'd Rather Not Say. In the two-and-a-half years between their two releases, the members of the band have grown not just as musicians, but also as friends. The endless hours on the road and in the studio have turned Leave into a battle-tested rock 'n' roll combo.

There's a depth to their repertoire, assisted by a constant flow of new ideas. That's hard to find these days. With a fresh sound and a fresh approach to songwriting, Leave may be just what today's music lacks.

Our second single ‘Bill Hicks’ is now available for pre-order.

As you may know we are self-managed, self-published, and self-released on our own record label. Our debut single "Trauma Town" entered at #9 in the Official UK Independent Label charts and we're hoping to make this one go even bigger:

Pre-Order MP3 Download of ‘Bill Hicks’ from Play. com here.
(67p per track, £1.25 if you add the 'B' Side too)

We're in the middle of a big tour at the moment, come and see us if you can.

Al, Jonno, Steve & Nigel.

Hey guys. Johnny Perrin from the Lennys. I just wanted to say that the new album is fantastic.... I've always been a huge fan of you guys, and still are in my opinion the best band i've ever been on the same bill as. My other band, The Takeouts, recorded with Brian at gallery of carpet last week... Brian has some of the masking tape track info lines up in the bathroom. a very hard experience for me. Murph was a great talent.
still miss him

Happy New Year, guys. Bill is right: you playing my birthday was the best gift I have ever and most likely will ever receive.

2009 will be better. I miss Murph horribly, but I know he is still with us and watching out for us as we continue with our lives. Sometimes as I go about my day I feel him with me. Can't describe it as well as I would like to, but I know he's there.

Love always, your uberfan, Laura
