Info recogida en su MySpace:
Leon have recently toured Europe with the Bloodhound Gang and have gigged with Mylo, KT Tunstall and Hot Chip. The album Uppers and Downers is out now on Freezer Recordings, distributed by Proper Music Distribution in the UK and by Super D in the USA. Uppers and Downers is also available now on iTunes, Napster, CD Baby etc. Formed in Derby from a hybrid of bands early 2004, Leon started recording infectious tunes at a Nottingham studio within a month. Having written an albums worth of material, the band were determined to commit the songs to CD and get on with playing live. Uppers and Downers, the debut album from Leon is basically a collection of twisted love songs, dealing mainly with the pros and cons of sex and death, fusing new and old sounds in the mix, from an injection of Hammond organ here to home-grown electronica there. The singles from Uppers and Downers have had a great reaction from radio and press alike; a goddamn catchy little beggar - Garry Mulholland (Q Magazine, Observer Music Monthly) Daily Mirror Single of the Week - tuneful pop, so memorable an achievement. Leon are a sweet band with a stiletto blade in each hand...good attitude - NME. Unpeeled Review - Slick and scuzzy lo-fi pop rocking thats as cool and crisp as its fuzzy. Subba-Cultcha.com Review - a slightly wonkier coldplay, exactly what the world needs now! Hurray! played on Jonathan Ross show Radio 2, Janice Long show Radio 2, Session on Janice Long show Radio 2 fabulous! Great songs, the lines went mad!, Playlisted on XFM, Session on Claire Sturgess Show XFM, Played on Weekend Breakfast Show BBC6 Music, Phill Jupitus show BBC6 Music, played on Kerrang FM and Digital......
