There are 2 bands with the name "The Leeches".

1) The Leeches are born in Como in the beginning of 2002 when, after several groups (Orange juice from the crypt, Class 78, the Cretins) and varies years of bangings demos and 7", they have decided to join in a band sharing the passion for food and for the punk rock genuine and not standardized.The group is formed from Mass(bass and voice), Messicano(guitar )e Mone (drums and snacks), lately sound with us also Freddy (guitar).The basic idea is to amuse itself producing something of bond, to play a lot, to eat a lot and to findown road in the crowded panorama of punk rock.Music take inspiration from, D.I, Angry samoans, Adolescents, G.G allin… from the punk rock of the origins to those furious years of California’s80.Having to describe they said to us that we have a Rought sound, fast, vulgar and powerful with unexpected melodic hook.Something of red, like the blood and the love and yellow like fried potatoes.In 2003 they put out a cd split with the Good ol' boys (punk' n' roll from Milan),that contains 5 songs, always punk rock old school without too many blah blah.In December 2004 they put out their first 45 with three short but intense pieces of punk rock primitive and gross, recorded well but not patinated.Beyond to this they have participated to some compilations and played in Italy and Switzerland. In summer-autumn 2005 they have recorded their first full length, 11pieces full of sweat and madness, leaving from the rough one of "gorilla rock" in order arriving to the crazy and bloody "Jesus loves the Leeches".
