Album Notes

"Offering a refreshing pop/rock sound in this day and age of rap/rock and corporate rock, Leave may just possess the one thing that many of the artists in the aforementioned genres sorely lack: integrity... if Leave doesn't make it places big, there is something sorely wrong with the music industry."
--The Illinois Entertainer

Joe Herrmann - Bass

Formed in 2000, Leave has been playing clubs in Chicago and gaining attention across the country 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.

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.
