Often called The Pioneers of Heavy Metal, Leaf Hound became one of the most influential bands of the international Hard Rock/Stoner Rock music scene with their 1971 debut album Growers Of Mushroom, which today remains a highly sought after collector’s item. Due to business issues with their label and agents, the band broke up shortly after a successful tour of Germany the same year the album was released. In 2004 singer Peter French revived the band with a new line-up and in 2007 Leaf Hound released the critically acclaimed album Unleashed followed by Live In Japan, recorded during the band’s 2012 Japan tour. Hot’n’heavy riffs overlaid with Peter French’s powerful vocals prove none of their energy has been lost – if anything, Once Bitten shows it has only grown thanks to the dynamism of newcomers Dominic French and Peter Herbert. Bittersweet ballads are intertwined with pedal-to-the-metal, drivin’ rock, while ‘Thought Police’ and ‘Watching Life’s Wheels’ speak to the turbulent times in which we live. More than 50 years since their recording debut, Leaf Hound continue to draw a crowd and wow audiences with their high octane performances – Once Bitten will undoubtedly win them plaudits and new fans.
