Leatherette

Leatherette are Andrea, Francesco, Jacopo, Marco and Michele. Formed in 2018, they are based in Bologna, Italy. Their name comes from the iconic single Warm Leatherette by The Normal. Leatherette almost sounds like a mockery of rock music and its aesthetics, simultaneously embraced and rejected, shredded. Their music is a pastiche of punk outbursts, jazz atmospheres and hints of no wave, generating a rich and composite sound, sometimes warm and welcoming, sometimes harsh, scratchy and unpredictable.

In 2021 they released Mixed Waste (WWNBB), a self-produced EP, followed by intense live activity throughout Italy (MiAmi, Beaches Brew), Europe and the UK.
