From a magazine I wrote for in 1992 comes this review on Leatherface...
This is British working class music for the masses. From Northern England comes Leatherface with a surprisingly pleasing stateside debut. "Mush" is punk 'n roll, positive energy sort of stuff. Each song has a distinct Leatherface guitar hook and is always memorable for the vocals of Frankie. His singing style is nothing short of passionate and provides and extra source of energy to this potent underground sound. Understand that this is a no-nonsense record. Where Helmet are considered the "fancy" brand of food, Leatherface is most definitely "plain wrap". "Mush" completely took me by surprise and I truly hope they will be a breath of fresh air to the music industry.
Fast forward to today, this records has staying power. It's still outstanding. The raw power and energy of this band, while probably not legendary, is infectious!
