The 90s are back — and kicking off the first wave of the grunge revival are BC indie rockers Leather Apron Revival with their new single ’Stagehand’ out now on all digital streaming platforms.
The raw and gritty rock track is the first single from their new full-length album Light & Shadow, which is set for release early next year. "The riff and the first verse for this song have been around for 20 years, just one of those unfinished ideas that have been on the back burner and every once in a while it got picked up again," says bassist Grady Pasiechnyk. "It started as a country idea and Lennan resurrected it during the writing process and finished the verses, then came to the band for us to ‘put it through the LAR machine’. We nailed down the chorus as a band and our producer Leeroy pulled a ton of grit and emotion out of us when we recorded it."
Formed in 2017, Leather Apron Revival is a grunge-fueled power trio hailing from British Columbia's Kootenay region. The band's vintage sounds are warm and rich with visceral grooves and bluesy riffs, combining thoughtful songwriting and powerful melodies to create a timeless yet modern rock soundscape with a dash of old-school Canadiana.
Leather Apron Revival released their self-titled debut EP in 2019 and will follow-up with their first full-length album Light & Shadow, produced by Leeroy Stagger and mastered by John Greenham, in early 2022. Leather Apron Revival's new single 'Stagehand' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide.

The band said about the song: The first single from Leather Apron Revival's forthcoming full-length "Light & Shadow" (out in 2022), 'Stagehand' is an old-school slab of grunge-fuelled indie-rock that delivers a dark cautionary tale of love, lose and life on the endless road.
