From London in the UK, post-indie rock LEAP is leaning into the emo and electronic sounds to create a sound of their own sound all together! The grittier vocals with the rougher, noise-heavy production style are reminiscent of early 2000s alt rock. Their production is well-rounded, but full, leaving no part of the song too barren.
On the 23rd of October, LEAP released their newest single "Bury Me", a song that beckons you to listen to it over and over again.
This song opens with an intro that has banger guitar riffs and drum runs that work in tandem to create a vibe that keeps the crowd grooving till the very first words. The very first lyrics, "Talk to me like I'm a stranger," are a callout right off the bat that pulls the listener in and asks them to listen. It really gives the feel that the listener is being addressed at first before moving into, " Tell me one thing / Send me on my way," which progresses the song into feeling like it is a track again.
But the chorus is really where the lyrics and sound become more than just 2-dimensional. "So would you promise me that you'll feel lonely / Cause I would fall asleep just to see you there / But if you buried me underneath the concrete / Then you should lay with me just to make it fair," are honestly such beautifully done lines.
Speaking of the lyrics, you can check out the lyric video on YouTube.
LEAP has a great sound that I could hear in a lot of different types of films and shows. I could see "Bury Me" in shows like Shameless or Euphoria and in films such as the newer Spider-Man movies and even in movies more like Obsession, as the lyrics hit both notes that can be relatable, but have a darker wording to the lyrics without being just straight-up edgy. Honestly, that's a talent, and I hope that you are pitching for sync, because this track could ramp a scene up perfectly.
This band and their music are definitely going to go far not just in that regard, but also with what a great radio song this would be! Airtime for this one could take off, and I hope they can secure a lot! I know I added it to my own Car Ride Playlist, because it would be such a great song for joyrides as you yell along with it!

LEAP was a new band to me, and I am really glad I found them, as I have really fallen in love with their music! I am looking forward to even more music and maybe catching them on a Texas show date if possible, as I know this band has to be so much fun live!
Make sure you go listen to "Bury Me" and don't stay a stranger to LEAP!
