About Leeches
Since starting the writing process, Jaden's hectic schedule has meant Ben (The Chase) has had to step in to play drums at the current time. July 2010 see's Leeches play their first shows on the Antagonist A.D Winter tour of NZ.
Leeches hope to bring the frantic and raw live energy that is missing so bad right now back into the Nz music scene.
