HEDONIACS
Online & Offline PR 2011
Leyline are hugely excited about the prospect of working with Hedoniacs. In our opinion the band is a breath of fresh air, a welcome return to uncompromising and expressive rock n’ roll. We believe the current generation of music fans are bored of bands trying to be too clever with a ‘sound of the moment’ and in the process not producing charismatic lead singers able to ‘take it on’. Not so in the case of Lewis, frontman of the Hedoniacs. He has huge stage presence, an arrogance born out of confidence with well crafted songs and a fantastic band to back it up. The potential is huge because the songwriting is so good. Their debut single 'Cant Tie Me Down’ was released April 4th.
