The Antwerp-based band Black Leather Jacket is back with new music. Following their breakthrough single “Village People,” the band released their second album, Stinger, in 2023. After a successful tour with stops at Pukkelpop, Crammerock, and Gladiolen, the band retreated to the studio in the fall of 2024 with producer Damien Vanderhasselt to record a follow-up. Australian Michael Badger (known for his work with Amyl And The Sniffers and King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard) joined the team to mix the album. ENG NL The result is impressive: the new record, The Rush, sounds even bigger and more aggressive. The band has taken their sound to a new level while staying true to their signature formula. The Rush delves into the ever-flowing rhythm of life and the speed at which we are forced to adapt. Always looking ahead and striving for more, yet never fully grounded in the present.
