Didn’t think I’d ever see a “RIYL” for the band Leatherface and then when it’s combined alongside the likes of Jawbreaker and Joan Jett, I just kind of figured it would blow my hair back a bit. Sure did. Hailing from the crowded punk scene in Boston, Deadly Sins bring experience in Brendan Maguire (Reach the Sky) and Stephanie Dougherty (female vocals w/Dropkick Murphys on occasion–best known for their single “The Dirty Glass”), and Billy Brown (Crash and Burn). Their fiery brand of gut-wrenching harmonies attest to their superb version of nuanced melodic punk. Songs like “Barely Breathing” no doubt will offer the sort of phat riffage and throaty vocal sing-a-longs at any Boston pub worthy of this group’s performance.
