Leafhound is a legendary British hard rock band originally formed in 1970, known for their pioneering role in early heavy rock, blues rock, and proto-stoner rock. Despite limited recognition during their initial run, their influence has grown over time, particularly through their cult classic debut Growers of Mushroom. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Pete French (also known for stints with Atomic Rooster and Cactus), the band helped shape the sound of hard rock that would dominate the '70s and beyond.
Their 2023 release, Once Bitten, is Leafhound’s third studio album — arriving 18 years after their previous record Unleashed and over 50 years since their debut. The album delivers a raw, energetic mix of classic heavy rock and psychedelia, staying true to their roots while showcasing a revitalized and confident sound. Tracks like “Burn the House Down” and “Chain Gang” highlight Pete French’s still-powerful vocals and the band’s tight musicianship. Though not a reinvention, Once Bitten reinforces Leafhound’s status as enduring torchbearers of vintage rock, executed with grit, groove, and a modern edge.
It’s a rare but rewarding return from a band whose legacy continues to grow.
