All Leather – Hung Like a Horse — Dim Mak, 2009

With the demise of Some Girls and the considerable downtime of The Locust, Justin Pearson got the itch to do something new. He teamed up with fellow Some Girls cohort Nathan Joyner and Maniqui Lazer's Jung Sing to form All Leather

All Leather ventures towards slightly different territory that previous Pearson projects, and yet there is still that distinct sound that one has come to expect from his output. Hung Like a Horse is a five-song EP that walks the line between electronica, punk, grindcore, and dance-pop. If you could imagine a battle between of The Locust and any bass-heavy dance/raver music you'd be along the right line. "As the Hog Pisseth" is as accessible as Pearson has ever been, his vocals are decipherable. Some songs are more dance-oriented ""Audios Mi Amoebas" while others venture closer towards screamo "We're Skrewed."

All Leather isn't for everyone - that is for sure. If you haven't enjoyed any previous material from the individuals involved I doubt you'll find All Leather worth your time. It is polarizing, even for those that have heard it all.

Perfect Place
Independent (2026)

Sarasota, Florida’s Floating Boy have been grinding for seven years, quietly shaping themselves into a band that lives and breathes the ethics of Fugazi (if you couldn’t tell by their track inspired name) and the emotional chaos of DIY punk. Their debut full-length, Perfect Place, is the culmination of that time. There are ten tracks of anxious, politically charged emo-punk/post-hardcore … Read more

I've reviewed a lot of Brokedowns records over the years. First, I'll say I love the band and I honestly feel like they keep getting better. Second, I'll say that this record threw a couple of surprises at me. The band play multi-vocalist poppish punk in the school of Dillinger Four or Errth, albeit more on the angry side. There … Read more
