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. 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.
