Based in Manchester we 'Leif' produces the ideas and songs of singer/songwriter Jules. Influenced by 60/70's songwriting the band concentrates on producing honest emotional songs with intense passion and strong melodies. Combining styles as diverse as Nick Drake, Wilco, Pink Floyd and The Beatles makes for a blend of eclectic songs which are easy to relate to. Our debut album 'Twist of fortune' is a subtle blend of emotion and passion with singer-song writer Jules Leif McCormick approaching the melancholic trials and tribulations of relationships with an immense honesty, balancing the good times with the anthemic character they deserve.

Leif formed originally as a 4 piece band in 2003 and we decided to begin on work on an album in 2004. The recording, mastering and mixing of the album was completed by September 2005 featuring some new and old friends of ours to whom we are indebted and very grateful. The mixing and production on the album was done at loonyville Manchester and mastered by studio masters international. Then after design and print we finally released the album in March 2006. We thank everybody who helped us throughout the whole process. You know who you are!!
Our influences are diverse, we all listen to all sorts of stuff from the Band and Neil Young to Radiohead but we've have tried to produce a very British album. On the whole its a great place to be - especially for music. "hope you enjoy it?"
