Chicago-based foursome. Pop without the cheese, rock without the stoopid.

Mike Murphy - guitar, vocals Jim Latsis - guitar, vocals Terry Keating - drums, percussion Joe Herrmann - bass

"'Eleven space-age melodies,' the four boys in Leave proclaim on the cover of their debut album, 'Don't Go.' In fact, there's nothing futuristic about their tight harmonies, driving rhythms and thoroughly satisfying power-pop, but as the aforementioned power-pop scene proves, catchy tunes never go out of style." - Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times

"Leave makes good on the promise of its previous three-song EP with 'Don't Go,' a full-length collection of melodic pop music. Harmony vocals and ringing guitars from both Mike Murphy and Jim Latsis enable the band to create tunes like 'Any Other Way,' 'Postcard (Yeah Yeah Yeah),' and 'You Had It Coming' that call to mind Revolver-era The Beatles. Leave also does well with the slower, moody 'Alright' and 'Gold Top,' but it's energetic power pop like 'I Might As Well' and 'I'll Catch Up To You' that make 'Don't Go' ring true." - Terrence Flamm, Illinois Entertainer
