Leisur Hive (Dangerous Tracks)Home: London, UK Leisur Hive, one of the most visceral, intense and interesting UK bands of the last decade, was first formed by Daniel Knowler and Maria Vellanz after a chance meeting 13 years after they first met as children. With Maria's punk-spirited enthusiasm and Dan's background in Suicide-esque rock band Proton Wedding, they began Leisur Hive as an attempt to fuse angular, percussive forms with intensely emotional songwriting. The line-up was solidified with the addition of longtime friends and collaborators Mark Bishop and Robert Allen (also of Australian noise duo Halo). |

Leisur Hive's close-to-the-bone, emotional performances, echoing distorted soundscapes and throbbing, thunderous basslines have often been compared to such sonic individualists as Joy Division, Swans, Cop Shoot Cop and The Fall, but Leisur Hive remains solely focused on their own wayward path. They have gained a reputation for their exhilarating, cathartic live shows across the UK and Europe. In 2008 Leisur Hive released their fourth official studio album, 'The Soft Column', which brings to fruition the off-kilter sound of Leisur Hive's live performances and defines their aesthetic of merging slabs of growling rhythm with emotive shimmering songwriting. |
