Hailing from Philadelphia Leiana is currently in the studio working on her 3^rd full length CD with producer/artists Rob Caggiano (Anthrax) due out early 2009. This female-fronted act already has a rapidly growing fan base with two self-produced and self-released studio albums already under her belt and countless tour dates in the states and overseas. Leiana’s original style ranges from all-out punk to sarcastically fun to kick your ass hardcore with just a hint of girl-group charm

“Leiana is kind of a rarity nowadays in rock: a band led by a female with enough chops to lay waste to anyone who dare oppose them. Together with the legendary Chuck Treece and enough musical weapons of mass destruction, Leiana are a punky metallic force to be reckoned with” – Pure Volume

Originally, singer Leiana and multi-instrumentalist Chuck Treece formed the foundation of Leiana. A former pro skater and prolific musician, Chuck has been a driving force in skate rock for over 20 years. He’s also a founding member of punk legends McRad.

The 2005 release of Leiana’s debut EP didn’t go unnoticed, especially its first single Surfy Punky, which made its way onto several punk compilations. In May of 2006 Leiana released her first full-length CD Page. The well-received album featured the singles Follow Blind, which was included in the Gnarly Dude compilation. Soon after Leiana started her own label, Page Records and hit the studio to record her next release, No Going Back which deliver two break out tracks Bitter and Suffer that were featured on the Brenden Borek Compilation and A & E’ s Parking Wars.

“Leiana pulls in the lyrics and vocal performance. The mixture is ambient and atmospheric in nature, the arrangements are interesting and intriguing with their play on emotions and texture” - Razorcake

The music industry may be more dominated than ever by soulless mega-corporations, but the DIY spirit of artists like Leiana is still alive and definitely still kicking.
