"'I'm done! I'm not going to do this anymore!' And I throw his knife to the floor" -Leoce/Leoces player

Leoce: Chill Jams for the Ride Home (or at least something to keep the murderous Thanksgiving road rage at bay).

I was in the mood to add some new blood to my driving-home-from-work sound track, so I was pretty amped when I began streaming Leoce's This is Real, through my phone. These Richboro natives have Jack Johnson/Brett Dennen sort of folky tunes that have a some what surprising mix of ska and blues influence. Leoce isn't as indefatigueably upbeat as Johnson but they do have that unmistakeable pop folk sound. Sean Ladden's voice is neither bass nor is it quite what I would call a tenor, regardless he has one smooth tone, which pairs remarkably well with the low thrumming bass lines provided by Shawn Hogan. Kyle Walter plays the drums with such fluidity, that inspite of the fact that there is a lot of high-hat action going on in this song, it is not at all jarring. Instead the drums actually add a layer of unruffled cadence. 

Also these guys are looking for more Philly gigs, so if you are looking for some talented artists, give these guys a holla' (as it were).
