Leiah from Sweden, once a household name on the European indie/hardcore/emo scene in the late 90's. Leiah’s frontman and primary songwriter David Lehnberg started recording and touring with the band before he even finished high school. Leiah was quickly acclaimed and appreciated for their intense live performances and persistent touring. The band shared scenes and festivals with genre defining bands such as The Get Up Kids and At The Drive In.
After the breakup (2004), songs like Red Star Pilot and Tiglo (part of top 100 EMO songs of all time list by 'Is this thing on?') have found new listeners and can now be heard on playlists that define the sound of the latter part of the 90s emo/indie rock scene.
During their most active years, Leiah released three LPs and a few singles on record labels such as Genet Records, Background Beat/Startracks and Howling Bull (Japan). After signing with record label Background Beat/Startracks the band started recording what would be their final album Sound and Diversity (2002), produced by Pelle Gunnerfeldt (Refused, The Hives). After the tour cycle ended and the band had finished writing songs for a new album the inevitable break-up came (2004).
In 2018 unexpectedly new Leiah music appears and in 2019 they made their first shows in 16 years with a sold out performance at the Miss The Stars Fest in Berlin.
