Leaih prihajajo iz Švedske in veljajo za enega boljših evropskih emocore bendov. Že s svojim prvim mini albumom ''Moad shifting tones'', ki je izšel enkrat leta 99', so si pridobili veliko oboževalcev, saj ima zgoščenka par hitov, ampak so tudi komadi, ki niso ravno po mojem okusu. Za tem je prišel album ''The tigra songs'', ki je bil dosti boljši, vendar malo preveč enoličen in sedaj imam pred sabo ''Surrounded by seasons'', za katerega nimam nobene pripombe, razen mogoče ovitek, ki bi lahko bil malo manj pustoben, ampak kaj hočemo, takšen pač mora biti izgled prave ''emo'' plate. Leaiah delajo glasbo na tem albumu še vedno po starem receptu, z razliko, da je tokrat okus boljši, slajši...gre za mešanico počasnih in drvečih ritmov, ter umirjenih kosov, ki jim sledijo izbruhi energije, ter lepih melodij. Vokal je lep in prepeva o ljubezenskih tematikah. Kljub temu, da so imeli manjše spremembe v zasedbi ni zaznati kakšnih posebnih sprememb v glasbi. Še vedno ostajajo Leiah in prav je tako! ''...there is always and there is ever, but wings are only tonight...''

English Version:
Leiah are coming from Sweden and they are known as one of better european emocore bands. Their debut mini album titled ''Moad shifting tones'', which came out aroud 99', was a big success and they got lots of fans in no time. I didn't liked that release, though. After that came out ''The tigra songs'' full length, which was much better, but still a little too monotonous. And now I'm holding their last release ''Surrounded by seasons'' for which I have no complains, except maybe the lay-out which could be a little less desolated, but what can we do if this is the way how the real ''emo'' lay-out should looks like. Leiah are still using the same recipe, but with exception of better and sweeter taste...it's a mixture of slow and driving rhythms and calm parts which leads to energetic outbursts and beautiful melodies. Vocal is throughout beautiful and sings about love themes. Although there were some line changes in the band it's hard to perceive any music alterations. They are still Leiah and that's good! ''...there is always and there is ever, but wings are only tonight...''

Nice emo rock band from Sweden. In Belgium where I saw them playing for the first time they did a really cool show. They played after Reaching Forward and they were a real relief after this dumb asses. I don't like their MCD but the show was great.
This guys and a girl finely came in Ajdovščina. I didn't expected that their music will tuch me so much. It's great! Their new CD is great! Ok, ok their label is not so great. But still, they are great and I like them. Amazing show! The new photos are taken from Ajdovščina and from ther show in Italy which happend next day!
