Here’s what I know about The Leap Year… they hail from the world’s most isolated city, they play picturesque indie-rock and have an undisclosed affinity with 1980’s television commercial jingles. Multiple vocals with a distinctly Australian soul, The Leap Year formed in 2006 after longstanding relationships between friends Paul Haimes (bass), Chris Reimer (drums), Rob Schifferli (guitar, vocals) and Martin Allcock (guitar). The group quickly began playing shows around Western Australia all the while preparing for their debut full-length record With A Little Push, A Pattern Appears. Now often playing alongside international heavyweights Spoon, Low, Swervedriver and the like, the band are soon to release their second album.
