The band formed in 1991 and are from Berlin.Several records out and for more details and infos you can visit their homepage here.

Leatherface is one of my fave bands and it's the first band coming in mind when i am listening to the Heart Politics's stuff!.For sure they're playing in the same vein and even the singer's voice is similar....Fuckin' awesome!.
