Sydney-band I Know Leopard also know how to make music (apologies for the pun). The four-piece have been playing together for a couple of years now, and they've supported a range of bands including dance-act Miami Horror and rockers Deep Sea Arcade (displaying their versatility). They're also set to release their debut EP in late 2012.
Their style is hard to pin down, with similarities ranging from current bands like the Kooks or Local Natives with an 80s, classic rock twist. Whatever it is, it's good. Recently released "Embers" smolders along at a solid pace - it's dynamic and guitar-driven, with plenty of beautiful melodies thrown in for good measure.
There new track "Laila" was just debuted in Australia, too (check it out
here), so there's plenty going on for this rising band.
