Leadfinger 'Silver & Black' Album Launch

LEADFINGER plus amazing supports Drugs in Sport & The Smart Folk...NB, this event was supposed to be on the 2nd April but was postponed due to Covid-19 staffing issues at the venue.

Australian rock band LEADFINGER and Golden Robot Records are pleased to announce the release of SILVER & BLACK, a brilliant new LEADFINGER album, their first since the highly regarded 2016 album, Friday Night Heroes.

The story of Silver & Black began not long after the career-high of the first LEADFINGER tour of Europe in October 2017 when the bands singer/songwriter, Stewart Cunningham fell ill and was shockingly diagnosed with lung cancer. Following almost 2 years of treatment that included losing one of his lungs and a long recovery the band began to try and regroup, not even knowing whether Cunningham would be able to play and sing again. Somewhat miraculously things slowly fell in to place in the isolation (and therapy) of the rehearsal room and then in and around Covid and lockdowns the band managed to write and record the new album at Garth Porters Rancom Street Studio in Sydney with Brent Clark producing. Finally, with the album in the can and after an almost 4 year absence from the stage LEADFINGER returned to play live again in June 2021 with new songs and a renewed self-belief in their music and each other. The release of Silver & Black marks the final step in the bands triumph over serious adversity.
