Alt.rock four-piece Leopard Rays are Luke Dawkins (vocals), Sean McCloskey (guitar), Tom Pattison (bass) and David Wilcox (drums). Hailing from Hartlepool in the UK, they take their influences from the likes of Pearl Jam, Oasis and Ride. Fans of more contemporary bands like The Pale White, Inhaler, Blossoms and Sam Fender are likely to love them.

New single Carried Away is a hymn to breaking up and breaking free. A celebration of hedonism in the face of bad luck and broken hearts, which combines chiming guitars with an anthemic sweetness. This makes it the band’s most radio-friendly release yet.
