	The Leeches had one vinyl EP, ''Urban Camouflage'', containing their early material; it was written up in Maximum R&R and other alternative mags. It seemed to be more popular in Europe than in the US. Also, one TV appearance on a local show where they showcased their latest material (''The Friday Club''), which portion was included in the short youtube documentary The Leeches: Sucking In The Eighties. In 2013, "Age Bomb" was released as a 45rpm single in limited edition. ''Urban Camouflage'' was digitally remastered from both the original mix masters of 1986, as well as additional material recorded in 4-track at the Noise Factory, which was subsequently released as a compact disc of the same name, also in limited edition, and available on all streaming platforms.

	'''The Leeches''' were formed in the original punk rock explosion era of the late '70s and were a politically oriented band playing a hard raw rhythm & blues, ska/reggae, and rockabilly-tinged musical patois. Originally formed in Chicago, 1979 by Gary Cannone (Drums) and Dave Tainer (vocals and guitar), it evolved until 1984 when the most popular and longest-lived incarnation included Mark Rose (Mark Blue) on lead guitar and vocals, Louis Relucio on Drums, Tony Morrison on bass and vocals, and Dave Tainer on rhythm guitar and vocals. This edition played into 1988, when they disbanded. They were often compared to The Clash, but this was usually done mockingly.
