Australian rock act LEADFINGER are back with their latest single ‘Nobody Knows’, their first release since their highly regarded 2016 album Friday Night Heroes! ‘Nobody Knows‘ is out NOW through Golden Robot Records and is available on all digital platforms!
Like a Tim Winton novel rebooted as a surf rock song, ‘Nobody Knows’ tells its story wrapped in a ton of melodic guitars and a voice that sings from the heart. LEADFINGER’s timeless songwriting and melodic guitar rock have won them many fans around the world.
LEADFINGER were a mainstay on the Australian rock scene from the mid 2000’s, releasing 5 albums including their first 3 on Spanish label Bang! Records. Now, LEADFINGER return as part of the Golden Robot Records roster!
The name LEADFINGER was originally a nome de plume for the band’s songwriter/guitarist/hero of the oppressed etc, Stewart ‘Leadfinger’ Cunningham.
After first plying his guitar-slinger trade in the late 80’s with Wollongong’s seminal pre-grunge Proton Energy Pills, Cunningham headed to Sydney to play in underground guitar bands – Brother Brick, Asteroid B-612 and Challenger-7 – as well as a stint in Melbourne with The Yes-Men.
After forming LEADFINGER in 2006 as a solo project, it morphed into a twin guitar rock n’ roll band that released it’s 5th album, Friday Night Heroes in July 2016 and toured Europe in October 2017.
LEADFINGER mine the deep seam of rock’n’roll, back through the 70’s rock and punk eras, to the classic Stones and Dylan records of the 60’s and beyond. Their timeless songwriting and heart-on-sleeve delivery has won them many fans! They have had no hits, won no awards and aren’t on Instagram, but they will release their jaw-dropping 6th album through Golden Robot Records!
