Leadfinger

New Leadfinger album - SILVER & BLACK out February 2022 through Golden Robot Records!!

Leadfinger mine the deep seam of rock’n’roll, back through the 70’s & 80's rock and punk era’s, the classic Stones and Dylan records of the 60’s, the Blues and beyond. Their timeless songwriting and heart on sleeve delivery has won them many fans! Against the prevailing wisdom of musical narrowcasting, Leadfinger straddle a bundle of styles with the nimble ease of a homespun visionary who correctly sees that ultimately it’s all one. Since forming in 2007 this hard-working independent band has developed it’s own timeless rock’n’roll sound and great songs that would make them the perfect tour support for the bands like The Replacements, Big Star, Wilco, Flamin Groovies or Tom Petty…if there was a time machine!!

Tracing it's origins back to a bizarre air rifle injury at age 14, ’Leadfinger’ was originally a nick name for main-man/songwriter/guitarist 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 - and 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 will release it's 6th Album, SILVER & BLACK, in February 2022.
