Review: Leadfeather’s “Roll The Dice” – A New Era for Retro Rock
There’s something special in the air with Leadfeather’s debut track “Roll The Dice,” a song that taps straight into the soul of classic rock with a refreshing, energetic twist. Formed by Simon Hurts from Los Angeles and Apostolos L from Greece, two musicians with deep roots in the retro rock scene, Leadfeather is already making waves. Rising from the remnants of Howlin May Queen and Hunted By Elephants, Leadfeather embraces a classic Zeppelin-esque sound while adding their own grit, bringing a new energy that doesn’t just pay tribute to the past—it feels like the next evolution.
With “Roll The Dice,” Leadfeather dives into rock’s glory days but with a modern feel that is bound to resonate with fans who crave authenticity and rawness in their music. This is a track that doesn’t rely on flashy production or gimmicks; instead, it’s driven by gritty vocals, tight instrumentals, and that magical chemistry between Simon and Apostolos that feels both vintage and fresh. Simon Hurts’ vocals strike the perfect balance between emotive and powerful, delivering lyrics that are as impactful as they are memorable. Apostolos, meanwhile, takes his guitar work to new heights, channeling the spirit of Jimmy Page with a keen sense of melody and dynamics that keep the listener hanging on every note.

While fans of Hunted By Elephants may still be mourning the band’s disbandment, “Roll The Dice” promises that Leadfeather is ready to fill that void and bring something even more compelling to the table. Their sound appeals not only to loyal HBE fans but also to anyone with an appreciation for classic rock’s iconic feel combined with an original twist. The bass lines, drum rhythms, and backing guitar riffs drive the track with a powerful yet smooth force, making it a song you can’t help but move to.
The anticipation for what Leadfeather will bring to the UK’s rock scene—and beyond—is palpable. While “Roll The Dice” is just a taste of what’s to come, it leaves no doubt that this quintet is poised for something big. They’ve taken the nostalgia of rock’s golden era and infused it with new life, promising more than just a tribute act—they’re an authentic addition to the modern rock landscape. Their music has the potential to captivate both classic rock fans and a new generation, creating a bridge between eras.
If you’re a fan of raw, soul-stirring rock that respects the legends while daring to break new ground, Leadfeather is a band to keep on your radar. “Roll The Dice” is a track that not only announces their arrival but sets a high bar for what’s to come. Brace yourself; Leadfeather is ready to bring the fire back to rock.
