The band Mother Leeds was created in 2000 by lead singer and founder Jimi Storm. He named the band after the mother of the Jersey Devil, the cursed 13th child who transformed into a beast with the head of a goat, wings of a dragon, legs of a horse, and a long forked tail, who flew out the chimney after it was born and has been terrorizing the people of the New Jersey Pine Barrens ever since. For more info about that, listen to "The Mother Leeds Song" which tells the whole story!
Their music is all original, heavy in-your-face metal with a twist of punk and thrash. Mother Leeds is signed to Platinum Plus Universal Records out of Nashville.
Storm hit the studio in 2002 and recorded 4 albums. Storm wrote all the lyrics and half the music on the 1st album, and all music & lyrics for the other 3 recorded albums. He also laid down most of the rhythm guitar tracks on all 4 albums.
Bassist Peter Daniel was added to the group in 2003 and has been touring with the band ever since. Pete recorded with the band on the 4th album, along with ex-drummer Dave Rappleyea. In November 2008, new member Dustin Corey replaced ex-guitarist John, and Demon replaced old drummer Dave.
With Storm's dominating vocals, Dustin's heavy leads, Demon on drums, and Peter Daniel on bass, the band is complete. Since the record company pressed the album, Mother Leeds has not stopped touring to promote it, in places such as The Stone Pony, The Saint, The Brighton Bar, Starland Ballroom and many others many times. The music speaks for itself.

Here's a word from lead singer Jimi Storm: "I'd like to thank all my fans, ASCAP, all my friends, my producer Mike, and everybody who had anything to do with Mother Leeds performing. I'd also like to thank myself for being born and creating the greatest band in the world!"
