Greenleaf began as side thing with such notable names as Dozer, Lowrider, and Truckfighters.

Having turned from an on and off fling to a full-time love affair, the years of rotating line-ups ended and Greenleaf’s newfound focus and stability was crowned by their fifth album »Trails & Passes« (2014), which featured new permanent vocalist Arvid Hällagård. This milestone also marked the beginning of a new phase of the band.

Their next two full-lengths, 2016’s »Rise Above The Meadow« and 2018’s »Hear The Rivers«, won the band prime performing slots on European festival stages, while »Echoes From A Mass« (2021) reached the global streaming and European album charts – reflecting the quartet’s ever-growing popularity.

Weaving together psychedelia, hard rock, and metallic blues in a warm, serpentine mélange that leaves behind none of the punishing immediacy of their earlier recordings, today’s Greenleaf merge road-tested tightness, swirling guitar-driven soundscapes, and captivating blues-laden vocals into one of the most reliably mesmerizing acts pushing the sonic horizons of desert rock to new frontiers.

With »The Head & The Habit«, Greenleaf combine an awareness of past triumphs with mature craftsmanship, showcasing their confidence in how to rock stronger, harder, and more to the point than ever before. The Swedes melt thunderous riff-magic, enrapturing and soul-heavy vocals, frenetic rhythms and driving attacks into an ear-catching, sparkling alloy of hard rocking anthems!

Greenleaf is:
Arvid Hällagård – Vocals
Tommi Holappa – Guitar
Hans Fröhlich – Bass
Sebastian Olsson – Drums
