Hailing from Seattle, the Cute Lepers display a level of competence lacking in many garage bands. This competence manifests itself most prominently in the bass playing of Stevie Kicks, though the rest of the band is not without their charms. Rocking a '70s punk sound in line with the Buzzcocks and the Stooges, Cute Lepers are both danceable and moshable.
