My first retail release totally self produced and self financed

Aberdare Singer/Songwriter Leon Evans (who performs under the artist name 'Leon Live') is releasing his début EP entitled 'Childhood E.P.' on the 22nd December 2008.

Best described as 'Acoustic Rock' the EP combines rock sensibilities with an acoustic based sound scape with beautiful melodies and harmonies and incredibly infectious and hook laden choruses and lyrics.

The EP is available from 22nd December on CD (£3 + P&P) from the official Leon Live website -
www.leonlive.co.uk
The EP will soon be available digitally on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, eMusic and Napster.
It will also be available at all Leon Live performances.

The entire EP was created by Leon in his small flat in the town of Aberdare. Leon wrote, performed, produced, mixed and recorded all the material for the EP (and the upcoming album slated for release in Q2 2009) by himself. He also created the logo's and printed all the artwork for the CD. Chris Summerill of Summertime Records helped achieve a retail release by releasing under his Summertime Records label.

The 'Childhood E.P.' consists of 5 songs taken from the 14 that will appear on the full album next year. Each song(except 'Blinded') is a diary entry in Leon's life from May to October 2008 as he struggled to come to terms with an abusive and neglected childhood and the unfortunate emotional damage that left him with
as an adult.
Each songs lyrics were written in one day as a diary entry about the emotion and feelings he felt on that very day. These words are unedited, they are not revised or changed to 'improve' them as some form of song writing exercise. They are the honest, raw emotional content of one man's journey of self discovery.
