“Kick the Habit” by Leggy

"Kick the Habit" by Leggy is Northern Transmissions' 'Song of the Day'.

Hailing from the heartland of America, Ohio’s Leggy is a blonde-heavy dream punk trio exploding with empowered earnestness, an undeniably catchy pop sensibility and that ever timeless grrrl in-and-out of love allure. With influences drawn from contemporary artists like Lana Del Rey & St. Vincent, as well as 90’s jammers like The Breeders and Hole, Leggy produce a unique style of music that equal parts dark pop and shimmery punk.

Leggy began after singer/ guitarist Veronique Allaer took a hip-breaking tumble off a fire escape days after graduating from college. Priorities drastically rearranged, she ditched the plans for grad school and instead moved into a house with her two best friends and music lovers, Kerstin Bladh and Christopher Campbell. The three began crafting raucous yet infectious garage pop led by Bladh’s fuzzed out and slinky bass lines, fortified with Campbell’s heavy-hitting yet tight drum beats, and sweetened with Allaer’s saccharine vocals.

Leggy havr recently shared the stage with Bully, EMA, Ex Hex, Cursive, Colleen Green, and Tweens.
