Leap

October 2003

[...] On Thursday night in Montreal, more than 400 people were present at the amazing Club Soda. LEAP, who will go to represent Canada at the International Acoustic Showcase in Paris this December, couldn’t have been a better choice to open the Tour. They set the bar for the others and showed the audience what being the BEST of Emergenza is all about.

"Great melodies and musicianship with lots of dynamics. Something that is really missing with most of the other bands. Hearing Leap was like a breath of fresh air after all the "wall of noise" music we've been subjected to over the past few months!"

[...] Beyond all expectations, Emergenza has been a real benefit for Leap who at first was only considering this contest as a great opportunity to be seen and heard before big audiences on nice big stages. It was really worth it! In its first overseas exploration, Leap foresees a unique chance to reach more and more people. - Emergenza-festival.net

Review by Lex

Leap closed the night at the Hard Rock as part of another IROC production. They kept the crowd entertained throughout the wee hours with their style of Brit Rock mixed with some very melodic vocals and riffs. Singer Simon Bousquet's friendly stage presence and clear voice was a perfect match for their set of power pop songs that Coldplay fans would enjoy. A quick slight technical problem with one of the guitars did not discourage them to keep the show rockin'. This was their first show since their return from a few European tour dates. Leap is a band that understands the important mix of creativity and structure to take a stab at this industry. They are putting a lot of energy now in completing their demo EP. - Montrealmusicscene.com
