“Time Kills” Release

Welcome!

St. Louis’s Leadville writes catchy (and often short) songs which borrow from garage rock, alt-country and a.m. radio pop. At the heart of Leadville is singer / song writer Tom Buescher, whose wit and hooky song writing fuel the group. Buescher’s vocals have an earthy feel with the energy and passion of Paul Westerberg of the Replacements.

Leadville’s debut album, entitled Time Kills, is a collection of spry alt-country tunes inspired equally by jangle pop and gritty driving rock n’ roll reminiscent of St. Louis alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo. The songs are a candid snapshot of life in St. Louis touching on the universal subjects of death, cars, women, and alcohol. The album features guest appearances by Magnolia Summer’s Chris Grabau, and Grace Basement’s Kevin Buckley.

Leadville has appeared on the nationally released Hurricane Katrina benefit compilation Upstream / Downstream along with artists such as Jay Farrar of Son Volt. The band was nominated best Americana Band 2009 by the St. Louis Riverfront Times and performed at the SXSW music conference.
