East Nashville based rock band Her Leather Jacket is already making a name for themselves as the spirit of the early pop-punk scene prevails in the music and the atmosphere they create. When Manny Blu (vocals) found himself in the right setting, he was finally able to create the band and the music he wanted since moving to Nashville in 2018. Blu had an open slot for a best friend, and drummer Wes Snyder was first in line. Citing such influences as Blink-182, The All-American Rejects, and All Time Low, the duo debuted with their self-titled EP in Fall 2023 embracing the pop-punk sound, but they're calling 2024 their "Fuck You" Era with a chaotically epic new EP on the horizon. The essence of HLJ: make good fucking music and have a good fucking time.
