Originally starting as a side project in 1999 and hailing from the small town of Borlänge in the depths of Sweden’s Dalarna Country, GREENLEAF have since become a force in the stoner scene. The band only became serious in 2013 – after a decade of being a loose collective project – when guitarist Tommi Holappa (DOZER) reached out to classically trained and charismatic vocalist Arvid Hällagård (GIANT SPACE CRUISER) to sing on a new track. Alongside drummer Sebastian Olsson, the band played a few shows and realised that the new vocal direction and infectious onstage chemistry demonstrated that GREENLEAF had some mileage and could become bigger than a stop-gap project for downtime from the member’s other bands. 


With nine albums under their belt already, the band return with their latest offering – and fourth album with Hällagård – The Head & The Habit. Ten years since the release of their landmark album Times & Passes, GREENLEAF provide an album that is energised by their past successes but steeped in the maturity of a band that is well-versed in rocking harder and stronger than anyone else. With that in mind, on first impression, The Head & The Habit is a vibrant, energetic and uplifting album that shows GREENLEAF are back to their very best.
