LEASHY is a Fort Collins-formed power pop force, fronted by supernova songwriter and performer Alysia Kraft. Since exploding onto the scene in 2022, LEASHY has taken shape as a high-voltage trio featuring Shane Zweygardt (Dead Pioneers) on drums and Oliver Mueller (Slow Caves) on bass — a Colorado supergroup channeling raw energy into razor-sharp, hook-heavy indie rock. Think emotional whiplash in the best way: angsty, warm, irreverent, and cathartic all at once — recommended for fans of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Wet Leg.

Their 2023 debut EP Electric Blooms lit up the soundtrack of indie film Tina Tina Bo Beena, while their 2024 single BIG FISH IN THE BLOODSTREAM snagged “Best Original Music” at the Berlin Short Film Festival via its haunting collab with the short film Sardine. Crowned the Colorado Sound’s 2023 winner for Outstanding Live Performance, LEASHY is more than a band — it’s a full-body experience. At its core is Kraft: a punk-charged, pop-playful supernova of Northern Colorado, commanding the stage with wild, fearless joy.
