“Lee Patterson are not one man called Lee but in fact two people called Adam Martin and Jack Blenkinsop who make fast trashy metal. The noise rock duo from London are a fearsome proposition that blew us away when we first heard them. Just listen to “Bomb Squad” for a taste of their brutal and brilliant sound.”
