Leisure Hour - ...and to think

Leisure Hour is a midwest emo/pop-punk band from Muncie, IN, who have been rapidly growing their fanbase by playing loud, looking slay, and building an intimate community around their band. A relentless DIY touring schedule and word-of-mouth response from show-goers and the online scene alike have helped build anticipation for their debut full length record titled … and to think. The upcoming LP will compile several new songs, alongside numerous previously released singles released throughout 2025, including “Ode to Muncie”, “Jenny”, and “Happy Birthday!”, which have all featured in TikTok videos gaining hundreds of thousands of views.

… and to think centers around the the band processing the pain loved ones have caused. Dealing with grief, anger, and regret, Leisure Hour found freedom from these emotions by telling their stories as raw and honest as possible.  The album lets Leisure Hour express themselves in a way that paid homage to the midwest emo and pop punk music we fell in love with at 15.

“Leisure Hour is a band with 3 artists in it. All with our own individual experience. We write songs individually about our personal stories and attempt to create songs around those stories together that are both energetic and emotional. Overall, “…and to think” is a collection of our traumatic experiences played loud and fast.”
