Scandinavian Leather

Scandinavian Leather is an album by the Norwegian band Turbonegro that followed the band's reunion in 2002 and was released in April 2003 on Burning Heart Records in Sweden, on Bitzcore Records in Germany, on JVC/Victor Records in Japan, and on 6 May 2003 on Epitaph Records in the United States.

Music and lyrics
With Scandinavian Leather Turbonegro returned to a more rock style, continuing that found on Apocalypse Dudes with a development of the 'deathpunk' sound. While the songwriting is reminiscent of that of the Ramones, the sound is more multi-layered, including string arrangements, harmonic backing vocals, arena rock influences and psychedelic undertones, which the band coined "Rainbow Rock", or deathpunk with a pop sensibility.
