This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Leaf Hound''' are an English hard rock band that formed in 1970 out of the heavy [[blues rock]] band [[Black Cat Bones]]. Their 1971 debut album ''[[Growers of Mushroom]]'' is cited as a mixture of [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]], [[hard rock]], [[psychedelic rock]] and [[stoner rock]], and influenced those genres. They are often cited as pioneers of heavy metal,<ref name=Louder>((cite web |author=Sleazegrinder |date=1 April 2021 |title=Revolution: The story of the lost pioneers of heavy metal |url= https://www.loudersound.com/features/revolution-the-story-of-the-lost-pioneers-of-heavy-metal |work=Classic Rock |publisher=Louder |accessdate=19 January 2023))</ref> hard rock, psychedelic rock and stoner rock. They disbanded not long after recording the album. Vocalist Peter French reformed the band with a new lineup in 2004 and they released a studio album in 2007 and a live album in 2014.

==1970-1971: Original run==
Leaf Hound was established from a reformed lineup of blues rock band Black Cat Bones, who had released their only album, ''[[Barbed Wire Sandwich]]'', in February 1970.

Guitarist [[Rod Price]] departed soon after to join [[Foghat]], and French added his cousin Mick Halls on guitar.<ref name=Hart/> Keith George Young joined on drums. Soon afterwards, French changed the band's name to Leaf Hound, from a [[Ray Bradbury]] horror story titled "The Emissary",<ref name=Hart>((cite web |url= https://thevinylpress.com/leaf-hound-growers-of-mushroom-famous-obscurity-interview-with-peter-french%EF%BB%BF/ |title=Leaf Hound – Growers of Mushroom; Famous Obscurity; Interview with Peter French |first=Bill |last=Hart |date=19 February 2019 |work=The Vinyl Press |publisher= |access-date=18 December 2022))</ref> about a dog that returned from the dead covered in leaves.<ref name=Warth/> At this point the band consisted of French on vocals, Halls on lead guitar, brothers Derek Brooks and Stuart Brooks on rhythm guitar and bass respectively, and Young on drums.<ref name=Warth>((cite web |title=Leaf Hound – Growers Of Mushroom (Decca SKL-R 5094) 1971 |first=Mike |last=Warth |date= |publisher=The Sound Machine |url= https://www.thesoundmachine.uk.com/545-2/ |access-date=22 December 2022))</ref>

They recorded ''[[Growers of Mushroom]]'' at [[Mayfair Studios|Spot Studios]] in [[Mayfair]], London, in late 1970.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.leafhound.net/history.asp |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070314155336/http://www.leafhound.net/history.asp|url-status=dead |title=History |website=leafhound.net |archivedate=14 March 2007))</ref> Soon after, Halls told French that they did not need rhythm guitarist Derek Brooks any more, as Halls could do all the guitar playing, so they asked him to leave the band.<ref name=Hart/> His brother Stuart soon left as well, and was replaced by Ron Thomas on bass.<ref name=Breznikar>((cite web |url= https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2011/04/leaf-hound-my-interview-with-peter.html |title=Leaf Hound interview with Peter French |first=Klemen |last=Breznikar |author-link=Klemen Breznikar |date=19 April 2011 |website=[[It's Psychedelic Baby!

==2004-present: Re-formation and new music==
Peter French reformed the band with a new lineup, including [[Luke Rayner]] on guitar, in 2004. They released a limited 7" on [[Rise Above Records]] in 2006, featuring a live version of "Freelance Fiend" recorded in [[Soho, London|Soho]], London, in September 2005.<ref>((Cite web |url= http://riseaboverecords.com/prodview.asp?prodId=55 |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20070501011055/http://www.riseaboverecords.com/prodview.asp?prodId=55 |url-status=dead|title=Leaf Hound at Rise Above Records|archivedate=1 May 2007))</ref> The b-side is taken from the same recording. 

Leaf Hound released their second studio album ''Unleashed'' on 12 November 2007, 36 years after their debut album, on Rare Recording. It features eight new compositions and a reworking of Atomic Rooster's "Breakthrough". The album met with critical acclaim from the music press with ''[[Kerrang!]]'' calling it, "As good a rock album as you could hope to hear." ''[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]]'' magazine noted, "An unpretentious hard rock record, relying on strong songs and powerful performances." French and Rayner were also praised for their production skills, "Preserving the Classic Rock sound."

The band released ''Leaf Hound Live in Japan'', a live album recorded at a 2012 concert in Tokyo, as a special limited 500-only package consisting of a green-coloured vinyl LP, CD, and DVD and a hand-printed poster album cover.
The LP was later released in 2013 featuring a different album cover design on Ripple Music released on either black vinyl, or a CD/DVD package; there was also a very limited distribution issued of the vinyl in a yellow-and-black mottled design.

==Notes==
Stuart Brooks now lives in the Los Angeles area. He was a member of Wishing Well, a [[power trio]] led by guitarist/vocalist [[Greg Leon]], who issued their eponymous 1997 debut album on Tokuma Communications in Japan and on their own label stateside.

[[Wolfmother]] and [[Tame Impala]] have listed the group as an influence.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/t/wolfmother/|title=Wolfmother|website=Rolling Stone))</ref>
