About

The Leather Nun, also known as Lädernunnan, is a Swedish rock band. The band was formed in 1979 in Gothenburg by Jonas Almquist (vocals, guitar) to record a b-side to a single for the English record label Industrial Records. He recruited Bengt "Aron" Aronsson (guitar), Freddie Wadling (bass) and Gert Claesson (drums). Wadling, Aronsson and Claesson had already played together in Straitjacket, a band that had split up due to disagreements.
