They took off as a high-school punk-rock band, trying to have fun and play some music. After fooling around and changing a few members at the beginning, they finally found the winning combination with the current line-up in February 2002 and hit the stage with it in April for the first time.

Punk-rock is what they were sworn to in the beginning, but after a few turning points, the music took a shift in direction towards screamo, which is what their first album “Underworld Kingdom” sounds like (punk-rock/screamo), and post hardcore. However, it is hard to label this band with a certain genre, as their music is quite versatile.

The first breakthrough for them came with their first video for “Winter Song” at the end of 2004, followed by their debut album “Underworld Kingdom” in 2005. The band became international after winning second place among 92 bands at a European festival in Graz, Austria, called Newcomer in May 2005. That guaranteed them a place on stage alongside huge bandslike Soulfly, Mad Caddies, The Real McKenzies… Leaf-fat is highly regarded in other aspects as well: their music is/will be featured on a Elan (ski/snowboard company) promo DVD and on a California based production team DPC Films; their album was also voted in the top ten at a Slovenian alternative radio station; they were featured on www.europunk.net as band of the month (March 2006).

In December 2007 they released there 2nd album titled “Rock Paper Scissors” and their 4th video for the song “Rockpaperscissors” which is on the album.

All in all, Leaf-fat are the kind of live act that won’t leave you indifferent. Their energy and power, devotion and self-confidence on stage will convince anyone who is willing to see them play, lend them an ear and give them a listen.

Leaf-fat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

It’s the down south depression
The living anxiety
The never ever good enough
The wishes he could be enough
The too nervous to try
Too pussy to die
Too low to stay fly
Only answer is getting high

Leaf
Ha ha ha
The down south poser
The down south whatever
Ha yeah fuckin right
Can I catch a all day long smoke break
This heartbreak
I'm feelin all kinda ways
I been in my head for days
Drinking till I’m thinking straight
But I don’t think it works like that
Smoking while I curse my dad
Give me all my feelings back
Funny thing he ain’t feeling back
He must think that he’s done with that
Real shit wish I was too
Chief I wish I was like you
Leaf I don’t think I like you
Why your mind wanna fight you
Why your heart don’t hype you
Catch myself feeling blue
Wanting death coming soon
On the moon on the way to certain doom
Gramps I love you gifting you these groovy tunes
Mind go off like loony toon
Bugging like the bunny do
Pain I’m all up under you
Clear the way I’m coming through
From morning to the afternoon
Thinking bout the afterlife aftermath
Wait what’s after that
Oh god where’s my pastor at
Oh stop bring my daddy back
Pull away in my Cadillac
Driving wrong way down the open track
Cop asked for my ID
Didn’t have it so he shot me
Oh god he got me
Then he went and planted tree
Tried to make me thu g
Media be like oh leaf
Gunned down by the police
Put a pic I’m throwing gang signs
I was in high school and it was one time
They put a pic when I had my dreads
On my wanted poster cause they want me dead
White man yell don’t get ahead
All that shit it’s in ya head
Niggas kill niggas it’s blue and red
Yeah I know we know it too
Worst fears is coming true
Make it out when the winter bloom
That’s what 200 years will do to you
Hate me cause I’m proud and black
Can’t be quiet in the back
Whole life been under attack
Whole life I been coming back
Underdog giving uppercuts
I made it out cause I ain’t give a fuck
What about lil Tyrell
Know he that ain’t feelin well
Momma is a crack fiend
Daddy do that jail thing
Older brother in the set
Cause you give what you get
How’s he supposed to dream bigger
When the world screams you a nigga
Catch myself feeling blue
Wanting death coming soon
On the moon on the way to certain doom
Gramps I love you gifting you these groovy tunes
Mind go off like loony toon
Bugging like the bunny do
Pain I’m all up under you
Clear the way I’m coming through
From morning to the afternoon
Thinking bout the afterlife aftermath
Wait what’s after that
Oh god where’s my pastor at
Oh stop bring my daddy back
Pull away in my Cadillac
Driving wrong way down the open track
I just think I’m tired running
Facing fears hunting hustling
Busy boi I been bustling
Someday I be living good
How I should
Only do it how I would
Smoking woods with T and T
Hotboxin air bnb
Fighting to just feel free
When you hear this hope you feel me
This be my heart mind and soul
Maybe why it sounds so low
Watch me as my lights go
Did he spend it right though?
Funny thing you can never know
I been busy dreaming planting seeding in the garden
Growing often leaf I got em just step back smoke your problems
Think how you gon solve em cause you be falling in the autumn
And the clock is ticking down
I don’t think you’ll make it out
Young suns coming down
Young suns burning out
Do you hear them growing loud
The demons lil child
They say they have your father
I told em why bother
They say hey we have-
Why fuckin bother
Bloodless brothers
Nother mother
Choose my family
Understand me
I ain’t thinking
I’m just loving
All this smoke it got me buzzin
Leaf I really hope you're something
Cause I just think you’re fuckin nothing
Thanks leaf for all the loving
Mirror talk walk the walk
Off a tightrope made a chalk
Seeing god in smoke rings
Think this shit just broke me
Remember when I was hoping
To be glad not bad
Too bad so sad

Screaming out hi dad
I’m so mad

Thanks for watching everyone! Here's the link to our Cutting up a pig video: https://youtu.be/u1hlaWVzwAo

Mike Janson

Can u do beef brisket fat and pork fat together?

O P

5y↑6

By the way, you can take the leftovers from the this, brown them a bit more if they need it, squeeze them firmly to drain more fat, and then just eat them salted with bread. It's called "Grammeln" in German, and they're great.

I got a HUGE pork loin cut that was completely unworked by the butcher with a very large amount of silverskin and fat on it for a dirt cheap price ( more than likely because it wasn't butcher trimmed ) and this video helped me a lot. The amount of fat I was able to render was about a quarter of this amount but I felt very good not wasting anything that I bought. It really squeezed out every penny I paid for it.

My mother and grandmother chopped it coarsely too, and it’s always came out fantastic 👌I liked your oven method instead of making the lard on the stove, certainly going to make it your way👍thanks a lot Chef Glen 🌸💕

Thanks so much for this. I rendered the lard from back fat when I bought a pork leg. It was great in pastry for the sausage rolls I made.
Your process made much more sense than how I did mine

You can also do some in a slow cooker. The last batch I just finished was done in a countertop turkey roaster. Love lard!

Briguy1027

Wow what a great idea -- because I didn't like the idea of running my oven for so long, and I don't have great containers for it, but I do have a slow cooker.

Betty Vorley

@Malika De Leon I use the low setting on mine, make sure you cut it up into very small pieces or even grind it..

Malika De Leon

I have a basic slow cooker. What setting should I use? Low or high?

Angela Baldwin

I use my lard for sopapillas. I've used other fats, butter, shortening, straight canola oil (don't recommend) and my sopapillas are always the best with lard. They're much more tender and fluffy, and so worth it.

Malacabeza60 Delgado

When I was growing up back in Cuba my mom always used it for different dishes to give it some flavor, and polenta is one dish that comes to mind now, pour some pork lard on top the polenta when it's almost done and stir and mix it well, it gives the polenta a wonderful extra flavor.

When lard goes on prosciutto for hanging for 10 to 12 months.... will the pork lard go rancid over this time period?! Thanks so much for your videos... making great food at home is so fun. We live on a farm a couple hours from the city. We would often go into the city for "good food" at nice restaurants. I began cooking for myself and my son gave the best complement in saying "why go to the city... food is better here" ! thanks again for your videos!

Emily R

Can you please make a flan! And compare a 6 egg flan vs a 12 egg flan! I don’t really care for eggs so I usually make the flan with the least amount of eggs but I’m wondering if maybe adding more eggs will make it taste better and not necessarily taste more eggy

Norman Wilson

I love watching your videos, i would love to see you make a Japanese jiggly puffy cheesecake. 😁🎂🍰

Apple Gal

I like how foolproof your method is. Thanks for sharing! If I ever see pork fat on sale, I might just try this.

Joanna Gray

keep in mind that a lot of pork fat that makes it to market is salted to preserve it, soaking it in cold water will make the end result much better

Dwayne Wladyka

Thanks for another great video. You could use that for pie crusts, biscuits, and much more. Cheers!

I'm rendering tons of fat from the butcher shop I work at. It's great for lamp oil when you're out in the wild.

"Welcome friends" -- Me every time: HI GLEN

Lance Harsh

Not to be a pain in your side, if your rendering at such a low temp for such a long time there's no need to preheat your oven. Love what you do.

Glen And Friends Cooking

5y↑3

Put the oven on, start cutting, by the time I'm done cutting the oven is hot. Not a big deal.

Stephen Coote

Thank you. I went hunting and got one of the fattest wild pigs I've ever seen. A fat pig is rare around here. Now I want to save the lard. Best wishes from New Zealand.

It looks easy enough. Now getting a pig carcass could be a bit of a challenge.

wolfthequarrelsome

@Hunter Davis if it's free range rather than intensive farmed.. Especially in US.

bonehead0816

5y↑3

Its easy to get a pig, cheaper to buy meat as a whole animal too.

Hunter Davis

I'm fairly certain you could just ask for the un-rendered fat from a butcher and buy it there.

Glen! Can you please post a video on sharpening kitchen knives? Just got a new block of knives and think a tutorial on caring for them and keeping them sharp would be great!

Glen M

I would start by saying it is unlikely they need to be sharpened, unless you're cutting on a very hard surface or through a lot of bones. Honing and basic cleaning will keep most knives going well for many years.

Anthony

5y↑5

Awesome video! Is it gonna' be tortilla time soon? Or have you already done tortillas? I have made so many tortillas, so easy, and so delicious.

gildone84

You only need to add water if you are going to cook it on the stovetop, that way, the pot stays at 212 degrees.

wolfthequarrelsome

Very good. Thanks for the explanation

Mike Reves

5y↑6

So what can you do with that flap once you've drained the lard? Can you use it for anything?

Lothar Erkens

Cracklins - You eat them

blind Mikes adventures

Your message sound a bit better than what I found it in an old cookbook from the 17 and 1800's I can't remember the name of the cookbook now but I think it even said to add a bit of water to the fair but as far as I remember we had a family member that used to do this and never added water either but the oven technique is a good idea I tried to do this once and when I did it I did it on the stove and not being able to see as well struggled with it I think the oven is probably a better idea

I actually had to stop the video to tell you how refreshing it is to see someone holding their fingers properly when using a knife! :o)

Roger

If the desire is to minimize the amount of water in the lard, why cover the pot in the oven? It seems that water will condense on the lid and drip back into the product. Leaving it open would eliminate more water and the fat doesn't evaporate. Please reply, I want to understand this process.

Nagoya Jon

5y↑1

I like that video. But really look forward to seeing how you make prosciutto

Gregory Calzada

Glenn goes old school 😎

Sy Bernot

could this be done at a lower temp in a sous vide rig?

Simon Ahnberg

a little tip for the future. Cut it all at once. and THEN move it to the pot. Soo you don´t have to loose soo much time.

Sharon Puder

How do you clean up after rendering lard? Do you wash your utensils in your sink with hot, soapy water? Do you take it outside and wash the utensils and pour the soapy water in your yard? I haven't seen anyone address this issue and I'm wondering what to do as I don't really want greasy water going down my kitchen drain. I would appreciate someone commenting on this. Thank you.

Roger

Hot soapy water works for most items. If you accidentally burn or have a real messy item, use an oven cleaner that has sodium hydroxide (pure lye is perfect), it works like magic on greasy things!

Reginal Tucker

Wonder if you could use a crockpot on low?

Pure Exile

I just put my fat in an air fryer set to bake at 300 and I let it drip down to the pan then pour it into a strainer/jar. Takes me 1 hour.

Caleb Angell

Not gonna lie, I thought leaf lard was a different term for vegetable shortening.

Andrea's Rural Kitchen

Doing this today in crock pot 😏

Luke

How long would you say fat would be good for after rendered ?

Joanna Gray

5y↑1

if kept in the fridge it should be good for ~6-9 months. (but between you and me pork lard freezes really well and it'll be good for years) keep in mind though, this picks up bad odors super easily so the best way to keep it is in a jar with really tight fitting lid

Camila

Mine did not solidify. Do you know why?

Primy Fritzellz

Are the residue from cooking this fat any useful, or do you just throw that away?

Doomblitz

They're quite tasty crumble them up maybe put a little bit of it each time you make a salad.

One pound of natural leaf lard is US$26.00 on Amazon.
