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
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
Ha ha ha
The down south poser
The down south whatever
Ha yeah fuckin right

NEVER add water, it lengthens the time to render. Just put small pieces of lard and melt that first on low heat. I added water and it took over 5 hours to render. The second time with NO WATER it took only 3 hours.
Rocknrod
Hi. Made my first batch of lard today from pasteurized leaf fat. I used a large cast iron Dutch oven and let the fat render down for 5 to 7 hours at 180° in the kitchen oven. I have learned that the rendering temp must be over 140° to be safe. Rendering in the oven this way is very low and slow and very even. I chopped the fat as small as I could before rendering and ended up with 2 1/2 quarts of snow white lard from 4lbs of leaf fat. Thanks for the freezer tip I just moved my excess to the freezer after hearing your recommendation. 👍🏻

By snow white do you mean no odor and low porky taste?
jerry peacock
P.S. the cracklin drippings cook rabbit, quail, dove, and most lean meats moister. It's no different than using lace fat(gut fat) around lean roasts during baking.
When cooking your leaf fat out be sure to get it hot enough to insure a shelf life. Most cases gut fats have little flavor if hogs were not fed high grain diets. The fats rendered from meaty cuts, bellys, shoulders, or back, tend to be more porky flavored oils. This is something that will be lost to the younger people if not taught from there elders. Great job!
JT Stonne
Lard is best rendered low and slow until melted but then the heat should be raised to evaporate all the water. Once the boiling stops, it's pure fat and can be left at room temperature indefinitely.

My mother always rendered pork fat in a few large roasting pans in an oven set really low. We'd stir it occasionally and remove liquid fat as it accumulated. We never added water.
I had never heard of nor thought of adding water until I started watching YouTube. It seems like the added water would be counter productive. Meaning, it sets up prime breeding ground for organisms to breed and grow. Whereas pure fat is just that, fat and more shelf stable
Robert Arnsworth
I don't add water either. Counter intuitive. The fat of the lard keeps it from sticking
Dan Braun
You are an excellent instructor. You're always very thorough and give clear instructions.
Dee Cooper
Great video! Always nice to see different ways of making lard. Everyone has their preferred way & was nice to watch yours. I just did this for the first time ever with venison fat in my cast iron dutch oven. Not white like your but it worked 😉
Have a great day 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Christa Warrington
Another great video! We render in an enamel stock pot (water bath canner) in the oven at around 200 degrees. We find it strikes the perfect balance between stove-top "low and slow" and slow-cooker "set it and forget it".
