The band has been cited as a major influence by higher-profile hardcore punk acts such as Hot Water Music and Dillinger Four. Jack Rabid, music critic and publisher of the music magazine Big Takeover, once listed Leatherface's 1992 release Mush as one of the fifty greatest punk albums of all time.
Their ninth full length release ‘The Stormy Petrel’ was released to critical acclaim in February 2010 on their own record label Big Ugly Fish Recordings.

Not A Day Goes By
Leatherface Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nights turning into the days and we didn't notice the change
No I didn't think you were wrong and I can still sing your favorite song
It's not as simple as forgetting presents that were bought
And not a day goes by when I don't spare you a thought
Not a day not a day goes by not a day goes not a day goes by
Not a day not a day goes by not a day goes not a day goes by
At a time when everything was evergreen and seemingly ideal
Not a day not a day goes by not a day goes not a day goes by
Not a day not a day goes by not a day goes not a day goes by
Not a damn day
No I didn't think you were wrong and I can still sing your favorite song
It's not as simple as forgetting presents were bought
And not a day goes by I don't spare you a thought
Not a day not a day goes by not a day not a day
Not a day not a day goes by
A time when everything was evergreen evergreen and seemingly ideal
Not a day not a day goes by not a day goes not a day goes by
Not a day not a day goes by not a day goes by not a day goes by
Not a day not a day goes by not a day goes
The lyrics of Leatherface's song "Not A Day Goes By" seems to be about reminiscing about a past relationship that was seemingly perfect. The use of the phrase "evergreen and seemingly ideal" suggests that the relationship was once vibrant and full of life. The line "Nights turning into the days and we didn't notice the change" implies that they had something special that made the time fly by, without noticing the passing of days.
The singer then acknowledges that despite the relationship ending, they don't think their ex-partner was wrong, and they still remember and appreciate their favorite song. The line "It's not as simple as forgetting presents that were bought" suggests that the memories and feelings associated with the relationship are not something that can be easily forgotten. The refrain of "Not a day goes by" further emphasizes the idea that the memory of this past relationship looms large and is something that cannot be escaped.
Overall, the song appears to be a bittersweet reflection on a past love that was once perfect but ended for reasons that are not fully explained.
