Brain Leak is forged by singer-songwriter, Tara-Gabriella Engelhardt and expands to include Giulia Bonometti, Sidonie Hand-Halford and Jessica Branney.

Emotionally stripped and gamely accepting the stark risk of vulnerability, Manchester's nu-riot grrrl newcomer, Brain Leak began her journey learning guitar in the comfort of her bedroom in early 2022 with no plan but to channel her emotions. After a series of developments and evolution of her songwriting, she made her live debut in November 2024.

A Cardiff-raised French/US national, making home in amidst the roaring weekends and disappearing, Victorian industrial relics of Manchester, Engelhardt's growth into a semi-solo persona parallels her deeper and more profound personal realisations.

Recalling the hazier, heart-on-sleeve moments of powerhouse guitar expressionists, Hole or Mazzy Star, Engelhardt, also a member of tipped trio, Adjustments, welcomes Orielles drummer, Sidonie Hand-Halford to the fold, alongside former Blanketman drummer, Ellie-Rose Elliot, initiating shifts to meet overlapping touring and recording commitments. Peaness guitarist, Jess Branney, and former Working Mens Club guitarist, Giulia Bonometti complete the line-up to form an indomitable, Break Leak line-up.
