OFF-LEASH (formerly known as Detention) is a high energy pop-punk/easycore band out of Akron, Ohio. Off-Leash is a four-piece consisting of singer Elliott Carter, guitarist Evan Cox, bassist Fritz Dannemiller, and drummer Luke Konopka. Having formed officially in early 2018, Off-Leash has been playing together for nearly 7 years, having played music together long before that. With each member’s music taste being vastly different from each other, Off-Leash utilizes musical inspiration from bands across many genres, including pop-punk, easycore, indie, hardcore, and emo. Off-Leash was voted “Best Punk Band” at the Cleveland music awards in both 2022 and 2023, and won Tri-C’s high school rock off at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020. Their newest single “Welcome Mat” drops on all streaming platforms this year on Halloween. Find Off-Leash on instagram at @offleash.live
