EP
Old School Leppard
Old School Leppard is an EP by Def Leppard, released on 5 March 2021 through FP. It arrived between the band's self-titled 2015 album and Diamond Star Halos, which followed in 2022, so it sits in the run-up to their twelfth studio record.
The title points to the band's early years, which began with On Through the Night in 1980 and High 'n' Dry in 1981, well before the Pyromania and Hysteria era.
