OVERVIEW Leaders Of Men is an alternative rock band based in Tallaght, Co. Dublin. The band was formed in early 2011 out of the ashes of a number of other bands including The Cades, The Neon Stars and The Last Remaining Lights. The group's full line up features Brian Ashe [Vocals], Ed Porter [Vocals & Guitar], Gav Glynn [Vocals & Guitar], David Lindsay [Bass Guitar] and Dean Byrne [Drums]. The band wasted no time in preparing its first release. The EP, entitled 'The Debut Collection' was released in August 2011 and featured 'Bite Your Tongue', 'Up Against The Wall', 'Happy Here' and 'Who's Waiting For Me'. The following month, the band won the national final of the 'Guinness Arthur's Day Play On The Day' competition. This resulted in the band getting to play a gig with Paolo Nutini and Stereophonics at the Guinness Hopstore. The prize also included a Hot Press cover, recording time, a single release and musical equipment. 2011 - Band formed - Release of 'The Debut Collection' EP [27 August] - Leaders Of Men win the national final of the 'Guinness Arthur's Day Play On The Day' competition [16 September]
