Lead by Lies is a Welsh Metal/Rock band that was originally started as a five piece metalcore band by a bunch of lads in Cardiff that built a small but loyal following playing live in venues around the South Wales area.
A pandemic lockdown and a few member changes over the years and now the band have come out the other side with a new direction and a line-up that works like a dream in the studio and will be bringing a new energy with heavy hitting Hard Rock/Metal, some anthemic, slower tracks going all the way to riff-based head-bangers.
LINE-UP
Ryan - Vocals & Guitar
Lead singer, songwriter and guitars for LBL, A guitarist and multi-instrumentalist from a young age, Ryan also does a lot of the audio production and engineering for the band.
Currently a Supported Artist with Blackstar Amplification there's a song to be made about the ultimate love story of Ryan and his Blackstar St James 6l6.
Corey - Guitar & Backing Vocals
The newest addition to the band, Corey is long-time friend and part-time roadie of Ash. Playing guitar for 8 years, Corey is the biggest fan you'll find of PRS guitars and what he can do with his PRS CE-24 into his Victory V30 is... well, music to your ears!
Ash - Bass
A bassist of nine years, the self proclaimed "Emo of The Band" is just about as much of a bass gear geek as they come. Whatever bass Ash plays, he always comes back to his Harley Bentons' of which his collection never seems to stop growing. Combined with his use of Darkglass and Tech 21 effects, Ash's bass tone is a bassist's bass tones... and boy it sounds good.
Sam - Drums & Backing Vocals
Yes, we have a drummer who can sing whilst playing drums. Who knew drummers could multitask?
Sam has a unique ability where he can bring any song to life. If given the worst song in the world, Sam could bring it to life. Playing a Sonor Force kit and a Mapex Panther snare, his drumming punches his mark onto what Makes Lead by Lies. you can always spot him by his hat and trademarked lack of shirt at any show.
