The Leo Project.
Founded in 2005 as an acoustic effort, The Leo Project has not so much found its niche as created one. Front man Tyler Lyon is joined by his cousin Lance Bennett on percussion and Sean Hamel on bass. Together they developed a sound and stage show that left acoustic in the dust but retained the musicality synonymous with that genre, becoming electric in every sense of the word. In 2007, the band’s search for the perfect complement to their already bold and virtuosic ensemble was completed by the addition of guitarist Creighton Bibbs. Exploring the Metal edge of Rock with searing instrumentals, the combined vocal talents of all four members gives The Leo Project a mature lyric and harmonic presence.
From their combined talents and influences The Leo Project distills a unique sound. On first listen, one will detect the eclectic elements of such diverse artists as Pantera, Phil Collins, ZZ Top and Van Halen but ultimately the aural experience will be all The Leo Project. All of this is packaged in an intense live show that offers the audience an event unlike any other. Touring relentlessly in support of their debut album “The Burning” they have established a reputation as one of the premiere acts in the Midwest. The Leo Project is sought after by a variety of venues that promise their patrons the ultimate concert experience. Fans and industry professionals alike have been impressed when The Leo Project shares the stage with performers like Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, 3 Days Grace, Seether, Slipknot, Sevendust, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Shinedown, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, 36 Crazyfists, Hinder, Powerman 5000, Bobaflex, Hypnogaja, and many more.
Early 2009 will see the release of The Leo Project’s much-anticipated second album. Studio work has been completed in collaboration with producer Fred Archambault (deftones, Avenged Sevenfold). This album showcases the bands special blend of soulful vocals, blistering guitars and pyrotechnic percussion while capturing the energetic yet intimate connection to the audience that is the hallmark of their live performances. Now on the indie label Burning Scissors Records, this is only the beginning for The Leo Project.
2008 ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
2008 Heavy Frequency Awards:
"Best Vocalist: Tyler Lyon"
"Best Drummer: Lance Bennet"
"Best Rock Band: The Leo Project"
"I have not seen a group this promising in a long time. They cover all the bases, from soft to hard, slow to fast in the blink of an eye. They were not excessively brutal, and throw in intense melodic riffs with excellent vocals from front man Tyler Lyon, especially when harmonized with bassist and backing vocalist Sean Hamel. The songwriting is beautifully arranged, these guys obviously have their act together."
-Jeanie Moore, Heavy Frequency Magazine
"The Leo Project, a four-piece, was the event's smallest band, but it definitely packed the hardest punch."
-Jason Harper, The Pitch
"The Leo Project rocked our balls off next. Singer Tyler Lyon plays an upside-down black Gibson SG left-handed and sings like a maniac. It¹s definitely mainstream, new-rock-influenced metal, but it sounds damn good and heavy."
-The Pitch
