FlyLeaf
The process of heavy metal and passionate melodies created the band Flyleaf where music styles collide. The band started forming when Lacey Mosley (lead singer) and James Culpeper (drummer) began playing with each other soon they recruited two guitarists Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya.
Everyone had different experiences and inspirations so during practice they began experimenting with tones, pedals, melodies and basically blending themselves together from all their influences. In 2002 they gained the bassist Pat Seals and Mosley began to focus on vocals taking a step away from the bass.
The band was originally named Passerby releasing 3 EP's they played the circuit in Texas under a booking company called Runt Entertainment. Eventually in 2004 they played a showcase for RCA Records in NYC trying to get signed but got passed by. However, Octone Records saw them play and was very interested which eventually lead to an official record deal January 7, 2004.
