Artist Information

Faded Leroy is a Boise-based rock band formed in 2012. They bring a high- energy blend of aggressive rock and melody, combining well-crafted songs with explosive dynamics to take their listener on a journey. With a solid rhythm section, distorted guitar, and two contrasting vocalists, Faded Leroy create their own soundscape borrowing elements from traditional rock n' roll, punk, and metal. With an emphasis on solid vocal melodies, catchy guitar hooks, and dynamic range, they deliver their own brand of rock, while also touching on themes such as self-reflection, conflict, and love.

On March 25, 2014, Faded Leroy released their first full length album, "Days Between Stations". The singles from the album, "Memes", “Donʼt Microwave My Cheeseburger”, and “Through The Window Pane” received radio play in the Northwest. On May 19, 2017, the band released their second album, “Have Hope”, a landmark that represented both their beginnings and the future of the band. The singles “Typecast” and “Chariots” have both received radioplay. In January of 2018 the band released their first music video for the song “Chariots”.

The members of the band are building on years of experience performing live with previous bands. Faded Leroy has earned the privilege of sharing the stage with national acts such as Devour The Day, Trapt, Royal Bliss, Like A Storm, Crazytown, L.A. Guns, Enuff Z Nuff, Hellʼs Belles, Fit For Rivals and Wayland. Faded Leroy take pride in professionalism and putting everything they have into their performances. They look forward to sharing their music with you.

Press Reviews

“What can be declared definitively is that fairly new Boise band Faded Leroy uncorks the post-hardcore singing/shrieking vocal contrast like clockwork. If youʼre a fan of , , Silverstein, etcetera – therefore not wincing during Faded Leroyʼs harsh laryngitis bouts – standout tracks such as the album opener “Memes” and the dreamlike hidden track “Imaginarium” might feel well-conceived and powerful. Production flourishes give these songs polish. This isnʼt metal. Itʼs midpaced, dynamic rock with enough inviting guitar hooks to keep things interesting. Youʼll even hear musical hints of old-school bands such as AFI and At The Drive-In scattered throughout typical life-challenging lyrical themes.” - Michael Deeds, The Idaho Statesman

“If you like your music borne of the realm between melodic hard rock and metal, high production values and hooky melodies and delivered via wrenching screams (and some singing), Days Between Stations, the debut full-length from local rock band Faded Leroy belongs in your library.” -Amy Atkins, Boise Weekly

“…Faded Leroyʼs frontman Jeremy Cummings brought a power-packed performance to the stage with his explosive vocals and an expressive stage presence. The band seamlessly worked together to create an extremely passionate performance. Engaged and energized throughout their performance, the band had no reservations about the small crowd. Faded Leroy put on a show that was worthy of a much bigger venue. The band was down to earth and an all- around class act.” - Michael Prentice, BSU University Pulse Radio

“Faded Leroy kicked off the festivities with its own brand of punk-tinged rock and . The rhythm section of bassist Brian “Rasta” Lewis and drummer Beau Kolar was tight and steady. Harsh vocalist Jeremy Cummings got his scream- Rain-Man-swerve on while guitarist and clean vocalist Brendan Nickel contrasted his straight-from-the-tractor visage with an energetic and charismatic performance. Nickel made his Gibson SG sing; the highlight of which came during a spaced out solo on the performance highlight, “The Quest”, from the bandʼs album, Days Between Sations. –Rustyn Rose, Examiner.com
