topLADS are a British alternative rock band originating from Kings Cross in London. The band consists of Rory Delaney, Chris Fielding, Zak Collins and George Edwards. The band have been supporting minor acts in pubs and small venues and have picked up a high reception for their witty and cocky attitudes, their high energy performances and their ability to perform and do what they love: playing music. The band got noticed when supporting a fellow minor London band by Taylor Asbridge, who has agreed to produce some of the band's work, including their upcoming EP: "Let's Skip The Minor Details" which is set for release in August 2012. All four members of the band met during their school days and formed topLADS after they all finished college. The band became one of the first bands to hit the top 10 in the Digital Charts while being unsigned, reaching #8 with their debut single, "Better Than Your Average Joe" which also hit peaks of #12 in the Airplay Charts and #3 in the Alternate/Indie Charts. The impressive start for the band landed them a record deal with Liberation/Nomad Records. They have also released their second single, "Good Morning" which went straight to #1 in the Digital Charts, marking topLADs first ever number one. At the third Fans Choice Awards, the band won the award for "Best New Artist" and Rory Delaney was a nominee for "Sexiest Male"Origin:
