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"

Sexy Rory's Blog

So, been around for a little bit now and made some friends, been involved in an affair (not naming no-one), made some fuck buddies and found out I hate quite a lot of people. So in other words, so far so good. :D
Our first EP should be out soon, we're going to head into the studio later this month to start recording. We've wrote 6 songs that will be put onto it and some b-sides for the singles aswell, we may even release a single early next month.
We're also working on getting a supporting spot for a UK tour sometime to promote the EP. :)

better than your average joe

UserPostedImage



Track: Better Than Your Average Joe
Genre: Alternative Rock
Label: Unsigned
Release: 25 June 2012
Recorded: Kings Cross, London
Produced by: Taylor Asbridge
Writen by: Rory Delaney




Sleeping beside me, all hung over
Are you pleased to see me?
When you realise that's he's coming home
Are you pleased to see me?
'cause we talked, then we walked for about an eternity
We shared drinks, then a kiss and then things got a little dirty
He's stepping through the door
He's not pleased to see me

You don't need him
You need me
Don't give him all that shit about how it's not you, it's me
Don't say it was the drinks
I know how you think
You want to be here with me

I'm better than your average Joe
Do you still believe me?
Tell you things that I know that no one else knows
Do you still believe me?
'cause we kissed for a while, while you were in denial
Sweaty nights for a smile
Are you pleased to see me?
You're asking for more, while he's in tears on the floor
I guess you believe me

You don't need him
You need me
Don't give him all that shit about how it's not you, it's me
Don't say it was the drinks
I know how you think
You want to be here with me
And you'll never know happiness like this
He makes you cry, I make you beg for a kiss
Swapping sadness and pain for eternal bliss
It's an oportunity too good to miss

Sleeping beside me, all hung over
Are you pleased to see me?
When you realise that's he's coming home
Are you pleased to see me?
I'm better than your average Joe
Do you still believe me?
He's stepping through the door
He's not pleased to see me

Report from Culture Uncut:

Culture Uncut wrote:
topLADs Singer Breaks Arm During GigUserPostedImage

Rory Delaney, lead singer of upcoming band topLADs has broken his arm during a local gig that his band performed in tonight. The frontman, who's had a controversial start to his music career following his reputation of a guy who likes to sleep around and has been a true hit with the women, has landed in a spot of bother by breaking his arm whilst joining in a wall of death during his own song, causing himself to get knocked to the ground, landing awkwardly on his arm, resulting in a break. Following this, he managed to complete the remainder of the gig, playing out 2 more songs before being rushed to a local A&E.

The band, who have just come off of releasing their first single, "Better Than Your Average Joe" have been working well to make a name for themselves, and spoke to a Culture Uncut reporter on the incident. Drummer George Edwards gave his verdict on the incident, "Yeah, well from the drums, it was pretty hard to see what went down, y'know? He went down to join the crowd as he usually does and as soon as the circle come together you never see what happens inside from the stage but once he came back to the stage we could all see he was in pain. Fair dos to him though, we asked him if he wanted to call the rest of the gig off and he told us to carry on. He's out of hospital now though, and he should be okay."

better than your average joe hits #13

UserPostedImage

Better Than Your Average Joe, the debut single of topLADs has powered it's way into #13 in the charts, marking the start of topLADs rise to fame. The band hit a massive high by ranking above massive artists and bands such as Weekend, Kato, Cristina Lake and Stephanie Fierce despite the band currently being unsigned and without a record deal. The great start for the band should likely bring the name 'topLADs' to the attention of a few record label owners over the next few weeks as they search to find a record deal that will suit to them. The single will be on topLADs upcoming EP, 'Let's Skip The Minor Details' but the band are not yet decided on whether the song will play a part on any album in the future, claiming that the world 'hasn't seen the best of them yet.'

The LADs have been signed!

Following the success of 'Better Than Your Average Joe' the LADs had been approached by Liberation/Nomad Records, which led to the band penning down a two album deal.
