Hero & Leander

Born in 2010 and hailing from Liverpool, Essex and Reading, Hero & Leander share their origins with the Beatles, Blur, and, more significantly, Little Chef. Gary Cansell (vocals, guitar), Marc Sephton (guitar), James Halls (bass) and Scot Lewis (drums) knew each other from previous bands. They met Andy Jones (piano, vocals) and Emily Sills (vocals) online. When Emily first met Gary and Andy, she thought they might be internet killers or something, and she made sure her friends knew where she was. Happily, it turned out well. They sang songs, ate crisps, and told the rest of the band that "it sounds quite good, actually".
