Relentless and uncompromising yet soaring and intricate, Waking Theo weld the brutal to the beautiful to create music that is both stunning and epic. Drawing influence from a vast cross-section of metal, from pummelling, classic thrash, through to modern-day melodic death, Waking Theo carve out a sound that is both evocative and different, displaying the perfect balance between extremity and accessibility.

Since forming in 2005, the Yorkshire based quintet have honed their precise and energetic performance style with devastating effect, resulting in a hard hitting live show few underground bands can match. This has led to their selection for support slots with names such as Malefice, Trigger the Bloodshed, Mendeed, Biomechanical and many more.

In 2011, Waking Theo self-released their second EP, ‘Ghost in the Machine’ which was to be their final release with Mikey Slatcher on vocals. In early 2012 the band parted ways with their singer of 6 years as a result of musical differences and welcomed aboard Craig Gordon to complete the current line-up. As of now, the band is in the process of writing fresh material with a view for a release before the end of the year.

Brett Lee Started Writing Song around 5 years ago, his inspiration? Writing songs from his heart. Songs about peoples problems, his own or friends and relatives around him. As a shy little kid he decided it was time to step out of his bedroom and let the public finally see what he was creating. 

After Entering local competitions and being victorious he decided to enter the competition "Live and U
nsigned 2010".
 
After Making it all the way threw to the Area Finals singing his own creations, and managing to make it to the final 100 out of 10 000 entries he just missed out on a place at the final at the o2 area in London. 

Success in the competition led to a Live performance on Real Radio's Breakfast show and the urge to start a new chapter.
 
The Band "Northern Torch" was created. the band was made to work closely on the songs Brett was writing, and after a year of successful gigs,the release of E.P "Scream" online, being filmed and recording by BBC Introducing and a successful Music Video, the band split in August 2011, Due to other commitments.
 
So now after 9 months out writing, its time for a new chapter of music from Brett Lee, Gig Listings and Venues to be Announced Soon,
