Exploring disillusionment, frustration, anger, strength and hope, LEO’s songs range from mild and melancholy to bold and thunderous, capturing a broad spectrum of influence that includes Led Zeppelin, Helmet, Jeff Buckley, Ours, and Muse.  In 2001, singer Ian Eddy formed LEO in Cleveland.  

Writing music means something different to every artist. For frontman Ian Eddy, it is a language that speaks to his soul, inspiring an insatiable motivation to create. He named the band LEO as an acknowledgement of this inexplicable force.  “I’m an Aries, and Leo is supposed to be my perfectly matched partner,” he explains, “I named the band LEO because music is my perfect partner.”
