Bio Leading Edge’s main goal is to use music as a catalyst for provoking emotion. The band’s ability to put on not only an aural, but visually exciting performance allows the band to achieve what they call "a completely entertaining experience." Their influences range from rock, pop, funk, and psychedelic.

The quartet consists of Matt Daniel, Seth Brown, David Beeco, and Eric Thompson.

The band’s sound has been referred to as very musical, as all of the members have been playing and performing since the ages of ten, but the band has not always existed as the quartet.

In 2005 in the small town of Social Circle, Georgia-Matt, David, and Seth formed the band named Mudra. They played various shows in the Social Circle, Athens, and surrounding areas in Georgia.

In 2008, Eric Thompson joined after meeting the members of Mudra in the University of Georgia Redcoat Marching band. The remained known as Mudra until one night of rehearsal was interrupted by complete darkness and silence. In confusion and despair the band stopped practicing and sat down to relax until the power returned. When the power came on so did the TV where the weatherman began talking about the leading edge of the storm brewing above their rehearsal site. From then on they began referring to themselves as Leading Edge.

Music is a means to move people whether it be emotionally or physically.

“We are in it, just to watch you have a great time.”

Members Matt Daniel, Eric Thompson, Seth Brown, David Beeco
