Forming in Leicester at the beginning of 2003 from the ashes of other bands, Proud To Have Met You use their similar tastes in music to form the basis and grounding of their songs, whilst using their own personal influences to craft their unique sound.
The history between the four members could not be more complicated but all you need to know is that Proud To Have Met You are Phil Poole, vocals and lyricist, Dale Major, guitarist and co-song writer with bass player Ben Little. Finally the backbone of the band is drummer Matt Smith.
Having already taken the local music scene by storm, Proud To Have Met You are now widely recognised as one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the midlands, gaining a loyal following thanks to their blistering live shows that no recording could ever justify. The songs dont have a hidden agenda or any romantic bullshit rammed down your throat. Theyre about real life from being on the dole to going out and getting loaded. They make you want to get up and throw yourself in to the mosh-pit with their foot stomping mega riffs, whilst still possessing the ability to chill you out and get you grooving with their funk inspired musings.
Since their first gigs in the summer of 2003 Proud To Have Met You have gone from strength to strength, from gaining regular airplay on Pulse Rated radio in 2005, to winning the media covered Original Band Showcase 2006 in Leicester and turning in a stunning performance at the 2006 Glastonbudget Festival.
With an extensive back catalogue of songs and new material in the pipeline Proud To Have Met You continue to gig around the UK, extending their fan base and inspiring audiences everywhere they visit.
