Backstory:
Extraneous Leader, an enigmatic group originating in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, was formed in the late spring of 2015. The band was conceived when five strangers, all from different parts of the world, found themselves sharing a loft in the bohemian district of the city. It was here, surrounded by the colorful chaos of urban life, that their shared passion for music led them to come together and create something truly unique.
The band’s name, Extraneous Leader, is a nod to their collective journey, with each member of the band being an ‘extraneous’ addition to the city’s melting pot, and ‘leader’ signifies their shared goal to guide listeners towards an emotional journey through their music. Over the past few years, they have gained a significant following due to their honest storytelling and eclectic sound.
