SpeedTheory were formed in the autumn of 2004 after the break up of Alex and Jay's old band Code:Dead. After drummer Alex Hannon left Code:Dead in the summer of 2004 the band split shortly after, leaving everyone to go their separate ways. Not wanting to give up on music, Alex asked Jay if he wanted to join him in a new project, an offer he promptly accepted. This left a bassist, vocalist and second guitarist to be found. This was not achieved until October 2004 when Alex and Jay were asked to group together with other musicians for a local performance project to play a few songs at a school performance, then drummer Bob Gibbons was asked to take on the bass duties for a performance of Metallica's 'For Whom The Bell Tolls', he joined the band shortly afterwards, luckily along with Bob came long time friend and guitarist Wes Davies (who both had similar musical tastes), and the band was looking complete. When this line-up was achieved the band set about writing songs
that would be sure to take them to the top of the heavy metal ladder. After months of searching for a vocalist with very little success, the band decided that Wes should take on lead vocals and Bob would do secondary vocals, and the SpeedTheory that is, was complete.In August 05 they recorded their 1st EP Vengeance which won Demo of the Month in Metal Hammer & 2006 brings a UK Tour.They now look to the future and world domination.
