In an interview where he admitted to having fantasies about beating up their drummer, The Killers lead singer, Brandon Flowers, also admitted to a strange fear he had as a child which has spawned a bit of a discrimination technique today: he does not like bearded men because he used to be afraid of them as a child. He said: I have no idea where the fear came from. Maybe from thinking they were trying to hide themselves. When I was six or seven years old, if I saw a man with a beard I’d cling to my mother. I was just convinced they were going to take me away.” I want you to look at the picture and ask yourself a logical question: but wait, doesn?t Brandon Flowers have a beard? Or by bearded men does he mean the sailor-like bearded men who haven?t shaved since they left home at 16? Still it is a strange little irony.

Meet Lesley Roy ? a 21 year old singer/ songwriter/ guitarist hailing from Balbriggan, Ireland. The Irish rocker discovered her passion for music at a young age, learning to play trumpet, saxophone and guitar all by age ten. Further inspired by her mother?s musical background, she began writing songs at fourteen and was well on the way to developing her advanced songwriting abilities.
Roy left the small suburb of Dublin after getting discovered by Jive Records and headed to New York City to begin crafting her album. She worked with plenty of industry heavyweights on the debut effort including Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, Sugababes) and Desmond Child (Bon Jovi, Aerosmith). Her first single, ?I?m Gone, I?m Going? was produced by Max Martin (Britney Spears, NSYNC) who also exec produced the album. With an array of supercharged guitar hooks and irresistible vocal melodies, ?I?m Gone, I?m Going? will appeal to fans of Paramore, Kelly Clarkson, and more.
About her debut album, Roy says, ?there are a couple of themes that run through the album, evolving around the many different aspects in relationships, whether it is loss of love, not wanting to be in love, trying to help a friend through their own issues?unrequited love and the happiness and excitement of being in love.? The self-proclaimed shy girl who sites Melissa Etheridge and U2 among her influences strives to connect with her fans through her painfully honest lyrics and cannot wait to rock out with her new material on stage.
