Lace Weeper are a Hard Rock band from Dublin, Ireland, they counter driving hard rock rhythms with mellow acoustics, and a keen sense of melody. The idea for the project was started in March 2010 by guitarist Matt Hayward and vocalist Sebastian Florek. Matt had previously fronted various Hard Rock bands as a vocalist, and had worked with artists such as Nick Pollock (My Sister's Machine/Tanks Of Zen/Soulbender), Edie Brickell and Kevin Wood (Malfunkshun). His switch to full time guitar and harmonies gave room to Sebastian, who was looking to move on from previous projects. Hailing from Poland, Sebastian exhibits a highly diverse and powerful vocal range, which Hayward first heard while in a recording studio in Wicklow, Ireland. The duo's mutual position of being without a band and overwhelming passion to make music, lead to creating something original and heartfelt. Upon formation, Lace Weeper released a demo, simply titled ''The Lace Weeper Demo'' which featured one original track, backed with a cover of Black Sabbath's 'Hole In The Sky'.

From March to August, Matt and Sebastian wrote material while auditioning bassists and drummers, in September they settled on Oswaldo Andres on bass and in December Paul Caldwell on drums, thus concreting a solid rhythm section. Two like minded musicians who added more dynamics and completed the sound that was intended.

From October-November the newly formed band entered the studio to record their debut E.P, 6 tracks which showcased the band's diversity and musicianship. Gavan Murray (Jaded Sun) lent his skills on drums for the recording and filled in for the band until Paul officially joined. The EP will be released in early 2011.

Utilizing heavy guitar based grooves and quirky acoustic melodies, embellished by bluesy solos, a pounding rhythm section and deeply metaphoric & poetic lyrics, Weeper are a band many have been waiting for.
