Record Label
'Believe There's Nothing' EP on MIGHTY ATOM - 2005
Formed in 2001 at the age of 14, Along Came Man have had an adventurous ride. Signing their first publishing and record deals with 'TPF Music' and ‘Mighty Atom’ aged of 17, the band by-passed university to hit the road with 3 Colours Red to promote their first EP.
A few years of touring and sleeping in the backs of vans saw Along Came Man play with bands such as Status Quo, Feeder, The Automatic, The Zutons and play every major venue in their home town of Cardiff – including the CIA and Millenium Stadium. The end of 2004 saw Along Came Man pick up the award for Best New Act at The Pop Factory Awards.
Along Came Man are regulars on The Steve Lamacq show on radio 1 and got heavy rotation on Scuzz TV. This led to the songs of Along Came Man being used to soundtrack an entire series of ITV Wales’ music show ‘The Guest List.’
After a break to do some writing and refocus the band, Along Came Man are back once again to spread the love.
