Future Leaders of the World came out of Buffalo, New York, a band built by a singer and guitarist together with drummer Carl Messina and bassist Toby Cole, and their debut album, LVL IV, landed in 2004. It's alternative rock of the brooding, heavy-hearted kind, and "Let Me Out" was the song that cut through, a tense, pressure-cooker track that gets its release in a big, bruised chorus. "Everyday" followed it onto the countdowns.
The first chapter didn't last long. With a new lineup the band changed its name to Machina in 2005. But the old name didn't stay buried: a second Future Leaders of the World album, Reveal, turned up in 2015.
