LPL  were formed in late 2001. Guitarist, Mike Parmele, and Drummer, Rob West, had been in a short lived band together in the late 90's after meeting each other at work. In the Fall of 2001, the two began looking for a bass player and singer to form a new band. Mike, through a friend, was introduced to bass player and singer Rob Wallace. Rob was a seasoned stage performer that was looking to put a band together as well. After only a couple of practice sessions together,  they realized that they were onto something fresh and unique,  and Lead Pipe Lock was born. With Wallace's unique vocals and smooth bass riffs, blended with Mike's fuzzy guitar presence and solid beats from the West, LPL have  put together a formidable collection of Rock N" Roll.

The band's musical influences vary widely, but begin with such classic artists as Buddy Holly, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys. The common ground that was finally met between them, musically,  were with bands such as The Ramones, Green Day, Weezer and Elvis Costello. They have a dynamic mix that is raw, powerful  and combined  with influences from all over the Rock N' Roll spectrum.
