Formed in the summer of 2000, Neo was formed by brothers Greg (vocal/guitarist) and Glenn Ward (drummer) who were fresh from the success of locally acclaimed outfits The Saffs and Alcopop, both of whom had attracted attention in and around the midlands gaining them air time on Radio One and positive reviews from established magazines such as Kerrang! and Melody Maker.

After landing a support slot with American trash idols The Toilet Boys on their UK tour in the summer of 2002, Neo received their first line up change with the arrival of Trevor Fuller (guitarist), who had recently departed from Total Rock favourites Horndog consolidating their burgeoning heavier and more edgy sound. After the departure of their bass player in December 2002, Neo started working on material for their new EP, Free From Reason. With the change in line-up and a huge mix of influences, the result saw a change in style with Neo moving away from the style of their previous City-69 ep towards a darker and heavier sound.

However, the departure of Trev and addition of ex-The Deckchairs Julia Fortuny on Bass has seen Neo return to the lighter and more melodic grunge-tinged punk sound as showcased on their debut City69 ep. The band will soon be gigging as a three-piece again while they update and consolidate their plans for world domination...
