Early Man (band)
Early Man is an American heavy metal duo from Brooklyn, New York, now based in Los Angeles. History Guitarist and vocalist Mike Conte began performing under the name "Early Man" in the early 2000s, and when drummer Adam Bennati moved to New York in 2003, the two formed the nucleus for the current lineup.

Matador Records quickly signed them and released their debut album, '' Closing In'', in the fall of the same year. Lead guitarist Pete Macy was added to the band's lineup in 2005. The band has used several bass players over the years and at times will perform without one. The band cut ties with Matador Records and signed with The End Records in 2008.
