The band launched in feb 2015 with the release of their first video ‘Be Mine’ and a 3 track EP for free download. She wrote a bunch of new songs describing them as 'frustration songs' with a new rawness, expressive energy and honesty. Frustrated by having to wait till he got fixed, Lauren picked up the electric guitar for the first time and started to play.
