LAKES
About the band
Emerging from Watford’s impressive DIY scene, six-piece ensemble Lakes are a resplendent slice of positivity, charm and twinkling catharsis that has catapulted them a long way in a short space of time. Inspired by 80s pop rock icons Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel, and stimulated by the sonic legacies of their scene peers (The Appleseed Cast, TTNG, Broken Social Scene and Bon Iver), Lakes have seen praise from the likes of Rocksound, Brooklyn Vegan, Alt Press and Punktastic — with Washed Up Emo championing the ensemble as “Your new favourite band”.
