Hailing from Scotland, England, Wales, Nigeria and Italy, The Laurel Collective are 6 nice, affable young bachelors and two sick,ultraviolent delinquents. They play a simmering stew of musical influences and like so many good things in life they were once bedroom-based. Franz Ferdinand make music for girls to dance to- The Laurel Collective make music for girls to eat cake to. So come to a show. And let them eat cake.

"What's The Laurel Collective up to?!" I hear you cry....

We're very near completing new song "Luger," a danceable tale of er, paranoid delusion, tested love and a Nazi outfit fetish. Obviously... Also with songs such as 'Cruel Thing', the afro-beat indie rock sound of 'Gunmouth', all incased in an enhanced CD with the video of Chemical Changes - the Chemical Changes EP is something we are truely proud of. It has taken so long because we are perfectionists but I think you'll all agree it's worth it. You can hear the songs at www.myspace.com/thelaurelcollective or www.thelaurelcollective.net and very soon you'll be able to buy the EP (very reasonable rate) by PayPal as well. All good!!
