About

After being collectively laid off from their jobs, five friends who grew up playing together perused their passion for music. They spent the summer of 2023 on the Isle of Wight at Chale Abbey Studios, recording their first EP, ‘With Immediate Effect’. Bound in body and spirit by Rock ’n’ Roll, the combination of guitars and elements of electronic music has created an explosive sound, free from compromise and conformity. 

Before the release of their first EP, Laid Off headlined and sold out the Camden Assembly, Bush Hall and O2 Academy Islington. Now through to the Grand Final at Bush Hall of the their home town festival competition, they are not to be missed.
