After getting fired from their jobs, five friends pursued their passion for music. They spent the summer of 2023 on the Isle of Wight at Chale Abbey Studio, Michael Kiwanuka and Flyte, producing a body of work set for release with producer Sam Grade. Inspired by Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, and Sticky Fingers, they’ve created a unique sound that explores themes of youth, connection, and growth.
Before the release of their first single ‘Not On, Kick On, Get On’, the first of a five track EP, Laid Off headlined the Camden Assembly, graced the stage of Bush Hall and O2 Academy Islington. Set to take the stage of The Old Blue Last in March, they really are ones to watch.
