LAW
Lauren Holt's debut EP Hustle casued quite the storm in 2013, with a new album ready to drop and a saturated new live set-up she's set to stun in 2016. As well as her own glories, LAW has written, recorded, toured and performed internationally (with Mercury Prize Winners) Young Fathers. And as the word of Law begins to spread, the world begins to take notice with the Guardian, Clash, The Line of Best Fit, Time Out and The Skinny amongst others singing her praise.
