Guitar-pop four-piece Lawson have announced they will release their debut single 'When She Was Mine’ on 27th May. Produced by John Shanks, the Grammy Award winning producer of Take That’s albums ‘Beautiful World’ and ‘The Circus,’ ‘When She Was Mine’ sees Lawson combine guitars with soulful vocals and razor-sharp harmonies, underpinned by a taut, powerful rhythm section. Despite it’s uplifting vibe, ‘When She Was Mine’ is about a broken heart - Andy Brown, Lawson frontman, wrote the song after finding out that his ex-girlfriend had a new boyfriend.
Joining Andy in Lawson are Joel Peat, Adam Pitts and Ryan Fletcher. Respectively from Liverpool, Mansfield, Brighton and Chesterfield, Lawson began life in 2009 when Adam contacted Andy, who had been posting acoustic covers on Youtube to ever increasing views, to say ‘I love what you’re doing, if you ever form a band can I be in it?’ And so they formed a band…. Adam contacted his friend Ryan who in turn recruited his music college buddy Joel, and the foursome soon got stuck into rehearsing and gigging.
Fast forward 3 years and Lawson, who signed to Polydor in Autumn last year, have built a passionate fanbase – they sold out their debut headline tour in January, incredible for a band who have yet to release a single, and last week their upcoming Monto Water Rats show sold out in under 10 minutes.
Lawson’s live prowess has been honed in front of some huge audiences; they have twice been on support tours with The Wanted, most recently last month’s arena tour, and also have supported Avril Lavigne and Will Young.
Lawson are currently in Los Angeles recording the video for ‘When She Was Mine.’
