Lauren Ann is a young and rising, Belfast-based indie rock singer/songwriter and musician, whose sound and approach pairs garage rock exuberance, grunge dynamics and a dreamy pop edge, inspired by listening to Nirvana, Pixies, The Cure and others. The Northern Irish singer/songwriter and musician signed to Faction Music the same day she completed high school, a massive achievement for the young artist, who only started writing songs a year prior. And with a handful of singles, the Belfast-based artist has landed opening slots with acts like Tom Grennan, NewDad, Twin Atlantic and the rapidly rising SPRINTS. She has also made the rounds of the global festival circuit, playing sets at SXSW, Ireland Music Week, Output Festival, and Stendhal Festival. This year will be a big year for the Northern Irish artist: Her forthcoming EP is a concept effort with each song inspired by each of the seven deadly sins. “In a way I’ve created a character or alter ego who experiences all of the sins in some way,” Lauren Ann explains. “Some of the songs are also about the different types of people I have met in my own life. I feel like everyone has encountered negative feelings of greed, wrath, pride etc. at some point in their life.” The EP’s latest single “Bite” slickly produced guitar rock anthem featuring glistening and atmospheric synths, thunderous drumming, fuzzy power chords and a throbbing bass line with Lauren Ann’s self assured, in-your-face delivery and enormous shout-along-worthy hooks and choruses. While seemingly channeling Siamese Dream-era Smashing Pumpkins, Celebrity Skin-era Hole and others, the song thematically focuses on the deadly sin of wrath. And throughout the song, its narrator openly speaks on the feeling of being wronged and the desire to seek revenge — at a risk of destroying one’s self.

Not an exhaustive list, but for any Brits who see this, there's expected rioting tonight in:

Cleveland, Thornaby. Likely to be at the mosque in Westbury Street at ~5pm

Durham. Both in the city centre and apparently at the Bishop Auckland Town Hall.

Leicestershire, Coalville. Potentially starting at the clock tower.

Manchester. Potentially the police station in Salford.

Peterborough. Some talk about gathering outside the prison.

Rochdale. Outside the Broadfield Hotel on Sparrow Hill.

Scunthorpe. Reports of it starting at Scunthorpe Museum on Oswald Street moving off to Frodingham Road. Late to posting this as reports said it would start at 12.

Sheffield. The Holiday Inn is a suspected target. I believe it's off of Victoria Station Road.

Stoke-on-Trent. Potentially at the Best Western Hotel on Audley Road.

Also in Northern Ireland, there's expected to be one at Chimney Corner in Belfast, and in Newton Abbey.
