Lina had been dreaming of starting a band long before high school. In 2005, she transferred high schools, where she met, Emily, Tae, and Patti. Ben became friends with all of them in May of 2006. In August of 2007, Patty and Lina began to date.

Fangs of Pearl as a band formed in the summer of 2006, and spent most of their early years playing in Emily's newly renovated garage. In the beginning, they didn't exactly record a whole lot of music, as it was too expensive. They mainly played covers of their favourite songs. During senior year, they didn't play together as much due to the stress of exams, and (unbeknownst to the Fangs) Ben's involvement in the Kira investigation. Fast forward to June of 2016, Fangs of Pearl releases their first album, the cover of which was photographed by Emily, and edited/stylized by Ben and Tae. They are now quite popular in Chicago's punk scene.

Their sound is reminiscent of bands like Hole, Meet Me @ The Altar, Paramore, Bikini Kill, and Lunachicks, with elements of gothic rock.

(I'm definitely going to draw them all soon, just wait)
