"Just this week I saw Lara Smiles on her knees on stage pulling squalls of ferocious sound out of her guitar like some industro-pop alchemist" NME

And It Hurts

'Her spikiest confection to date.. with hints of electro and industrial, that doesn’t forget to pack a punchy chorus.

‘Pretty spot on if you ask me’ – BBC INTRODUCING

Fusing an avant-garde mix of indie and electro, Lara’s music is guitar-driven, synth-inspired and brimming with colourful layers of alt-pop.
Influenced by many genres of music, Lara started out writing punk and soul tunes on her guitar – but all-night raves in her teens led to a love of dance music and experimenting with samples.

In recent years, having caught the eye of BBC and international DJs, Lara’s music has so far received extensive airplay on radio stations in the UK and across the world.

Lara has recently collaborated with and featured on the latest albums of The Orb and Jah Wobble - both set to be released in Autumn 2017.

She’s performed at some of Europe and America’s largest live venues and music festivals - and with three Glastonbury performances already under her belt, she’s getting excited to play Glasto 2017.

Her latest single, LIES, will be available to buy on itunes and Amazon on the 19th May 2017. Lies is co-produced by Lara and legendary producer Youth (Primal Scream, The Verve, The Orb). Lies will be released on WonkyPop Records.
