At The Lake
These Days

unsigned/Popfiction

WE SAY

At The Lake, a London based five- piece, have wasted no time getting to this point. Just over one year into their lifespan they've supported Babyshambles and The Apartment, as well as getting their first airplay in the Xfm Unsigned slot. Positive audience responses on 6Music and Zane Lowe's show brought them to the Popfiction label. We think this is a refreshing indie rock sound and it looks like the radio audiences agree. They are unsigned for records and publishing and actively seeeking a booking agent. Tipped by Baby Blue on our messageboard.
