Life as the lead singer of a band was a lot different than I expected. My name's Lauren and I'm the singer for the band Almost Easy. Yeah, we're named after an A7X song. We're a small time band from Scotland. We play a mix of different sounds, pop-punk, metal, some screamo (thanks to our new screamer, Adam) and have even been known to cover some pop. 

Our band is made up of 5 members; 4 boys and myself. Adam, as I mentioned before, is our screamer and the latest member of our band, he also plays rhythmic guitar. Lee, our lead guitarist, Neil, our bassist and David our drummer.

This summer we've been asked to play as a last minute addition to the Asking Alexandria US tour. They needed a support act and my older brother Ross has been doing sound for them for years, so he suggested us to them, they listened to a demo and now here we are, or well, here I am on a last minute flight to meet my brother at an Arizona airport to take me to meet the band because I had to finish up my last year of college, yeah I know, rock n roll.

Anyway, unlike some members of my band coughLEEcough I’m not a huge fan of AA, I’ve heard a few songs and I was impressed and respect them as musicians, but it’s just not my personal taste. 

So here I am, a few hours away from finally seeing my brother after 7 months and going on the biggest tour of our careers.
