Lawson
is a four-piece British band which consists of truly talented and
gifted musicians: Andy Brown (acoustic guitar and lead vocals), Ryan
Fletcher (bass guitar and backing vocals),
Joel Peat (lead guitar and backing vocals) and Adam Pitts (drums). The
band members who are originally Liverpool, Chesterfield, Mansfield and
Brighton respectively are now currently based in London.
In
2011, the band made their mainstream breakthrough after becoming the
support act for one of Britain’s biggest pop bands, The Wanted, on their
first ever theatre tour, The Behind
Bars Tour. The band made a great impression on the audience, and
received good reviews from fans and critics alike. Having developed a
friendship with The Wanted, they returned as the support act for The
Wanted's second tour, #TheCode Tour also known as TWAT
(The Wanted Arena Tour). And the rest is history…
This
is coupled with the huge impact of the VEVO Lift campaign for the
Standing In The Dark video which has now hit 3 million views worldwide,
vaulting over
the play counts of ‘Taking Over Me’ and ‘When She Was Mine’. Their weekly ‘what’s hot’ e-mail blast alongside new
Christina Aguilera, David Guetta and No Doubt videos
On
September 8, 2011, it was announced that the band had been signed to
Polydor Records, with a lucrative two-album deal on the cards. After
signing to a major label, Lawson was tasked
with opening for other acts such as Will Young, Avril Lavigne, and
again for The Wanted.
Their
debut album, Chapman Square which is sitting comfortably at No. 3 on
the UK album midweek charts and steadily climbing the charts of iTunes
UK and Asia, boasts of potential
hit singles like “When She Was Mine", “Standing In The Dark” and the
carrier track "Taking Over Me'’. “Taking Over Me” is now positioned at
Number 1 on Magic 89.9 and # 12 on Monster Radio RX 93.1.
