 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

 * No, the viewpoints were evenly represented

Exercise Week 8 -- LANY Band

Background: LANY was formed in March 2014 when Paul Jason Klein, who had a small solo career, flew to Nashville to meet up with friends Jake Goss and Les Priest. '''Klein was already living in Los Angeles trying to begin his solo singing career, but did not do too well. He knew that Goss and Priest were already making songs on the side so Klein decided to collaborate with them and they ended up having a great time producing music together. Shortly after, Goss and Priest decided to move from Nashville to a small apartment in Los Angeles with Klein to pursue their music career'''. Previously, Goss and Priest had a separate project by the name of WRLDS, but this was discontinued after the formation of LANY. The following month they uploaded two songs, "Hot Lights" and "Walk Away", which were their first songs they have written together and it only took them four days to craft '''. They were afraid of how people would react to their music so they created a SoundCloud account and went incognito in order to differentiate between their old and new projects .' Their debut EP, Acronymns'', followed later that year, with the song "ILYSB" generating significant interest online. Singles "Made in Hollywood" and "Bad, Bad, Bad" soon followed, along with the reveal of their identities. LANY writes and produces their own songs.
