Laura grew up around rock music, as influenced by her dad and grandad.

Fall out boy, my chemical romance, panic at the disco, Avenged sevenfold, elliot minor, bowling for soup, new found glory, madina lake etc.

Growing up on this kind of music, was not really accepted as school as you were known as "goths", "moshers", "emo", names that werent cool at school and were given alot of grief with it, as ESS was known for its bad reputation and still is acording to Laura.

Laura was bullied at school, but kept it to herself through the years, seeking refuge in music. Her 2 favourite songs of all time are Crazy by simple plan, laura quotes "the song shows us what the world has become, and that you don't have to be like them to find your place in the world, and that you should accept yourself for who you are, and love who you are, and if you want to change the world don't stop screaming til your voice is heard". Her 2nd Favourite song is Desending Angel by The Misfits, laura quotes, "I love the feel to this song, the music itself is beautiful and one i'll never get tired of hearing."
