Laughing Cats’ new single 'Jerk' blends nostalgia and innovation, exploring love’s complexities with infectious energy.
Meet Laughing Cats, a vibrant new music duo set to disrupt the landscape of music with their electrifying new single, ‘Jerk’. Formed by the eclectic Lauren Schiff and Tony Fredianelli, they combine rich musical backgrounds to craft a fresh perspective that’s both innovative and exhilarating. With their debut album, Funny Money, on the horizon, Laughing Cats promise a genre-defying journey through music’s various eras.
Tony Fredianelli, a California native and former member of the multi-platinum band Third Eye Blind, brings a wealth of experience to the table. Known for his contributions to iconic tracks like ‘Semi-Charmed Life’, Tony’s storied journey through the music industry, including his recent reunion with former bandmates in XEB, solidifies his status as a rock music legend.
On the other hand, Lauren Schiff—also known as Lauren McCord— brings a theatrical flair. Hailing from Lakenheath, England, and raised in the vibrant atmosphere of Las Vegas, Lauren’s off-Broadway experience adds a compelling storytelling dimension to their music, making each song a relatable narrative filled with emotion.
Inspired by the sonic renaissance of the 1960s and the energetic pulse of the 1980s, Laughing Cats evoke a nostalgia for pre-Y2K pop and rock, drawing influence from legends like The Beatles and New Order. Their single ‘Jerk’ epitomises this genre-blending style, marrying elements of pop, rock, and alternative music with a refreshing nod to the ’90s.
With their undeniable passion and engaging sound, Laughing Cats invite listeners to dive into ‘Jerk’, a tantalising taste of their highly anticipated debut album, Funny Money. This duo is fresh, innovative, and impossible to ignore—get ready to hit repeat!
