It was Fall of ’04 while attending DePaul University in Chicago, IL, Remington Pettygrove decided to dust off the guitar he received on his sixteenth birthday and start writing songs. Not knowing much about the songwriting process, he relied heavily on his emotions to give life to his lyrics. He spent his waking hours working and reworking his songwriting process until there was better understanding between him and the messages he was trying to portray. He soon took his craft to the subways of Chicago where he was able to test out his material on the everyday folk; to his surprise many received him warmly. It was also there in the subway he learned a great deal about poise, presence, and projection while performing for hour’s underground.

Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, LAZ is a unique creature. Part drink, part smoke, and part insanity, LAZ is slowly climbing their way inside the head of every man, woman, and child.

97% of humanity has been ignoring the last thirty or so years of the Midwest's contributions to rock 'n roll. The going nowhere Rust Belt jams from cities like Indiana, Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago might as well have never happened. But that leaves the good times to the 3% of us, so why complain? So for us few, Nones is the next band to go out and seek. Their self-released seven inch is dirty, punk damaged psych. Like The Pagans or a Killed by Death band smoking hash with Hawkwind. - Jay Diamond, Impose Magazine
