The Regrettes are emerging as a hot tip, earning praise and a devoted underground following for their riotous mix of pure punk energy, rambunctious rock 'n' roll and wide-reaching lyrical positivity.

Comprised of 17-year-old Lydia Night, vocals and guitar, 21-year-old Genessa Gariano, guitar, and 20-year-old Sage Chavis, bass guitar, they made an immediate impression on the Los Angeles music scene, touring extensivley since forming in 2015, including shows with Peaches, The Frights and Cold War Kids.

Having recently played The Great Escape and Dot To Dot festivals, they have now announced two warm-up shows ahead of their sets at Reading & Leeds Festival during the last weekend of August.

'I am not scared of anyone judging me, I don't care. I don't care if someone doesn't like what I have to say. For every person that likes you, there's a person that doesn't like you. No matter what, if people can relate to the music then it's worth it. That's what is cool for me,' says lead singer Lydia.

Tickets for their show in Norwich are available from OPEN's website for £8 advance.
