DeRose says she’s influenced by Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos and Linda Perry. There’s a little PJ Harvey there, too—more so on the live CD that came along with this EP (you can frequently catch her at Twiggs). Fuck influences—it’s just nice to hear a strong female musician because God knows we need more of ’em. “Fade Jane Fade” is anthemic. Give this girl a stage. —Kelly Davis CITYBEAT magazine
Lauren DeRose is a New York transplant, currently living in San Diego. Lauren studied at Boston's Berklee College of Music before moving out west in 2003.
