The New Dress

About Me

Conceived in 2004 when Laura stopped screening Bill's calls and enlisted in the New Dress after the first honest spin of a song about misplaced love and broken ribs... Across the river she moved, where she and Bill started writing songs inspired by their common interest in woah-oh-oh's, ah-ah-ahs and general concern-for-the-state-of-things. We are just Laura and Bill, nerves and positivity.
