Laura Wilde, the 22 year old fast-rising rock talent is armed with killer guitar riffs and a kick a** attitude to match. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Laura is determined to create a fresh interpretation of traditional rock and roll for a new, younger generation of fans. There has never been any doubt in Laura’s mind that music was her calling and passion. At 18 months old, when her big brother was given one of those toy push-button electric guitars that drove everyone crazy, Laura grabbed it the moment he took it out of the box, hugged it and if anyone tried to take it from her she would let out an unbearable scream. “I carried that thing around like a teddy for years,” she recalls. By the time she was a teenager, Laura had become skilled not only on guitar, but on bass and drums as well. While other girls her age were concerned about shopping for clothes and meeting boys, Laura was putting bands together, but she had trouble finding anyone with the same level of enthusiasm. “No one was interested in learning to play properly. If we didn’t sound amazing straight away they would give up.” Finally, out of desperation, she joined a cover band with her teachers where she was the bass player.
