Hailing from Phoenix, but produced in Detroit by Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Electric Six, Dirtbombs), The Love Me Nots' fuzz-and-farfisa sound comes from the purrs and howls of singer-organist Nicole Laurenne, the raunchy guitar work of Michael Johnny Walker, rock-solid bass lines and harmonies by Sophie O, and the furious pounding of Jay Lien.

Formed in 2006, the DIY band has released four full-length albums and one album of remixes, gone into heavy rotation on Sirius/XM Radio, charted in the CMJ Top 100, had placements on television shows and well-known comps, saw the European re-release of its entire discography, toured Europe five times, and maintained a consistent touring schedule throughout major cities all over the United States.
