Biography

The Sirens line-up originally consisted of Karina Brians, Kat Haslam, Lynsey Schofield and Michelle Heaton [ [http://icteesside.icnetwork.co.uk/0300entertainment/0500music/tm_objectid=14486937&method=full&siteid=50081&headline=song-of-the-sirens-name_page.html icTeeside interview - "Song of the Sirens"] ] . Heaton left the band before their debut single was released and was replaced by Lea Cummings [ [http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/sirens_5_/artist.jhtml#bio MTV Sirens artist biography] ] . They dubbed themselves Sirens in honour of the infamous Greek myth of three beautiful women luring sailors to their deaths by singing to them.

Karina left school at 14 to try and make money by doing a variety of jobs before running her own stable yard. Katherine set up her own business as soon as she was old enough. However, when they met aged 17, both knew that their future was in writing and making music together.

Control Freaks

To get their big break, Karina and Katherine not only sold their cars to finance their studio demos in London, but they also slept rough. After a variety of early trial and error line-up's Sirens were formed when Lynsey and friend-of-a-friend Lea joined. Soon after, the girls inked a deal with indie label Kitchenware Records, also home to the Editors.

Their debut single was a cover of N*E*R*D's "Things Are Gettin' Better". Their second single "Baby (Off the Wall)" became their highest charting single, peaking at number forty-nine on the UK singles chart. Their debut album "Control Freaks", released two weeks after "Baby (Off the Wall)", became a club hit in the UK and achieved commercial success in the Far East, which allowed the band to create their second album.

Lynsey's Departure

Between albums Sirens released a non-album single "Love Hurts" featuring a sample from the late rapper ODB. This was the final single with group member Lynsey, who left the after the release of the single.
