Lakes is a band formed in June 2006 in Atascadero, California, consisting mainly of the former band members of Watashi Wa. They are signed to The Militia Group and on September 5th, 2006 released a 5 song EP named "Photographs EP".

Seth Roberts, the lead vocalist of Watashi Wa, formed a new ensemble called Eager Seas after Watashi Wa's 2004 break-up, but the subsequent album was released under the name Watashi Wa in 2006. [http://wm10.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:f9fwxqudldae~T1 Lakes] at Allmusic.com] Roberts then left Tooth & Nail Records and signed with The Militia Group, with the new ensemble renamed Lakes.

Their first show was played at the Cornerstone festival in 2006, where they also sold a limited number (200 copies) of their EP. This was more than a month before the official release date. The EP, released in September 2006, features guest appearances by Mike Herrera of MxPx and Aaron Marsh of Copeland.

Lakes uploaded a new song on MySpace at 11:30 pm EST on Sunday August 24th, entitled "The Heart Is An Anchor".
