**Sorry** (previously named **Fish**) are an English [indie rock](/source/Indie_rock) band from [North London](/source/North_London).[1] The band members are Asha Lorenz, Louis O'Bryen, Lincoln Barrett, Campbell Baum and Marco Pini.[2] The band's debut studio album, *[925](/source/925_(album)),* was released in 2020, following the release of several mixtapes and singles.[3]

Sorry is signed to the London-based independent record label [Domino](/source/Domino_Recording_Company).[4][5]

## History

### Formation and early releases

Lorenz and O'Bryen published several covers of [Jimi Hendrix](/source/Jimi_Hendrix) songs before embarking on original projects.[6] Between 2017 and 2020, Sorry released various singles and mixtapes containing original material,[7] much of which would later appear on the band's debut studio album. [8] To this day, Lorenz and O'Bryen write the majority of their songs as a duo while Barrett, Baum and Pini complete the band for live sets.[5]

### Debut studio album and tour

On 27 March 2020, Sorry released its debut studio album, *925*. It contains four previously released singles: "More", "Right Round the Clock", "Snakes" and "Starstruck".[4] On Metacritic, it has a score of 79, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[9] Many critics praised the album's cohesiveness and innovative sound.[6][10][5][11][12] [Stereogum](/source/Stereogum) named *925* "album of the week" on 24 March 2020.[13] A less favorable [Guardian](/source/The_Guardian) review stated that "*925* packs in more than a few disruptive ideas. But Sorry haven't yet acquired the musical vocabulary to pull them off."[14]

The album charted on the [UK Independent Albums Chart](/source/UK_Independent_Albums_Chart), where it peaked at number 13, and on the [Scottish Albums Chart](/source/Scottish_Albums_Chart), where it peaked at number 49. The band planned to embark on a UK headlining tour to promote the album's release but had to postpone the tour dates due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic).[15]

In February 2021, Sorry announced a live album recorded at the South London venue [Windmill, Brixton](/source/The_Windmill%2C_Brixton), with proceeds going toward the venue, which faced financial difficulties in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]

### *Anywhere But Here*

On 12 July 2022, Sorry announced their second album, *[Anywhere but Here](/source/Anywhere_but_Here_(Sorry_album))*. It was released on 7 October through Domino Records, along with its first single, "Let the Lights On". The album was recorded with [Portishead's](/source/Portishead_(band)) [Adrian Utley](/source/Adrian_Utley).[17]

## Genres

Sorry's musical influences have caused debate amongst music critics and reviewers, many of whom refrain from sorting the band into a single genre. *[The Guardian](/source/The_Guardian)* has stated that "A typical Sorry track is just as likely to be inflected with 90s [grunge](/source/Grunge) as with [jazz](/source/Jazz) or [trip-hop](/source/Trip_hop)", thus defying traditional genre labels and categories. [5] Lorenz and O'Bryen themselves have described their musical output as pop with O'Bryen commenting that "It's just a bit annoying to be called post-punk or grunge because I don't think we are that."[18]
