Laissez Faire is a Greek alternative rock band from Thessaloniki formed in 2003. The initial members were Nikos Ch. (guitar), Panos L. (drums) and Giannis S. (guitar). During that year the band worked with several musicians. By 2005 Kostas L. (bass), Eleni K. (vocals) and Alex M. (vocals) had joined the band. Since then they have been performing live in festivals throughout Greece as well as in music stages, especially in Thessaloniki.
During 2008-2009, Laissez Faire recorded their debut album entitled “No Land for Escape” in cooperation with Dark Souls Day productions. That’s when some of the band members had to service the Greek army (Greece has mandatory military service) and the official album release had to be delayed until 2011.
The band is currently working on their new album. They have been experimenting with some new sounds and their second album is expected to have a deep mystical style.

No Land For Escape - Reviews:
"Der altertümliche Mix aus Alternative-, Indie-, Goth-Rock, Post Punk und Wave tut seiner Funkion als Herzerwärmer verdammt gut" (Zillo)
"Bleibt letztlich nur zu sagen, dass diese Band mit ihrem Debüt einen wunderschönen ersten Eindruck hinterlässt. Freie Rockmusik mit klar erkennbaren Wurzeln prägt das Bild aufNo Land For Escape, einem Album, das sicher vielen Musikgenießern noch eine Fülle an Freude bereiten wird." (Nightshade)
"Abwechslung bewirkt dabei unter anderem der wechselnde Gesang, sind hier doch sowohl männlicher als auch weiblicher Gesang zu hören. Beide Stimmen können gut das den Songs immanente Sehnen zur Geltung bringen." (Alternativmusik)
