Fresh was started in London in 2015 by songwriter Kathryn Woods (vocals/guitar). George Phillips (bass) and Daniel Goldberg (drums) joined the live band in 2016, and would go on to play on its debut album.[5][2][4][6] Myles McCabe was the band's guitarist between 2017 and 2023. The current lineup is completed by Joely Smith (guitar) who officially joined in November 2023.[3]
After self-releasing two EPs in 2015, the band signed to Specialist Subject Records and released their self-titled debut album on 18 August 2017.[1][4][5] The album was recorded at The Ranch in Southampton.[6]
In July 2017, they were featured in Kerrang! who compared them to Modern Baseball, Joyce Manor, and Diet Cig. The article quotes Kathryn as saying, "Fresh started because I was a teenage girl who was bored of only seeing men playing in bands".[1]
In December 2017, ABC News listed their debut album as one of their 50 best albums of that year.[7]
In February 2019, Fresh announced their second album Withdraw would be released on 7 June, unveiling lead single "Willa" (named after Willa Cather).[8]
