Her's were an indie rock band from Liverpool, England composed of English guitarist and singer Stephen Fitzpatrick and Norwegian bassist and backing vocalist Audun Laading. They released a compilation album, Songs of Her's (2017), followed by a full-length studio album, Invitation to Her's (2018).

The duo and their tour manager were killed in a road traffic collision in Arizona while touring the United States in 2019.^[1] Heist or Hit Records said of the band's legacy, "their energy, vibrancy, and talent came to define our label".^[2]

The band's line-up consisted of Stephen Fitzpatrick, from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England, who sang lead vocals and played guitar, and Audun Laading, from Flekkerøy, Kristiansand, Norway, who played bass guitar and sang backing vocals.^[3] Fitzpatrick was also a drummer,^[4] but the band used a drum machine with both members contributing to its programming.^[5][6][7]

Fitzpatrick and Laading met at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts,^[3] (from which they both graduated in 2016 after three-year music degrees, being presented with their certificates by Paul McCartney at a graduation ceremony).^[8][9] Whilst still students they formed Her's in 2015, after having previously played together in the rhythm section of another Liverpool band named 'The Sundogs'.^[10][11] The duo initially formed Her's in jest, travelling around Liverpool filming comedic music videos and posting them on YouTube.^[12]

They released their debut single, "Dorothy", on 7 April 2016.^[13] They performed on the 2016 Green Man Festival Rising Stage.^[4] A nine-track compilation titled Songs of Her's was released on 12 May 2017.^[14] The compilation received four stars from The Skinny.^[5] Writing for NME in April 2017, Thomas Smith said:^[15]

Her's are not a group to stand still. Each song they produce, from the lo-fi bedroom pop power of debut track to 'Dorothy' to the duo's equally melodic take on slacker-rock on 'Marcel', sees the Liverpool-based duo shift and float between sounds. Never really fitting into one genre, but somehow nailing whatever they end up doing.

The band later released their debut full-length album, Invitation to Her's, on Heist or Hit Records^[15] on 24 August 2018.^[16][17][18] Her's were featured on Paste's list titled "The 15 New Liverpool Bands You Need to Know in 2018".^[19] An acoustic performance by the band at the 2019 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, US was also featured on BBC Music Introducing.^[8] The album includes the single "Harvey" which according to Genius, is a reference to the 1950 film Harvey.^[20]

On 27 March 2019, around 1 a.m., Fitzpatrick, aged 24, and Laading, aged 25, along with their tour manager, Trevor Engelbrektson (aged 37) from Minneapolis, were killed in a head-on traffic collision and subsequent vehicle fire near Milepost 68 on Interstate 10, west of Tonopah, Arizona.^{[21][22][23][24]} They were travelling from Phoenix, Arizona, where they had played at the Rebel Lounge^[25] on 26 March, to perform a show on the following evening in Santa Ana, California, some 350 miles (560 km) away, as part of a 19-date second tour of North America.^[8][23] The Arizona Department of Public Safety confirmed that Engelbrektson had been driving the band's Ford tour van at the time of the crash.^[23][26] The driver of a Nissan pick-up truck, Francisco Rebollar, aged 64, from Murrieta, California, was also killed in the collision; a subsequent police investigation of the scene located a bottle of alcohol in the wreckage.^[27][23] At the time of the crash, the Arizona Department of Public Safety was already responding to reports of the Nissan pick-up truck travelling at speed in the wrong direction going eastbound on the westbound carriageway.^[24][28]

A requiem mass for Fitzpatrick was held at St. Mary's (Roman Catholic) Church, Barrow-in-Furness, on 23 April 2019.^[29]
