context_page_description: The Regrettes is an American punk rock band from Los Angeles. The band is led by frontwoman Lydia Night. They released their debut studio album, Feel Your Feelings Fool!, on Warner Bros. Records in January 2017.
context_section_description: Prior to the formation of the band, lead vocalist Lydia Night met guitarist Genessa Gariano, bassist Sage Chavis, and drummer Maxx Morando in music school. At the time, Gariano, Chavis and Morando were in a band together, called "Genessa" and Night was in the two-piece band Pretty Little Demons (who changed their name to The Regrettes in the last few months of life) with drummer Marlhy Murphy. Both of the bands played a concert together, but not soon after Murphy departed from the band after the release of their EP "Hey!" on October 16, 2015, leading to Night asking Gariano, Chavis, and Morando to join. The "Hey!" EP was eventually discovered by a representative at Warner Brothers, which would eventually lead to them signing the band. In 2016, the band toured with both Tacocat and Sleigh Bells, opened for Kate Nash, and performed at South by Southwest.
  In 2015, the band's independent release led to a record deal with Warner Bros. Records. Their first album was produced by Mike Elizondo and their first single, "A Living Human Girl", was released in June 2016.
  Other singles followed including "Hey Now", "Hot", and "Seashore." On January 13, 2017, the band released its debut studio album, Feel Your Feelings Fool!. In May 2017, the band announced a summer headlining tour which includes stops at Summerfest and Riot Fest.
  On February 9, 2018, the band released the single "Come Through," from their EP Attention Seeker, released on February 23, 2018. It was accompanied by a music video.
  On May 9, 2018, the band announced Morando's departure.
  On May 22, 2018, the tour bus containing all their belongings was stolen from outside the Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham, UK where they later played a sold-out gig.
  On May 31, 2018, the band contributed the sixth Hamildrop, a cover of the song "Helpless". Lin-Manuel Miranda credited producer Mike Elizondo as having suggested the idea.
  On September 3, 2018, the band announced Sage Chavis' departure, being replaced by Violet Mayugba.
  On November 28, 2018, the band announced the departure of Mayugba and recruitment of Brooke Dickson as their new bass player.
  From February 6 to March 17, 2019, The Regrettes were the opening act of Twenty One Pilots' European leg of The Bandito Tour.
  On June 18, 2019, The Regrettes announced their second studio album, How Do You Love?. The album was released on August 9, 2019.
