'''The La's''' (Scouse slang term for "lads") were a short-lived but very influential JanglePop/PowerPop group from Liverpool, England. They are known for their {{Retraux}} sound that was inspired by groups like Music/TheHollies and Music/TheKinks, and their hit single "There She Goes." They released a critically-acclaimed SelfTitledAlbum in 1990, but because of conflicts between the band and lead singer Music/LeeMavers' [[ThePerfectionist extreme perfectionism]], they disowned the final result and broke up shortly after the album's release. Every other release they've done since has been compilation albums and live material. They are notable for being a major influence in {{Britpop}}, and many bands such as Music/{{Oasis}} and Music/{{Travis}} have labeled them as an influence.

The bassist and backing vocalist of the group, Music/JohnPower, later went on to form fellow Britpop band Music/{{Cast}}.
