Kawada are a four piece soft-rock/indie band based in Liverpool. Laura Macdonald is on lead vocal, Michael Drummond on guitar, Jeff Beynon on bass guitar and Lee Drummond on drums. The band aims for a soft pop-rock/indie sound in its songs in an attempt to create melodic live music that an audience can relate to and enjoy. The addition of a female vocalist to the band has given them an original sound which is highlighted by the catchy, tuneful nature of their music.

In summer 2005 Kawada finished recording their first EP, 'Between the Waking and the Shade'. In January 2006 Kawada Headlined at Liverpool's Cavern Club. They attracted a large following and went on to headline twice more at The Cavern and once at Liverpool's Zanzibar Club. In July 2006, Kawada played to over 200 fans at an open-air concert in Liverpool's Croxteth Park. They now have a range of merchandise including 14-track CDs and badges for sale at their gigs.
