The Sound Lemon is a band formed in Palmerston North, New Zealand in June 2018. Originally formed as a solo cringe-comedy project by multi-instrumentalist Oscar Severinsen, The Sound Lemon released a single called "Child Slavery" which consists of Oscar playing random notes on guitar, bass and spoken word about the slavery of children. This track was created for Severinsen's social studies class. Shortly after the release of "Child Slavery" Severinsen's project caught the attention of Cameron Robinson, a drummer from his school. After Robinson joined the band they decided to record an entire album in one take for their next social studies project. This album would later be called "Dolphins". After the release of "Dolphins" Robinson became complacent with this musical project and left. Anthony Massarotto helped create the Dolphins album art with Severinsen. When Robinson had left the group, Severinsen approached Massarotto to join the group. Massarotto stated, "I would like to be the Pat Smear of The Sound Lemon". Severinsen and Massarotto now started a new project called "You are a Pyromaniac" which later turned into the album "Period 2". The album consisted largely of long experimental tracks and cringe-comedy. Period 2 featured "Spaghetti Bolognase" which was later rereleased on the double-single "Bon Appétit" in late 2020. Severinsen and Massarotto played live for the first time after the release of Period 2 playing most of the album live infront of a small group of people
