Formed in September 2014, The Baby Seals emerged from a pub chat in Cambridge among Amos, Kerry and founding member Jaz, sparked by the idea of creating a band that humorously explores the challenges of everyday female experience. A colleague of Amos's said she was off to Hunstanton to see "the baby seals". On realising she meant seal pups, not a band, Amos suggested "The Baby Seals" as the group’s name. The journey continued in March 2015, when Kerry gained recognition as the "labia girl" at a party, having written their first song, "My Labia's Lopsided, But I Don't Mind".
