Laika Virgin on ettearvamatu elukas, kes oma üürikese karjääri jooksul jõudnud Eesti muusikamaastikul mitmed tabud laiaks astuda. 2010. aastal avalikkuse ette astunud orkestrit on võrreldud alates Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti'st kuni Coldplay, Bluri ja Red Hot Chili Peppersini, millest kõigist kõlab läbi Beach Boysi.

Laika Virgin segab oma muusikas pea kõike. Ka seda, mida esmapilgul ühte potti ei kõlba panna. Bändi laiapõhjalist muusikalist haaret illustreerib fakt, et Laika Virgini lood on leidnud hulgaliselt mänguaega nii alternatiivse suunitlusega raadiotes, kommertsjaamades kui ka klassikalisele muusikale keskenduvates kanalites.

Kui 2011. aasta alguses anti Laika Virginile au avada Raadio 2 Aastahiti otseülekanne Rahvusringhäälingu eetris, siis aasta hiljem pärjati bändi debüütplaat Eesti Muusikaauhindade galal juba Aasta Alternatiivalbumi tiitliga.

Mitmeid koosseisumuutusi läbi teinud kollektiiv on moondunud projektibändist kindlakoosseisuliseks rühmituseks, kes panustab võrdselt maksimumile nii stuudios kui laval. Laika Virgini teine stuudioalbum ilmub 2014. aasta kevadel.
