Blasting out of Austin, Texas like a bottle of Lonestar beer in a shotgun, Born To Lose’s combination of anthemic punk cuts and staggeringly catchy aggressive guitar chops have made them forefathers of the scene. Having toured with everyone from the Street Dogs, Horrorpops, U.S. Bombs, NOFX, No Use For A Name, Flogging Molly, Bad Religion,The Addicts, Demented Are Go,Far From Finished,The Creepshow, and the Ducky Boys, their albums 'Sweet Misery' (Sailor’s Grave) and 'Blessed Days' have become classics in every sense of the word.
Truly an international act, these Texas punks have made a comfortable home for themselves on the legendary European
punk label "People Like You Records". Releasing three full lengths and a limited edition 7" picture disc on the well
respected premier European underground label. Devout believers in taking the music to the people, they have toured the big cities and small villages of the European continent from east to west and back on numerous occasions. While developing a fanatical and fast growing cult following.
With a new U.S. label (fast-rising imprint Altercation Records), a new album (Saints Gone Wrong) and a never-ending summer road schedule that will see them headlining clubs in Europe, appearing on the 2009 Vans Warped Tour and performing on the Old Skars and Upstarts Tour alongside Duane Peters, Ashers and Anti-Nowhere League, Born To Lose are determined to win the world over, one fan at a time.
“Saints Gone Wrong is a ticking time bomb of an album set to explode with the same fiery intensity that has shot bands like the Street Dogs and Dropkick into the public spotlight.”
- Punknews.org
