What they're saying about Lost In A Name...



“…They stayed consistent through their album. Not many bands can avoid missing a beat like that on their first time around.” – Nate from allages.org

“…With style that both reminds you of what’s good about our scene, while still having a unique style of their own.” – Nate from allages.org

“…an exceptionally talented band, to say the least. Their debut album, Remember Where We Started is a showcase of the band's knack for writing interesting and catchy pop songs." – absolutepunk.net

“Lost In a Name truly have a gift for songwriting and playing music in general, and they definitely deserve a listen.” –absolutepunk.net

LOST IN A NAME

These days it is near impossible for a young band to stand out in the over-crowded sea of homogenized rock n' roll cliches by simply making good rock music. It gets lost in the shuffle where almost every other new act is a parody of themselves, unabashedly aping their near immediate predecessors without even the slightest hint at an understanding of their current place in rock n' roll's great history. Some bands try and overcompensate for their glaring unoriginality and lack of musical personality by attempting to stick out with flashy musicianship, the right look, the right producer, or the current "it" sound... ...Lost In A Name believe that although there are some universally fundamental ideals that are essential to a good rock band's formula, those aren't what make a band. Mostly, it's the right four guys finding each other and coming together to make the music that they love in the most genuine way they can, despite the looming masses of soulless, sound-alike bands attempting a similar feat, minus the heart. And, as anyone who's attempted starting a band knows, finding those four people who have that heart and passion for music and are equally motivated to make it their full time life is a truly daunting task, even in a fairly large city such as Milwaukee, WI. Throw in the fact that Danny Schmitz, Bryce Schmidtke, Steve Lee and Jeffro Lackscheide, four guys who share the same off-the-wall, smirking sense of humor also have a propensity for writing some of the most intensely catchy rock songs since Van Halen was cool, and you have something worth noticing. And yet, it's just four musicians who love their craft, love their songs, and love entertaining a crowd... as evident to anyone who's seen the slightly over the top way they interact onstage.

REMEMBER WHERE WE STARTED

Boasting heavy, guitar driven power-pop that deftly straddles the line between taking itself too seriously and trying to get you to smile, Lost In A Name's debut full length Remember Where We Started carefully weaves catchy, memorable vocals and big melodies with technical and innovative guitar riffs offering up that rare blend of musicianship and radio worthy hooks that you'll find yourself singing along to, even after just a listen or two. Fans of everything from Coheed and Cambria and Thrice, to The All American Rejects and Foo Fighters find themselves showing up and belting out lyrics as if they were words pulled from their own diaries. Guitarist/frontman Danny Schmitz has been writing music and perfecting his guitar acrobatics since childhood and it shows in his ability to bend his instrument to his will. His songwriting chops have also evidently come into their own as exemplified on Remember Where We Started. Bassist Bryce Schmidtke and award winning drummer Steve Lee, two experienced veterans of the Milwaukee music scene round out the band's tough as nails rhythm section while seasoned record producer (and band newcomer) Jeffro Lacksheide provides the harmony to Danny's intricate guitar melodies. From the riff-heavy intensity of the disc's opener "Crutch" to the oh so sweet, tongue in cheek honesty of the destined-for-radio track "Valentine", these guys have shown that they can bring it with both musicality, humor and genuine honesty. Lost In A Name is a name that you won't soon lose track of (pun!) and you can bank on hearing it again in the near future as this band will absolutely emerge from that over-crowded sea, guitars in hand, grinning ear to ear, making metal fingers... and probably getting you to do it right along with them.

Dear Lost in a Name,

Thank you so much for being our Myspace friend. Myspace friends are like beer; you can never have too many. Myspace friends are better than actual friends because they never call you to complain about their jobs or ask you to help them move (or move bodies).

No, you didn't blow my speakers, but you know why you guys are a great rock band? Because you sound great with the speakers turned down, too. Clean, tight, melodic, chops out the arse - my favorite kind of rock. Well done, lads!

Kind regards,
O'Kane Mutiny

P.S. Do you know who stole my quart of frozen strawberries? (click, click)

hey, im going to be brutally honest. I didnt like your cover of anberlin, but dont be discouraged by this because Anberlin is hard to caver and make sound good i've known other ppl that tried and it just wasnt happening. the good news is your own music sounds descent at least from what i've listened to for a first cd its good, given that its your first cd, and it gets better the more you put out the production as far as mixing gets more professional or they just get a feel for what you sound best like. and i apologize if my thoughts are hard to follow it's kinda late, but good luck to you guys. I'm not sure if your actually lost in a name or if that is your name lol but if your still looking for a name then I hope you find some really awesome title that you love. Um yeah so thats about all I have to say. God bless and sorry if I come off as rude I really don't mean to be.
