"Real punk rock still exists and here’s the proof. Majority Lost is the band that may just save punk rock yet, they seamlessly incorporate rock & roll with punk without resorting to corny pop conventions. Seldom have I seen a band that shreds this hard without losing their groove or that has such thoughtful lyrics expressed this passionately.
In essense, Majority Lost is five fun loving friends who respect their punk rock roots while always looking to the future of the genre. Check out their first full length studio album "GODS, KINGS AND PERSONAL DEMONS" out now on ITUNES and Interpunk.
Four Aging punks...picked to live in a house....
Ok, no not really.
But you can hear a couple Majority Lost tunes in the new Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins. A snippet of "Greatest Lie" is in episode two and a huge chunk of "Fight On" was in last nights episode, 5 "Reversal of Fortune" and should be replaying about 90 times this week.
Thank you so much to Jennifer Martinez for hooking us up with Jonathan Weiss over at MTV. Good people, send them candy.
We are up and running again after our "Drummer got Married" hiatus. New Shows to be posted soon. We will some important news and announcements for you shortly.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS PUNK ROCKERS!!! So much to say….where do we begin??
First off, we posted some new pictures from our recent trip to Oregon, as well as some pictures from our show at the Knitting Factory w/ Get Dead, Unfallen Heroes, By All Means, and Sixes and Sevens, courtesy of our friend/photographer Steven Baird.
We just got back from playing up in Oregon with some great bands, and saw a lot of old friends and met plenty of new ones. We played two showcase shows for Horn-Up Records, and every band on the label is AMAZING!! We had the pleasure to play with My New Vice, Unfallen Heroes, MDC, The Altarboys, Bitchin’ Summer, and All Bets On Death. We missed playing with Kill the Kids who had a big show of their own with the Smooch Girls, but got to hang out with the guys the whole trip. Thanks to all of the bands, friends, and fans that made this trip one we will never forget…..as usual every time we got to Oregon. Cheers to everyone! HEEEEYYYOOOOOOO……….subs!
We are finishing up recording for our split with Unfallen Heroes (Portland, OR) and Get Dead (San Francisco, CA) which will be coming out on Horns-Up Records early next year, so keep an eye out. And while you’re at it, be sure to go the Horns-Up Records page and check out ALL of the bands. There are some amazing bands on the label all up and down the coast. Thanks to Guil and Smiley for making it all possible! We got to hang out before/at/after the show, and they are great guys, with a great label that we are happy to be a part of.
We have some upcoming shows, including this weekend in Pomona celebrating the release of Punk Rock Concoction Volume 3 at Friar Tucks in Pomona w/ Skyline Collapse, By All Means, and Sixes and Sevens. We also have an acoustic show with Time Again coming up at the Knitting Factory on December 16th. We will be booking dates for a March/April tour, so keep an eye out.
Thank you for your continued support,
Majority Lost

HAPPY FALL EVERYONE!
Just wanted to let all you suckas know exactly what is going on in the world of Majority Lost.
We are hard at work in the studio to bring you our next album by the beginning of next year. Our First track from it "Soul For Sale" is up for your listening pleasure....seems to be a crowd favorite already...
In the meantime we will be featured on the Punk Rock Concoction 3 comp with all of our punk rock brethren. We are also putting out a split with our good friends UNFALLEN HEROES and GET DEAD on Horns Up Records due out soon.
We have been giggin locally and enjoying beautiful southern California....but we do miss the North. So December 5th and 6th we are OREGON BOUND. Just a couple shows to tide us over until the weather breaks and we can do a full tour. But it should be a fucking blast. Stay tuned for dates....
Other then that, we are focused on making this album the best one yet. We are so surprised by the response to the last one, we know we have to fucking blow your minds. As soon as its released, look for us in a town near you.
Until next time, drop us a line, pick up the album or merch and let us know where the fucking party is at....no seriously...we like to drink...
Much Love,
Jesse

What’s new with us? LOTS OF STUFF!!!
First off….we have a show this Saturday, July 12th with Unwritten Law at The Malibu Inn, in Malibu, CA. Get your tix now before it sells out. Show is 18 and up. For tickets, go to: https://www.wavesoundtickets.com/display event.asp?id=2081
We are also going to be in an upcoming issue of Amp Magazine. We'll keep you posted for details. Be sure to check it out!
We just got back a couple weeks ago from our Pacific Northwest tour, which was amazing to say the least. We posted some pictures from the tour in our pics section. Check em out! We met some of the most awesome people, and played some of our best shows to date. Thanks to everyone that came out to the shows, partied with us, and supported us in anyway. A big thanks to Unfallen Heroes and Kill the Kids for their help with booking, playing, sleeping arrangements, awesome shows…etc. We love you guys!!
We have been in the studio, starting to write our new record. We have a few songs going, and are really stoked on the overall progression and sound we are getting. We’ll be writing all summer with some local shows throughout. We also are starting to plan out our fall touring, keep an eye out for dates!
Many of you may already know, but for those who don’t……yes, it’s true. We have a new guitar player. Our old guitar player and friend, Andy, had to leave the band to take care of his family. He and his wife Sara had their second child, Easton James Gerber. We couldn’t be more excited for the two of them! Our new guitar player is Donal Finn, who also produced/engineered our record, so we couldn’t be happier with him joining. The shows with Donal have been amazing, and we are stoked to have him as part of the family.
