MySpace a place for friends

Some may sit back and wonder how a band as exceptional as One Life Lost could come out of the small little town of Columbus, Ohio... well, it is a wonder to us too...it all began back a few years ago with a girl and a dream. lead vocalist shell had a vision to start a "band." armed with nothing but a guitar shell began her search...she quickly found a few talented souls including current keyboard player and all around stud muffin, simeon clark. stylistically the two had to learn to work with each other, shell approaching from an almost folky acoustic guitar standpoint, and simeon gleaning inspiration from the likes of bands such as dream theatre who are known for their crazy instrumental pieces and backbreaking solos. somewhere in this the two began to craft a style all their own ...

even though the band now had the beginnings of a smashing lineup, they were still quite drummerless, but their prayers would soon be answered in the form of a young man by the name of michael snyder .. after taking a break from the whole band "thing" mike felt it was time again to seek out a group of like-minded people to create beautiful music with .. Mike realized as he met with the band for the first time at starbucks that he had met shell a year previously when she had played at the coffee shop where he worked .. mike and the band immediately fell in love and he has been with the band since early september of 2005...over the next two years the band would begin to further hone their style

the most recent addition has come in the form of AJ Maynard. AJ and Mike had already been friends for quite some time and when it came time to seek out a new guitar player AJ was one of the first names mentioned...he was at the time, however, working doing sound production in New York City...after months of prayer everyone really felt that this was the right fit and so aj moved back home and a new band member was born. and the rest they say, is history....
