Lost in Los Angeles Review

Abstracted from Shout!'s The Pit archives

(Shout! is taking a new direction with the zine

Lost In Los Angeles was formed in 2005 in, yes you guessed it, Los Angeles California. Their wide range of musical influences include rock and roll legends Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Bad Company and even Sir Elton John.

This three piece Californian indie band struck my attention for having such a familiar vibe we all have come to love and miss. Their soothing and catchy sound is something we don’t get to hear as much these days. If you’re a fan of Incubus and Travis, you should definitely check them out. Their sound is atmospheric and hypnotizes listeners to sway their heads from side to side,whether you want to or not. Perfect for sunset dates on the beach or rolling in your Cadillac with the top down, seat back and wind gushing through your hair.

They are currently working on their full length album that is set to be released in the summer. Frontman Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan co-produced the record so it is bound to be good one! Lost In Lost Angeles is also on the way to getting signed by a label. They will be resuming shows in the fall and have plans for a few tours in 2009.

Update: Lost in Los Angeles has recently been signed by Cartel Records! Congrats boys and all the best!
