Lost in a Name (10) Heavy Rock/Pop

http://www.myspace.com/lostinaname

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.
