Biography

The band's style combines fast, heavy riffs with slower, melodic sections and strong vocal harmonies to create a sound that cannot be easily pigeonholed, it sits somewhere within the rock/alternative scene.

The main influences of the band have been cited as Queen, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Mansun, Pink Floyd and Weezer.[1] Whilst none of these are particularly prevalent in the band's overall sound, there are subtle nods to these bands both musically, lyrically and dynamically in the band's music. Battelle (songwriter) in particular, embodies the energy and direction of the band. A versatile vocalist and guitarist, he has developed a unique stage style and aesthetic which has grown to include alternative slide guitar techniques, push-ups on stage mid-song and the inimitable, crowd-pleasing 'flip-catch-guitar-solo-with-shoe' move.

The band have spent the majority of 2008/2009 writing the follow up to "Say No To The World"

In December 2009 the band signed to Sire/Warner Brothers records in the USA for the entire world.

Touring

LostAlone have toured extensively across the UK and Europe,[2] supporting several bands, most notably 30 Seconds to Mars, Enter Shikari, Paramore and My Chemical Romance. They have also constantly toured the UK and Europe as a headline act in between supporting more established acts mentioned above. Their first ever show was in Derby on 30th January 2005. The band have also appeared on numerous high-profile European festivals including Taste of Chaos, Give it a Name, Download, Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, T in the Park, Oxegen and the Carling Weekend.[3]

2008 started with a five-date headline tour of Finland, then main support to 30 Seconds To Mars in the UK. In February the band again toured with Paramore after which they announced that they would take a break from touring and return to the rehearsal room to write their second record.

It has been announced that LostAlone will be the opening act for 30 Seconds To Mars on their European 2010 Tour.
