Lost Focus Online Interview

Hey guys. Today we're talking to the guys from Lost Focus. Learn about how they formed and what their plans are for the future. Definitely give these guys a listen once you've read the interview: 

How did you guys meet one another?

One of the band’s guitarist’s Wes, was in two bands, one at university and one in his home town. When both bands fell apart, we took the best of both bands and created Lost Focus.

How was the band name created? 

It stemmed from word association of things that were relevant in our lives at the time and grew from that until we settled on two ideas put together: Lost Focus.

How would you describe the music your band creates?

We want to keep people moving, something they can jump and dance to and generally give them a good feeling. So there are elements of pop-rock but each member brings something different to the band.


What are some of the themes and messages that come across in your songs?

They are all just about experiences through our lives so far, focusing on the main themes of; relationships, discovery, maturity and just wanting to have fun that derive from our mid-teens through to where we are now in our twenties.


What are your plans for 2016? 

We’ve got a couple of gigs already booked for the next few months, including The Alex and Talking Heads, but we are always looking to book more. We’ve also been in the studio recording our debut EP which will be out soon with plans for more studio recordings to come out afterwards.

Finally, if there was only one album you could listen to for the rest of your life which one would you choose and why?

Dan: NOW 75… jokes. I don’t know! Maybe I would just listen to our album!

Steve: Foo Fighters Wasting Light, that album is a banger, Dave Grohl is a legend. The album has everything rawness, emotion and an epic story behind it. Every song is perfect. Dave's song writing is quality and so is the production that Butch Vig brings to the album. I would listen to that every day over and over... In fact I pretty much did when it was released

Wes: I can never decide on a favorite album. But there are albums that I will always come back to and never get bored of such as; Kaiser Chiefs - Employment, Catfish and the Bottlemen – Balcony, Air Traffic – Fractured Life.

Matt: I’m loving 5SOS new album, however for me it would have to be some classic Bon Jovi, maybe their greatest hits to get a wide selection.

Will: Could a make a mixed album with all the songs I want on there? I think I would have to go with Barbara by We are Scientists. Overall I think it’s a strong album with both bouncy and fun songs as well as atmospheric tunes. Although I am partial to Red by TV Snow.
