More power to the band!  They rock, and their music is positive.  We need more of that in this world.

I've written about Lost Ocean probably around 10 times, including one of their initial shows which was at the first location for Gigantic Vintage in downtown Bakersfield. You can really see the transformation in the boys of Lost Ocean by just reading through the articles and photos I've posted through the past 2 years.

Lost Ocean is an emigma for Bakersfield in both the style of music and their success. Why, Soulajar, though a decent band got more of a front page spread in the Californian than EMI-signed Lost Ocean is just strange, but typical. Don't get me wrong, Soulajar is awesome. But you see my point: based upon success, Lost Ocean should have been the first band written about, not The Dives, and not Soulajar.

I think bands like Lost Ocean need support and encouragement from their hometown (as do all Bakersfield bands). Look at how Korn used to mock Bakersfield for years. I don't blame them. There was no radio or print coverage at all for a long time. And yet Korn spawned Nu-metal. And now Korn has uplifted Bakersfield with kind words in the press, though likely the band is now broken up. Sources are telling me they're through.

Nice, very nice Robin.  My grandson listens to screamo and it gives me a headache.  I hope it's not too much of a let down that some of us older folks find their music enjoyable.  I hope Lost Ocean's future is full of good things.
