Formed in early 2008, Chicago IL.
Entering iteration 2.5, I Lost Control is rockin' as strong as ever.
Stevo continues to lead the charge with 360s, knee drops and angel wings on stage. First lieutenant Tennent backs him up on lead axe, walking the fine line between subtle hooks and uncontrolled feedback. He remains the band's genuine gloomy British connection.
Tina L Sunny joins them to add a wealth of Indiana indie rock heritage on the bass. She also brings an innate knowledge of herbal remedy cures. This is why the faint scent of peppermint pervades every I Lost Control show.
I Lost Controls percussive powerhouse is rounded out by the smooth stylings of Chris on drums. He is a big fan of Industrial Satanic Electrogrind Metal and is a friend to all animals.
We tell you this now because we will never EVER personally introduce ourselves at a show.
Now...
I Lost Control's 2011 debut EP Cones & Arrows is floating around cyber space and available at choice Chicago music shops such as Laurie's Planet Of Sound, Hard Boiled Records, and Reckless. We have two full-releases worth of material on the books.
Much more to follow…
“Chicago band (and good friends) I Lost Control have released their debut EP, Cones and Arrows! Harnessing obvious inspiration from Joy Division, they offer a five tunes of tense, moody lead lines and “it’s too late” lyrics. Check it out!”
James Seidler - Ape Mind Transcripts
"I Lost Control should appeal to anybody that likes gloomy British music from the ’80s, but they’re a little more interesting than most of their immediate peers."
Oswald Hobbes - Assault
"... I Lost Control was overall a crowd favorite. They cheered, shouted, and shook their way past the invisible fence in front of the stage."
