Da escola Interpol de melancolia cinzenta vem o quarteto de Oklahoma The Lost End, que debutou há pouco menos de dois meses com seu álbum homônimo.
Feita a conexão inicial com o Interpol, é necessário dizer que o The Lost End é um tanto mais ácido, enquanto o Interpol, no início paira por entre as cinzas melancólicas do pós punk, o The Lost End, pega estas cinzas e vai as triturando gradativamente por entre as sombras, sem haver a menor hipótese de haver uma luz. Consciente ou inconscientemente os caras evocam a versão dark do The Cult, o The Southern Death Cult por diversas vezes, deixando tudo mais pesado mesmo.
Se você procura por peso e sombras, o The Lost End é certamente algo que você não deve deixar passar de forma alguma.

***** Interview with The Lost End *****
1) The Lost End began as a three piece in March 16’, Trevor Helm on Drums, Brian Daniel on Bass, Scott Jones on Guitar.
The three of us were previously in a band together with a different vocalist and after a brief stint he decided to leave. After his departure we decided to keep writing and continue as a new band. So we looked for a new vocalist while we worked up this new set of songs
(That would later make up our recent LP)
Fast-forward four months, Ryan Taylor responds to our ad. Impressed by his range and capabilities we invite Ryan to join the band.
Now a complete unit, we continued to work on our new set of songs. We performed the set live for the first time in February 17’
