LOS is an unknown Swedish band to me, but after hearing the first couple of notes of ‘Bad Intentions…’ I wondered why I never heard of these guys. I really dig their music. It’s a mixture of hardcore, punk and some rock.

LOS has been around since 2002 and after releasing a couple of EP’s, the band finally started working on their debut full length album. The sound of LOS is pretty original in the emo scene (how I hate that word!). No smooth and over produced vocals and sugary sweet guitar riffs, but hoarse screaming in key with some very decent guitar riffs.


Add some cool, pounding drums and there you go: LOS. The finishing touch is added by producer Klas Ideberg (Darkane, Terror 2000) and the sober artwork.

I noticed in a couple of other reviews on this album that there was some comment on the vocals, them being irritating and stuff like that. I think the vocals are cool and pretty original in this genre. And in one way or another they remind me of some band, but I just can’t seem to remember what band, aaargh.
Well, just check it out will you!
