The Lost 45s UK

Indie Beat

This band is no longer active. It may have split up or changed its name.

After recording their debut LP for mod label Biff! Bang! Pow!, The 45s have defined the current beat scene in West Yorkshire and continue to push it forward. They are the real deal, untouched by the plastic trends and fickle flirtations of a music scene desperate to cloak it's latest protegees in the threads of credibility without realizing that credibility comes with following the true path and growing with it, not jumping onto the latest ring road or by-pass.

The 45s was born of a love of classic pop and soul and are clothed in an image that mirrors their real life affiliation with the many splendoured mod scene but they take all that and more to produce their classic sound.

The band is championed on modernist and beat influenced websites the world over and has received prolonged radio play on America's coolest underground and garage radio stations but have an ingrained pop sensibility that cuts across all boundaries and swells the fold.

Nick - Vocals/Guitar
Nige - Vocals/Bass

Back end of September I reckon. Russian Roullette, KATMANDU + Legends. We were going to do 'Skeletons' but the percussion parts were a bit too mad!

Won't be long now children!!

Leeds band The Lost 45s will release a new EP on Monday 5th November. "Experiments In Pop" will be available via the band's website for just £1.49 including P&P.

The three track release contains the songs:

'Flying Fear'[ - A song about a holiday fright flight to Spain. It's sound and vocal are inspired by the Nederbeat groups of the mid 60s. Making this track a real, European Freakbeat style raver.

'The Sleepers' - A three minute nugget with a jangly folk pop feel.

'Something Sinister' - With its edgy sounding organ intro, Latin beat interludes, spooky falsetto vocals and crazy surf guitar break. The music encapsulates the songs title and subject matter perfectly.

All three tracks were recorded at The Attic, Leeds by top producer Richard Green.
