A Loss for Words (formerly Last Ride) was an American pop punk band[1] from Abington, Massachusetts.[2]

History[]

Early years (1999–2004)[]

Matty Arsenault and Danny Poulin from Lions Lions started a new band, Last Ride Pony Rides and, in 1999,[3] it would soon feature Kreg Dudley, Chris Murphy, and Evan Cordeiro.[4] The band had five names listed in a notebook before they changed it, and one of the names was A Loss for Words.[5] The band would change its name to A Loss for Words after attending a minister's service.[3] Mike Adams was soon drafted to play bass after the original bass player had no desire to play in front of people.[3] Marc Dangora, from MAFFUMPH, joined in 2004.[3]

Early releases (2004–2007)[]

By April 2004, several tracks were posted on the band's PureVolume account: "Bullets Leave Holes", "Death or Glory", "Rose Colored Lens", "Shoot for Seven", "Faze 3", and "Warren's Eyes".[6] The band recorded 3 songs with Matt Squire in College Park, Maryland, in January 2005.[7] A track listing for a release called Coming Soon to a Theater Near You, released in 2004, was put up in February.[8] In March, it was announced the band were in a studio recording six songs that would be released on an EP, to be released by Rock Vegas, with a planned release month of May.[9] The tracks were finished being mixed by April, and a new release month set, June.[10] Unmastered versions of two tracks, "A Theme for Your Ego" and "Bullets Leave Holes", from the EP were posted online in May.[11] "A Theme for Your Ego" featured guest vocals by Brendan Brown from The Receiving End of Sirens.[10] The band released their first EP on Rock Vegas[12] on 1 July, called These Past 5 Years (2005).[13] The EP sold over 1,000 copies in under two months.[14] On September 23, Rock Vegas revealed the EP sold out in 4 weeks, and that they were repressing it with new disc art.[15]

In February 2006, the band posted "Half Step Down" on their MySpace profile.[16] In April, the band mentioned they were writing some new songs for a new release later in the year.[17] In December, Rock Vegas said the band had finished recording four songs a split release with They Sleep the Dream.[18] By 2007, the band would become an active touring band.[19] The split was released in March 2007.[14] The band released a cover of Boyz II Men's "Water Runs Dry" on December 5.[20]

Jack McHugh and Nevada Smith would join in 2007.[3]

Webster Lake (EP) (2007–2008)[]

From December 14, 2007, to February 2008, the band would be recording their first full-length album.[21] On December 27, 2007, it was announced that the band would record their first album with Nik Tyler and Matt Robnett, at Play/Work Productions.[22] The decision to record at the studio was, as Arsenault comments, "we wanted to record [...] in a studio that would give us a good sound."[19] Recording cost the band $16,000 and as a result, they had to take out a loan.[19] Several guest were announced to be featured on the album: Dan O'Connor and Alan Day from Four Year Strong, Vinnie Caruana from I Am the Avalanche, Sweet Pete from In My Eyes, and Kenny Vasoli from The Starting Line.[22]

Members of both A Loss for Words and Junction 18 created a new band, Snakes in Suits, in late January 2008.[23] A cover of The Movielife's "Face or Kneecaps" was posted on the band's Myspace account, in June.[24]

Two songs that would feature on the band's Webster Lake (2008) acoustic EP were posted on their Myspace, while at the same time it was announced that the EP would be released on June 21.[25] The EP came about while the band was working on The Kids Can't Lose (2009), the band didn't want their fans to get "too bored" as Arsenault recalls, so the band decided to do an acoustic release; Dangora and Adams had some songs they had written so the band went to record them.[26] "Wrightsville Beach", from the EP, was posted on Myspace in late July.[27] The song was named after a location on one of the band's early tours.[28] The band toured throughout October as a support act, with Four Year Strong headlining and two other support acts: I Am the Avalanche, This Is Hell.[29]

The Kids Can't Lose and Motown Classics (2008–2010)[]

A teaser for a forthcoming album by the band was posted in early December 2008.[30] Later that month, the band went on tour with Ligeia.[31] The song "40 Thieves" was posted on Myspace in March 2009,[32] as was another song, "Stamp of Approval" in May.[33] The band went on a short tour in mid-March with Fireworks, This Time Next Year, and Title Fight.[34] On March 16, the band were announced to have signed with Japanese label, In-n-Out.[35] On May 9, 2009, the band released The Kids Can't Lose album[36] by themselves;[37] to support the album, the band went on The Kids Can't Lose Tour with We Are the Union, This Time Next Year, Transit and The Status.[36] In August, the band released a music video for "Hold Your Breath",[38] directed by Rob Soucy.[39] The band toured Japan in September with The Vandals and Voodoo Glow Skulls.[40] From late September to late October, the band toured across the U.S. with The Wonder Years and Energy,[41] on The Ghostbustour.[42] Closing the year, the band went on the This Is New England Tour with Vanna, Therefore I Am from late November to mid December.[43] They won Phoenix Magazine's All Ages Band of the year over Boys Like Girls.

In February 2010, it was announced that the band would release a cover album of Motown songs, on May 11 by Paper + Plastick.[44] Around this time, the band had played "My Girl" at recent shows.[45] The band toured the UK with All or Nothing and LYU in March;[46] during these shows the band played several songs off of The Kids Can't Lose and full-band versions of Webster Lake songs.[47] The band went on an acoustic tour, with Man Overboard, Balance & Composure, in April,[48] Motown Classics was released by Paper + Plastick on May 11, with the track listing revealed a few days prior.[49] The album had been produced by Chris Curran with recording taking place at Webster Lake Studios in Boston, Massachusetts.[50] The album came about from the band's interest in Motown songs; Arsenault revealed the band just "picked the hits" and, as Smith mentions, "songs we were familiar with".[51] At the release show for the album, on May 14, at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts, a 5-track sampler was given out to attendees.[52]

The band went on tour from May till July with Transit, Kid Liberty, and Such Gold from May to July.[53] The band toured in the UK in September, with Not Advised and LYU,[54] however, Our Time Down replaced Not Advised before the tour began.[55] The band toured the U.S. with The Ghost Inside, First Blood, Evergreen Terrace, Deez Nuts, and Hundredth[56] on the Returners Tour between October and November.[57] The band toured Europe with Four Year Strong, in November.[58] They closed out the year touring with Such Gold, and Lions Lions.[59]
