Lost Stars

Jason Code

Welcome new Nashville boy band, Lost Stars. They can best be described as a young alternative pop band based in Nashville, TN comprised of three guys with Midwest roots. "Damian and Charley met in high school, then met Trey at college (third person is the right move for this question). We all bonded over a questionable experience we had at Dominos. Turns out there?s such a thing as too much cheese on a pizza." In their first year as a band, Lost Stars released their debut EP, Dreaming in the Dark, introducing the Nashville music scene to a new brand of pop music. "We like the story telling that a lot of [Nashville] writers do. We?re happy to be able to pull from that specific country music tradition."

Shortly after in the spring of 2017, Damian Malnar (vocals/keys), Charley Holden (guitar), and Trey Warner (guitar) went on tour for the first time, hitting places like Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis and Atlanta. During this time they opened up for heavy hitting indie bands like Coin and ARIZONA, gaining thousands of new fans along the way. "Touring is exhausting, but super fulfilling.' They never got star struck by the headliners but they were excited to see 'Coin'.

"Don't accidentally buy drugs on the street from strangers and follow them back to their sketchy van to be nice. "

Since their first successful tour, they?ve released a follow-up single, "It Only Takes One", booked a second tour and signed a sync licensing deal. In the beginning of 2018 they began their 21 city tour called the 'Shot In The Dark Tour. "[The second tour] was longer, and we went to different places. First time was just kind of getting our feet wet, and there was a whole lot more to learn on the second one." They continued to speak on what they learned from being on tour and it might surprise you. "Don?t accidentally buy drugs on the street from strangers and follow them back to their sketchy van to be nice. "

Their latest release 'Whip Me' has already reached over 1k+ streams on Spotify. "This new single showcases a new progression and growth for our sound from our debut EP, "Dreaming in the Dark." We like to write about all aspects of the human experience, and that includes everything." To end the interview they gave some really good band advice for new and upcoming bands. "Put the time in and take it seriously. Otherwise you might as well get a 9-5 and just play music for fun. Also turn down your guitar amp."

With the direction this band is going, we are going to see them climbing the charts in no time. Listen to The Lost Stars on all music platforms now.
