Underrated Underground Bands Part 6: Lo-Pro

Lo-Pro -Not Me

Most of Lo-Pro's band members were already rock veterans at the time of the creation of the band; Pete Murray and Neil Godfrey had been in Ultraspank, Tommy Stewart was Godsmack's original drummer, and Jonathan Fahnestock had played in both Amen and Snot. Lo-Pro was the first signing of Aaron Lewis' 413 Records, his vanity imprint through Geffen. By the summer of 2003, Lo-Pro was in the studio with producer Don Gilmore, also producer for Pearl Jam and Linkin Park. A few months later, their eponymous album was released.

After the band was finished touring in support of the album, they were dropped by 413 records. Nothing much was heard from the group until late 2005, when the track "Ingenious" was released on their MySpace.

Currently Lo-Pro is looking for "The RIGHT Label" to release their second album. They currently have some of the new tracks up on their myspace page. The Tracks include "Texas", "Blame Me" and "Breathe."

The band recently started up another MySpace page which features four acoustic songs. Also, drummer Tommy Stewart recently joined Fuel as their fulltime drummer.

Love the band, and this album, however, the lead vocalist (while good) seems to hit the same high note during every chorus of EVERY song, and that gets boring, a little more versatility would perfect it.

@GoBucks2828 I agree for the most part, I saw Faceless as a bit better than Awake all around, both are still great though. IV was just shit and the Self-Titled Album was gold to me.

I have yet to buy The Oracle, but have heard it and am pretty impressed at the rebound. Especially after the dud that was IV.

[GoBucks2828]

In terms of skill I think Larkin might be better than Stewart. But I think Stewart's work is more enjoyable to listen to and suits Godsmack better. I thought Godsmack's best stuff was their first two albums, most notably, the Awake album. ...and never liked them quite the same after.

Ya, Pete Murray was the original vocalist for Ultraspank.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this band. Their self-titled album was a perfect 10 IMHO, and hopefully they'll get signed and release more. So far it just looks like they have an Ep.
