Transmission Lost

Transmission Lost is the pseudonym of American alternative artist Garret Ashton, a prolific singer-songwriter/guitarist based in Houston, Texas. He takes elements of his rock, punk, grunge, blues, hip-hop, and electronic music roots and combines them to tell the stories about fate, hope, love, death, search for meaning, and the spaces in between. 

Originally from the small town of Fruitland, Idaho, he grew up playing guitar with his two cousins and was surrounded by peaceful views of the countryside. They were big fans of grunge, especially Stone Temple Pilots. At first, he was drawn to play covers. By the age of 17, he made the decision to make his own stuff. Fascinated by guitar, he felt he was good at piecing together chord progressions while writing songs. 

His biggest influences stemmed from Linkin Park, RHCP, Yellowcard, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Awolnation, 21 Pilots, Nothing But Thieves, Queen, The Killers, Stone Temple Pilots.
