Before the four lads known as Losing Focus had even left high school their debut demo, "Autumn Contagious," garnered heavy rotation at the number-one Rock station in their Western Canadian hometown. Flash forward a few years and the quartet are now driven college students, drawing from a vast array of influences to create a sound that's as accessible as it is potent. Delivering locked-in performances to increasingly enthusiastic audiences seeking their "rock therapy," Losing Focus is rapidly creating a name for themselves beyond their native land. The refining of their raw fury can be credited to Juno Award-winning (and Grammy-nominated) producer Brandon Friesen, who's taken Losing Focus under his wing. He not only produced their debut album, "A Portrait for the Ransom"--a fierce compendium of lyrically loaded feelings and emotions that produces a visceral reaction akin to that a of a shotgun--but also has taken on management of the group. The boys are now jet set to Hollywood where they will be showcasing at A&R Worldwide's MusExpo 2007. The band acknowledges their good fortune and continues to look forward.
