The Lost Patrol Band: The Lost Patrol Band
The Lost Patrol at times was a troupe of up to 20 musicians wailing away with
five guitar players. Now these Swedish cats are known as the Lost Patrol Band,
their leader having pared the group down to himself and five others. Frontman
Dennis Lyxzen, from the (International) Noise Conspiracy, kept two of the guitarists.
Most of the guys also sing, which gives the band a lot of versatility in crafting
its pop songs. The band’s European flavor comes through on each song, but
clearly the Lost Patrol Band loves the sunny sounds that have forever been the
hallmark of Southern California, ranging from the neo-psychedelic "A Girl
like You" to the perky dance of "Pick Me Up." And you can just
picture the band up to its knees in surf playing the album’s closer, "Can’t
Stand the Quiet."
