“A Loss For Words is breathing some much needed fresh air into the emo punk scene.. Fresh off their first tour up and down the east coast, they are constantly winning over new fans with their intense live performance and Mikey Fresh’s good looks. They are always on the go, playing countless shows to support the release of their debut E.P “These Past 5 Years”, out off of RockVegas Records. In under two months they have sold a thousand copies. They hang somewhere in between Hot Water Music and Rufio, with their infectious hooks and awesome melodies. These seven new anthems from this Boston based band will earn them legions of new fans in no time… You can’t stop the rock. Now you should all go buy AL4W’s debut E.P. “These Past Five Years” out on Rockvegas Records!!” (Myspace Bio)
