Background notes
Archive material and source history
A Loss for Words came together in Orange County, California, playing a mix of post-hardcore and melodic hardcore. Their lineup included Michael Swank on vocals, Matt DiFabio and Bryan Diaz on guitars, Derek Sellers on bass, and Charles Billingham on drums. They put out their first album, 'Distance,' in 2004, and followed it with records like 'The Kids Can't Lose' in 2007 and 'Ceremony' in 2018.
Songs like 'Highway 24 Revisited' and 'Heavy Lies The Crown' show their style, with aggressive guitar work and Swank's vocals moving between raw intensity and more melodic passages. Their lyrics often dealt with personal themes, which sometimes drew scrutiny from critics who found them too dark.
They faced the usual early struggles with lineup changes and money, but kept recording through it. The band's sound drew from influences like Thrice and Deftones, and they maintained a steady presence in their scene without becoming a mainstream breakout. Their last album came out in 2018.
