1) Lost Years is Magnus Larson from Avesta, Sweden. His enthusiasm for the 1980s, red wine and collecting Roland synthesizers has landed him a permanent spot on the Rosso Corsa Records roster. His music ranges from charming surprises to soundtracks for bad-ass newscasts.

Before he started collecting Roland synthesizers, Magnus spent his time playing guitar in the 80s punk and 90s hardcore scenes.
2) Lost Years is an alternative/punk rock band from Indiana, USA, formed by three friends in 2010. Since then the group has released one Acoustic LP through Capeside Records which led to Lost Years winning the Ernie Ball Battle of The Bands Acoustic Basement and being featured on the Indianapolis date of the 2013 Vans Warped Tour. In addition, Lost Years have released three full length records including the new album ‘Wish You Weren’t Here’, released in February 2023.

Most nights I'm just trying to get by. But some
Times life brings you to your knees and some times
You might just find, traditions all you need.
