Lost Horizons formed in late 2016 and hail from Modesto. Members include Cody Nye Vocals, Eddie Biedebach Guitar who started writing music together. They eventually recruited Aaron Kelch Bass and Jonny Avila Guitar to join and start a full band with Jojo Jorgensen on Drums. They now have eight songs and are working on more. Their plan is to record an EP by the end of this summer and follow that with a full-length album. Lost Horizon’s biggest influences are Motionless In White, The Amity Affliction, Hearts Wake and Parkway Drive. The guy’s tell me their music is about “self-realization and development”. They focus on hardships to make it relatable to the listeners. I can understand that as well as some of you out there. Hardships are a part of life. The hardships we endure make us the people we are today. These guys are best friends that like to do crazy shit but manage to stay out of trouble. Practices are held at the band’s managers house Mr. John Kuhn, he is Lost Horizon’s heart, giving them a place to practice, write and create. He provides the push to be the best band they can be. The guys listed off some of their favorite 209 local Metal bands including Painting Chaos, Nothing But Losers, Hellheart, Hard Knox and Whitewolf. I personally enjoy hearing local bands supporting their brothers and sisters in music. Currently, they are writing new material and enjoy being on the road playing out of town shows. But they love playing local with all of their friends and say everyone’s support and sticking by them thru their ups and downs means enough to them that they mentioned it in this article.
Hang The Kode’s first full-length album, Molotov Cocktail Party is being released this month on Friday, August 11 at The Other Place Modesto. I hope all you thrash metal punks can come out and support. Purchase your physical copy for $10. They will be setting up a website where you can buy the physical copy and they will ship it to you. To purchase a digital copy visit Hangthekode.bandcamp.com.
