Admit it: you’ve never considered South Dakota to be a capital of creativity and a mecca of music. But after listening to the blistering riffs, introspective lyrics, melodic singing and unequaled intensity of Lost Autumn, you may have a new musical respect for the state.

Lost Autumn is a distinctive alternative rock/melodic hardcore act hailing from Rapid City, South Dakota that explains its style as ranging ”from songs about how Nickleback sucks to songs about loss.” Quirky as it may be, that statement is true, and Lost Autumn does produce music that illustrates a diverse range of influences and messages.
