For being around such a short time, Loss Of One already has quite a story to their name. Originally entitled “A
New Hope” members Mark Wisneski (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Brandon Ogden (Bass/Vocals), Chase Thyssen (Drums), and Jesse
Schultz (Rhythm/Vocals) started the cliché garage band back in the summer of 2002. They played a small amount of gigs but
never really got serious about the band. Unfortunately tragedy struck early for this new group of rockstars. In March of 2003
Jesse Schultz suddenly passed away. It was a shock to everyone. After a few months had gone by Mark, Brandon, and Chase decided
they would continue Jesse’s dream and keep the band together. In honor of Jesse they renamed themselves “Loss
Of One”, and decided to get serious. They played a few smaller clubs and the Wisconsin State Battle of the Bands and
slowly started gaining a fanbase. However, it wasn’t until they played the Hurricane Katrina Relief concert that they
caught the eyes of Skrewed Records. The relationship between the two is young yet, but hopefully with a little time, and a
lot of work, some kick ass things will follow. We plan on recording a cd ... sometime . For this summer we want to play
as many shows as we can and promote this band so much. Every show that this band does is all for Jesse, we know
he's looking down on this band and making sure we keep kicking ass. And to show to everyone we play for,
what a small town band can do!!!!!
