I'm pretty sure they don't exist anymore. I played guitar for them when they were called Vertigo and Signal Lost, and a smidge in Lose the Name. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're done.

I thought the band was really great, especially, coming out of the area. They were original and very high energy. Thinking and playing 'out of the box'...

I'm pretty sure I saw a Vertigo band play a battle of the bands at The Crowbar in State College back when I was probably 15 or so (im 21 now) so it was probably 5 or 6 years ago. Is that the same Vertigo your talking about?

I don't really remember your exact sound because it was soo long ago but I remember I thought you guys ruled! You guys won correct?

Yea, what ever happened to Toby? Haven't seen him in a while. Brandon Kane is in the band All the Hype right now as well. I'm not sure what's going on with those guys, but I hope they can get back together!

Last time I spoke with Toby he sold/was selling his drumkit!

I passed him in the car several days ago, but haven't seen him otherwise.

Man, he had a beautiful Tama Starclassic Kit, that's a shame!

That's what I said when he told me. I told him he'd regret it someday!
He saved for a long time to buy that kit, and was sooooooo excited when he actually got it. Too bad. Don't know for sure if he did actually get rid of it, but he seemed like it was his plan.

I'm really hard to please, as far as the music goes, but LOSE THE NAME was one of the best I heard in the area for several reason....hats off to them

I always enjoyed them, ran sound for them a couple times at Aldo's and they were all really nice guys.

I used to be good friends with Jimmy Skinny who was in both Signal Lost and Lose the Name. I haven't seen him in quite some time now...

Last time I talked to him "All The Hype" was playing at 4D's or Pellies or something but i couldn't make it to the show...
