Lo-Pro
Lo-Pro is an American rock band formed in 2002 by Pete Murray and Neil Godfrey after the disbandment of their previous band, Ultraspank, in 2001. After attracting the attention of Aaron Lewis of Staind, the band signed to a major record label, Geffen Records, and released their debut album, '' Lo-Pro'' in 2003. After a year of touring in support of the album, they would be dropped from their label. The band stayed together, but it would be almost six years until any further music releases, with the band opting to record and re-record several album's worth of material, participate in side-projects, and perform live shows prior to finalizing new material for release. The long gap in releases in turn lead to a number of consecutive releases in the following years, including the '' Letting Go'' EP in 2009, a second album, '' The Beautiful Sounds of Revenge'', in 2010, and an acoustic album, '' Bittersweet'', under the pseudonym "Life on Planet 9", in 2011.
