The Send and

The band started as a combination of two different bands that attended the same church (Riverlakes Church). Black, Johnson and Short were in a band called The Last Of Us and Gray was in a band called the Curves. After a few line up changes and stylistic changes the band settled on the pop, indie rock sound they are known for.
In early 2009, it was announced that Lost Ocean had been dropped from
Credential Recordings after their contract ran out. In June 2009, Lost Ocean released their first independent release called ''All Our Friends - EP''. In November 2009, Lost Ocean released their second studio album, ''Could This Be Love?''
