That's Their Style...The Lost Patrol Story....Show # 256

Lost Patrol were a band from Windsor, Ontario in Canada. The band was born out of another band that was known as Fireball XL5. They were put together by bass player Paul Langan. The rest of the band consisted of Bob Mitchie (drums), Dave Whitehead (guitar) and Karen Marrero on vocals. The bands musical influences ranged from bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Seeds, The Byrds, The Modern Lovers to bands like Big Brother and The Holding Co. The bands sound would be a mix of Garage Rock, Punk and New Wave.

Playing around places in Windsor, Ontario, Toronto, Montreal and Detroit, Lost Patrol built up a fan following. They recorded several EP's, and one full length album. Lost Patrol was released in 1988. It contained 14 songs and was released on the Stop It Baby Record label. Through this label, the band also gained an overseas following in places such as France.

A music video that was made for the song "I'm Not The One", received airplay on Much Music in Canada. They also appeared on the TV show Star Search. Lost Patrol lasted for five years and then split up following the recording of a Bobby Fuller song ("New Shade of Blue") for a compilation album. They have also been featured on numerous other compilation albums. In 2008, Windsor Arts & Music Magazine voted Lost Patrol's Second Time Around EP as one of the best Windsor albums ever. Unfortunately Lost Patrol's releases remain out of print, but for those who can find them they will not be disappointed. Lost Patrol is an example of a great band who was only around for a short period of time. More information, song clips and videos of the band can be found via their Myspace page.
