Lo Mass Republic, are a Los Angeles-based group formed in 2002, who have quickly become an integral part of the LA rock scene. Originally signed by Arista Records in 2003, their debut album was recorded in Seattle by Rick Parashar [Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, Alice In Chains, Nickelback] and mixed by Jack Joseph Puig at Ocean Way. Unfortunately, due to unseen circumstances Lo Mass Republic’s album never saw the light of day. In 2006 the band decided to independently hire John Travis [Kid Rock, Juliana Theory, Social Distortion] to help record and produce their new album, Poisoned Heart Machines.
