Lost City Angels were a punk rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. Their most well-known line-up consisted of members, Ron Ragona, Adam Shaw, Chris Duggan, Drew Indingaro and Nick Bacon.
Lost City Angels were founded in 2001 by Adam Shaw, Chris Duggan and guitarist Drew Indingaro. The original line-up was completed when former Bruisers guitarist, Scott Vierra, and former Spring Heeled Jack vocalist/guitarist joined soon after. Following a year or so of touring, Vierra decided to move on and Ragona's fellow Spring Heeled Jack bandmate, Mike Pellegrino stepped in to play guitar.
The band played in clubs along the North East United States, landing a hometown support slot for Australia's The Living End at the Paradise Rock Club. The members of The Living End were so impressed by The Lost City Angels, that they contacted their agent and insisted that the band support them for the remainder of their United States tour. Pellegrino left the band soon after and former Pilfers guitarist, Nick Bacon, was brought in as the band's guitarist. A stint on the Vans Warped Tour and an opening slot on a Social Distortion tour would soon follow.
These support slots and reviews of their live show attracted the attention of The Offspring vocalist Dexter Holland, who would sign The Lost City Angels to his Nitro Records. The band recorded with former The Mighty Mighty Bosstones member Nate Albert for a 2002 self-titled release on Nitro Records.
After continuous touring in support of their self-titled release with bands such as Social Distortion, Flogging Molly, Andrew W.K., Allister, Further Seems Forever, Dynamite Boy, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and The Living End, Lost City Angels signed a recording contract with Stay Gold Records, an imprint of Universal Records.
