Packetloss is a band that breaks up what it means to be a band. Thanks to Covid, working from home is a real thing. Not just for your average day job, but music too. Our name comes from the headache of “Packetloss” when playing together online, it causes lag between us and white noise. (Not Fun!)
Packetloss was formed in April of 2023. The lead guitarist and vocalist Jamie met Geetar Jack on Jamulus and started playing covers of songs together. Steve joined playing drums at times (when he didn’t wake the kids bashing on his drums). In April, Jamie wrote a song called “Guided by the Storm” and enlisted Geetar Jack for Bass and Rhythm Guitar and Steve for Drums.
The style of Packetloss is a wide range of punk / rock / metal with a lot of inspiration from artists such as (but not limited to) Linkin Park, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, NOFX, Blink 182, Sum 41, Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold.
Never Met?
Originally we never met as a band in person, All our “Reconnected” album was recorded by recording our individual pieces and mixing them together. (Jamie calls this Covid Style). In Feb of 2024 this changed and we finally met and played together for the first time.
What Next?
We released our latest album in November of 2024 and now we are working on album 2…
