Lost Pitch Makes Their Mark

Bumpy Ride introduces a fresh new voice in indie rock

By mysoundMusicPublished 2 months ago 3 min read

Toronto’s rising indie rock band Lost Pitch steps into the spotlight with the release of their debut album, Bumpy Ride — a 12-track journey overflowing with jangly guitars, vivid storytelling, and the kind of emotional texture that defines a band ready for a long run.

Released on October 24, 2025, the album clocks in at 40 minutes and introduces listeners to a world where nostalgia, modern indie sensibilities, and heartfelt lyricism collide.

The project opens with the dreamy title track Bumpy Ride before bursting into the album’s lead single, It’s a Trap!, the song that first put Lost Pitch on the map. Mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios by Frank Arkwright (Oasis, Blur), the single encapsulates everything the band does best: bright, melodic guitar work, explosive choruses, and a contagious blend of indie rock, power pop, and psychedelic shimmer.

A Debut with Depth and Direction

While It’s a Trap! celebrates resilience and the determination to rise stronger after setbacks, the rest of Bumpy Ride expands that theme into a full emotional arc. Tracks like Speaking Silences, The One, Pieces of You, and Down Here showcase Lost Pitch’s talent for pairing vulnerability with high-energy arrangements. Elsewhere, songs like Stranger to Me, Stranger to You, and the whimsical Lulu and Her Multicoloured Scarf allow the band to lean into their quirky, psychedelic edge.

Each track weaves together the band’s influences — from The Lemon Twigs’ theatrical flair to the warm, sun-soaked tones of Real Estate — while still landing firmly in a sound uniquely their own. Whether it’s the retro pop charm of Nina or the reflective close of A Day or Two, Bumpy Ride feels carefully sequenced, cohesive, and quietly bold.

“It’s a Trap!” — The Spark That Lit the Fuse

As the project’s flagship single, It’s a Trap! is the beating heart of the album. Written during a period of personal upheaval, the song reminds listeners that challenges aren’t dead ends — they’re turning points. With upbeat rhythms, infectious hooks, and vocals that shift from playful swagger to heartfelt urgency, it’s a track built for repeat plays and festival stages.

The band’s decision to collaborate with Frank Arkwright adds an unmistakable polish, elevating the warm, vintage-inspired tones and allowing every guitar shimmer and drum hit to shine. It’s the kind of single that signals a breakout moment — and Lost Pitch is clearly ready for theirs.

A Band on the Rise

Bumpy Ride marks more than a debut; it’s the culmination of years spent writing, playing Toronto’s indie circuit, and refining a sound that bridges generations. With a promotional rollout planned across Canada, the UK, and the U.S., the album plants Lost Pitch firmly on the international radar.

Their blend of guitar-driven energy, melodic charm, and emotionally grounded lyrics makes them a rare find in today’s crowded music landscape — accessible yet distinct, nostalgic yet forward-thinking.

The Journey Starts Here

With Bumpy Ride, Lost Pitch isn’t just introducing an album — they’re establishing an identity. This is indie rock with purpose, crafted by musicians who care deeply about storytelling, sonics, and connection.

Whether you’re drawn to bright riffs, psychedelic undertones, or lyrics that hit close to home, this album has something waiting for you.
