History

Losers formed in 2007 as the remix project of Temple-Morris and Bellamy.[1] They released their first album, "Beautiful Losers", in September 2010.[2] The first single "Flush", featuring rappers Riz MC and Envy, received coverage from the music press[3] and the BBC.[4]

Guitarist Paul Mullen joined the band in October 2010,[5] marking the start of a move away from dance-oriented music and towards more guitar-focused rock music. By summer 2011 drummer Mark Heron had also joined the band, and they began working on their second album "...And So We Shall Never Part".[6][7][8] The album was released on 4 April 2014.[9] The single "Turn Around" was used as the backing music for the trailer for the fourth season of US television series Game of Thrones,[10][11]while their single "Azan" was used on the trailer for film Hercules. [12] Lately they have been touring Europe as guests of Sisters Of Mercy. [13]
