The Loved Ones

Philadelphia Punk Rock Band

The Loved Ones is an American punk rock band based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2003, the band consists of Dave Hause (lead vocals, guitar), Michael Cotterman (bass), and Mike Sneeringer (drums). They quickly gained attention in the punk community for their energetic live shows and a sound that blends elements of punk rock with heartland rock influences. The band released their debut EP "The Loved Ones" in 2005, which was followed by their first full-length album "Keep Your Heart" in 2006. This album helped to cement their reputation within the punk scene with its anthemic songs and emotionally charged lyrics. They continued to build on their success with subsequent releases such as "Build & Burn" (2008) and the EP "Distractions" (2009). Despite not achieving mainstream success, The Loved Ones have maintained a dedicated fan base and are respected within the punk community for their contributions to the genre.
