According to the weather man on the radio this morning, it's officially summer, which probably means it's going to rain. But do not despair, we are here to cheer you up in the shape of our Band of the Month for June, Hertfordshire trio Lost Without Cause.
Now an all boy band with new guy JJ replacing Rosetta on drums, they have recently released their album "Take Back Everything" which shows the trio bringing a very much welcome new edge to their pop punk sound. Having already appeared on MTV2 and played with bands like My Passion and R13 favourites Don Broco, we expect Lost Without Cause to be hot property in the near future.
Lead singer and bassist, Si Marks, kindly answered our questions:

If you were the prime minister for one day, what would you do:
Lower the price of petrol, Make a national Pizza Day, where everyone is allowed to stay at home and scoff pizza all day.
And I'd have Red Bull Tap's fitted in homes in the UK.
If you could go back to any time in history, where would you go and why:
I'd go back to the Jurassic period and wrestle a T-Rex
While we contemplate the odds on Si beating the T-Rex, you can see him in action along with Andy and JJ in their newish video for 'Trigger' right here:
