2005 saw The Lost Valentinos immediately established themselves as one of the most exciting acts in Sydney's indie quarters. By the time their self-titled EP (produced by Kim Moyes of The Presets) hit store shelves later in the year, their up-and-coming reputation was solidified, with the EP's initial pressing selling out in its first week of release and publications such as Rolling Stone, Nylon and Vice UK hitting up the band for their tearjerking tale of success. Their first single, the noirish and anthemic "Man With The Gun", immediately achieved high rotation on Triple J and earned the band a featured spot on the station's Next Crop segment. With their newest EP, Damn & Damn Again, The Lost Valentinos' reputation as a gang of rogues intent on forging their own original sound has been cemented. Produced by pop svengalis Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes (Pnau) and mastered in NY by the legendary Greg Calbi (The Strokes, Sonic Youth, Blondie), Damn & Damn Again is the haunting follow-up to their successful self-titled debut. It displays a band perfectly at ease with combining a shuddering shitstorm of rattling hi-hats and punk intensity with ambient soundscapes and noise-drenched melodies. Touching on My Bloody Valentine's buried treasures, Spacemen 3's drug-drenched psychedelia and, our old friends, the Stone Roses' chiming choruses, the EP perfectly blends The Tinos' need for experimentation with their love of torching the dance floor.
