Almost Gone was made up of four precocious Southern California high schoolers in the late '90s, playing original melodic punk rock songs at house parties. Their style grew and matured over their multiple releases, but came to an end in the mid 2000s. During those years, the band's music acted as a soundtrack for a very loyal base of fans in their hometown, but because their albums pre-dated the concept of digitally-distributed music, we are now re-releasing them many years later in an effort to liberate the songs from their plastic disc prisons. Almost Gone was: - Mark Sylvis (RIP), vocals and songwriter - Mike Wendland, lead guitar - Joe Lafaro, bass guitar and David Freidman, bass guitar on The Virgin Element - Chris Toyer, drums
