It began as a solo project in 2003, with one person working a synthesizer, samples and literally anything else that sounded like a good idea at the time. Now, the band Loxsly is five members strong and takes its pop compositions into several different directions. There is an abundance of highly-charged rhythm and contagious melodies on their album, Maps and Organs, accompanied perfectly by singer and band founder Cody Ground's unique vocals. The happy, shiny-sounding atmosphere created by much of their music is impressively combined with lyrics that are oftentimes darker and edgier. It's intelligent and danceable, all at once. Loxsly features guitarists Garrett Johnston and [pedal steel "guitarist"] Justin Douglas, bassist Eryk Lugo, and drummer John Kelley. In December 2008 Loxsly wrote a song for a Christmas compilation called 'An Indiecater Christmas' which was put out by Indiecater Records. In 2010, Loxsly rechristened themselves as Royal Forest with the release of a self-titled EP. Read more on Last.fm.
