Biography

English indie pop group the Loose Salute formed in 2004 around the talents of Ian McCutcheon (drummer with Mojave 3) and vocalist Lisa Billson. The band released its debut EP, Suck It Up Buttercup, in October of that same year. The release garnered good word of mouth both regionally and internationally, eventually attracting interest from Chicago-based independent label Graveface, which would go on to release the now expanded group's first full-length recording, Tuned to Love, in June of 2007. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

The Loose Salute are a British band founded by drummer Ian McCutcheon of Slowdive and Mojave 3 who also sings and plays guitar. The band consists of Lisa Billson (vocals, keys, percussion), Charlotte King (vocals, percussion, bells and whistles),Alan Forrester (bass, keys). The artwork for the album is by Daryl Waller, who also directed the video for the bands song The Mutineer.

In a departure from McCutcheon's past projects, The Loose Salute plays a dreamy, surf rock sounding chorus of music helped live by friends and fans. The band tries to encapsulate togetherness and loneliness as well surfing, partying, and beaches among other things in their music. The band spend their time in between London and Cornwall and use the Cornwall beaches and life as inspiration for their music. The Loose Salute are signed to Heavenly Records in the UK and Graveface Records in the US.

The name is apparently a reference to the Michael Nesmith album of the same name.
