LNS was a huge part of my life for 5 years. It wasn’t just a band - we were the best of friends. I definitely miss those days and plan to do a ‘memorial’ page with a brief history a bunch of photos and all recordings I have. In the mean time, here’s the two albums we put out. Wasted Times was the only studio album we did. It was recorded with Simon Head at Insight Recordings. Demo 2000 was recorded in our jam spot by good friend Onur Altinbalek.

Hey matt,
Been reading your blog for a while now, quite frankly, it is awesome, you much deserve all the credit you are getting for it, keep it up!
I found this page through the changlog (yes i read that thing!) and i have to say that this music it truely the icing on the cake. The band has a really nice style, get up and jump vibe, im loving it! Shame you guys arn’t together when you where putting out awesome stuff like this!
Just one thing, do you have any album art knocking about? i’m really anal about having art for all my music, if not i’ll grab a photo of you guys.
Keep up the good work with the blog man, you have been a real inspiration and given me some great ideas for V3 of my blog just got to get my arse into gear and make it happen!
Cheers again for the awesome free music! Andy

I have all the album art I can send you if you need it.

@Andy: Sorry for the late reply on this - meant to post after I added the album art.
Anyway, thanks a lot dude. I’m stoked that you like the tunes. I had a lot of fun with this band. The shows were crazy fun and I always loved seeing a ton of girls out there dancing instead of just bone-head dudes smashing each into each other.
So yea, I uploaded some high res album art. I didn’t think I had them, but came across them on an old backup disc. I also added them to the zip packages - Demo 2000 comes with the insert which has lyrics as well as the back of the cover.

Hey!
I’m loving the songs! Especially from the live stuff it sounds like you’re an ace drummer! My band is similar, http://www.accidental-president.co.uk if you fancy a peek. Over here in the UK the ska scene isn’t that big but we do our best hehe.
Gonna have these on my mp3 player for a while - great site btw, been reading for a while and will keep doing so.

Right fuckin’ on! I have been searching for LNS stuff on the net forever now, and finally hit on google. I was and have been a huge fan of all that you guys did in that group since i was in grade 7, and that seems like decades ago - i’m currently attending u of t at scarborough. But man, i grew up with those tunes; so many great memories from the dungeon (I’m a local whitby kid). I used to own a copy of wasted times, but unfortunately, it was broken in some freak accident, and i’ve been hard pressed to find LNS tunes online- and you’ve had ‘em all up here! I was impressed to see how far you’ve been able to go with your career, and it’s just always good to see some local people getting involved.Good on ya, and good luck in your further endeavours. But i got to ask about the chances of some sort of LNS reunion…
Cheers,
Tyler

Hey Matt, how’s it going?
I’m wondering if you remember me at all, but I met you a few times back in the days, first on the Go With The Flow chat, and eventually when I would go to Much On Demand or chat with you via ICQ or Email. Damn, that’s a long time ago.
Anyway, I don’t think I had talked to you after you left Much…& I can’t even remember whether you or Kelly left first now. Wow, how times have changed. I recall being a senior in elementary school and my first year of high school, and LNS changed my music taste immensely. I still remember interviewing you for that Careers class in Grade 10… sheesh. I must say, thank you for having put out such wonderful shit and changing me so much. Now I’m at the University of Western Ontario, in the MIT media program, hoping to hook myself up with some job in the music industry.
This is pretty sweet, with all the tunes up on the site. Thanks for all this… I’m definitely snatching it all, since I never ended up getting any of the merch from you, This makes up for it all, I suppose! Oh, this is lengthy…I apologize. Hope all is going well with you and the family! Do you still play with any bands or hit up the shows in Toronto? Maybe I’ll see you around.
Take care!

I can not seem to find Lucky Number Seven ANYWHERE on the internet until this site. I am a HUGE choking victim, leftover crack, NoFX and so on fan and am wondering how this music is Im new to the music and downloading the album.

Hey man, I just wanted to drop you a line letting you know how much I appreciate your old band.
Growing up (in Uxbridge) my friends and I used to check you guys out all the time, we loved you so much.
A couple weeks ago we were all in a van driving, and we randomly burst into ‘My Best Friend’, it was awesome and nostalgic.
…Afterwards we realized that none of us had any CDs or MP3s anymore and we were pretty bummed out, we looked for a while on the internet and couldn’t find anything, and it was a total downer… then I found your site and now that we have your albums we’ve been rocking them tons, haha.
Anyway, thanks for being rad and putting them up so fans can keep on partying like they used to.
Take care.
-Claire

@Krys: Glad you found me! I recently changed servers and I think I lost some pieces along the way. I just re-uploaded the Wasted Times album so give it another shot.

I just downloaded all three albums. I must say, I was kind’a suprised with the music. Maybe I expected something more like… rock?
Even though It’s not really what I was expecting, I ‘ll say - this music rocks!!
Just got it into winamp… and I think it’ll stay there for a while
Just a thingie:
Why is the “Wasted Time” track missing?
Reply
hey, you guys kick ass. some really good shit.
do u live in toronto?

WOO! Its taken me three years to find out who you guys were, I down loaded Never Liked You a few years ago, and never managed to find anything else, then I mentioned you on my blog and it turns out someone has heard of you and directed me to this sight!!

Can’t pass up free music. Little too much for my 5 a.m. start, but I’ll flip it back on later in the day. Good stuff.

hey.
lns is absolutely fantastic. i love you guys so much. i got wasted times about a year or so ago from a family friend. she was the one who got me into ska in the first place.
anyway, any time i went over to her house, she always had a cd for me to take home and listen to. i put wasted times up on the computer and kinda forgot about it for a few months. then for my cousin’s bday, i made her a random cd and she phoned me the next day screaming WHATS THE NAME OF THE SECOND SONG????
then i realized it was five star. so i decided to give you guys a listen and that was when my big lns phase began hahah. i KILLED myself looking for you guys on the internet and it just never worked out… so when i found this site i FLIPPED. thanks soo much.
ps. is there any potential of you putting up more songs? cause that’d be great.
thanks for everything,
Ana =)
