The place of all knowledge Loki

Philosophy driven by evolution and fueled by diversity; with fierce yet melodic guitar riffs, bone shaking rhythms, and insightful lyrics, Loki brings a unique hard rock style to the table that embraces a resemblance to such bands as Incubus, Taproot, and Breaking Benjamin.

Based in the rising musical hub of Portland, Maine, Loki was formed by Jon Taylor and Jonathan Boyer in the year 2000 at the University of Southern Maine. In 2001 Loki recorded their debut EP "Finity”, receiving acclaim from fans and musicians alike. Loki had found their direction, a brand of hard rock with unrivaled intensity that truly connects with it’s listeners. This direction resulted in both 2002's debut full length "Born" and 2004's "Firelight" LP's.

Named after the Norse God of mischief & change, Loki has continually found themselves in a flow of challenge and perseverance, allowing them to outlive many other musical acts. With the additions of Adam Nichols (drums) and Seth McClellan (bass) Loki established their strongest lineup to date, and recorded 2008’s “No Disclaimers” EP. Receiving support from both of Maine’s major rock/alternative radio stations, 105.1 FM WTOS and 94.3 FM WCYY, Loki has an ever growing loyal fan base, and has awoken a fire within their technical and passionate performances. Loki throws a stick in the spokes of modern rock today!
