Loomis
 
Loomis is the reckless and impetuous son of Chicago rock; he boasts a hard-edged and resilient sound, a dramatic voice, and an almost impossible to ignore charm. Born from the multifarious musical abilities and influences of his members, Loomis' sound is grinding and complex, with pop-infused hooks blending with driving rhythms for an intelligent, and yet accessible sound. Composed of singer/guitarist Tom Valenzano, bassist Jay Lysaught, and drummer Alex Karan, Loomis has developed an intense and enveloping style that brings lyrical significance and technical aptitude to a time when popular music suffers from the cookie-cutter syndrome of the major-label sound factories.

Loomis' first full length release is entitled "Heavy Balloons Are Laughing At Us." It is a 13-song LP produced by Mike Hagler (Wilco, Neko Case, Mark Eitzel) and was released independently in June 2003.
