They no longer perform as Lo-Tel; however, two past members continue to produce music. History In 1998, Lo-Tel were initially a trio of Luke Hanigan (singer and guitarist), Dave Lumsdaine (bass), and Darren Brollo (drums), recording tracks in Hanigan's home studio. This led to their first shows, and, with the help of John O'Donnell, they were signed to Epic Records in 1999. Hanigan said, "It was almost like we tripped and wound up with a record contract; it was so ridiculously speedy." In April 1999, Lo-Tel recorded their debut album '' Planet of the Stereos''. Hanigan said, "We spent five weeks making it, and then six months getting it remixed by various Americans." Their first single, "Genre Casting", was released in early 2000 on vinyl only.

Planet Of The Stereos
''Planet of the Stereos'' is the debut studio album released by Australian band Lo-Tel. The album was released in October 2000 and peaked at number 41 on the ARIA Charts. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2001, the album was nominated for the ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist – Album; losing out to ''Since I Left You'' by The Avalanches. Reception Johnny Loftus from AllMusic said "Lo-Tel sounds at varying times like Vertical Horizon covering Seether, or vice versa. Opener 'A Pop Song Saved My Life' is a crunchy mid-tempo rocker jazzed up with wee-oo wee-oo synths, while the single 'Teenager of the Year' opts for a thicker post-grunge sound. Those whizzy keys return for 'Genre Casting', and 'Same...' is hooky enough to make an impression beyond its slick layers of electronics and electric guitar." adding "...Fans of mature, well-crafted alt rock with a slick pop edge should pick up a copy, and impress friends who only have Goo Goo Dolls The Goo Goo Dolls are an American roc ...
