From FatWreckWikiWho Are The Loved Ones?In 2003 after leaving the band Paint It Black, Dave Hause decided to form a new group. He recruited former Kid Dynamite bassist Michael Cotterman, and drummer Mike Sneeringer from Trial by Fire, who together formed The Loved Ones. The band's first release was a self-released four-song demo in 2004. The following year, they released an EP, The Loved Ones, on Chunksaah Records. While Hause was working as a roadie for The Bouncing Souls, the band was given the oppurtunity to do a tour with The Bouncing Souls, and would also tour with NOFX. Impressed by the band NOFX frontman Fat Mike signed them to his label Fat Wreck Chords. Fat Wreck released the bands debut album Keep Your Heart in 2006. In December 2006, a posting on the band's MySpace page announced that Cotterman had left the band. He was replaced by Chris Gonzalez and they also added second guitarist David Walsh. They were both formerly members of The Explosion, who had announced their split up near the time Cotterman left. The band released their second full length album Build & Burn on February 5, 2008. The album was produced by Pete Steinkopf and Bryan Kienlen of the Bouncing Souls.
