The Lonely Ones
Feb 20, 2023

Formed in the summer of 2019, The Lonely Ones are a four piece consisting of three members of Bobaflex- Marty McCoy on guitar/vocals, Tommy Johnson on drums, and Jymmy Tolland on guitar/vocals-along with Tru Payne Roberts on bass/vocals. They released their first two singles independently in March of 2020; with the titles “Eternal Sadness" and "The Lonely One."
A few months after their initial introduction to the world of rock, the band decided to take a major leap of faith and release their re-imagined version of Queen's classic song "Flash." Brian May from Queen said “What a fantastic cover! I didn’t realize they were going to go into The Hero and the whole reprise ... magnificent!"
In September of 2020, The Lonely Ones released another brand new single titled "Real Big Trouble." What started out as a fun and creative session quickly turned out to be one of their most rewarding. By February of 2021, the band had signed on with Imagen Records and released another single called “Change the Station.” The next release through Imagen was "Dyin' All Night Long" in June of 2021. A song about an abusive relationship and how often times excuses are made over and over for that person. The lyrics come from the perspective of a victim having had enough of it.
The band released two more singles titled "Gettin' High" (2021) and “The Way Out” (2022) via Imagen Records before ultimately going independent. The band spent the summer of 2022 getting back to the grind and writing new songs, including "Bedroom Door" in October of 2022, and their new single "Gucci Bags" which includes the B-side "Time Bomb."
