[1] The group recruited fellow Texas musician Charles Lee Salvaggio on bass, as well as former The Feds drummer Glendon Crain.

The name Loser came about as a reaction to John 5's past: I was from Grosse Pointe, Michigan, which is kind of an upper-class area, and I was always that rock kid.

"[3] The band had initial success not long after signing with Island Records, when their song "Nobody Knows" was added to active rock radio nationwide and their track "Disposable Sunshine" was included on the 2005 Fantastic Four soundtrack.

[4][5] During the recording of the soundtrack, however, Crain briefly left the band and was replaced by drummer Elias Andra, a friend of Salvaggio's.

With promo material for the debut album already out and a release date in the bag, Island Records decided it didn't like the idea of Loser without John 5, and dropped the band from the label.

"[9] Since the dissolution of Loser, Joe Grah reformed his Dallas band Jibe for an album and multiple tours, and released fifteen solo singles with accompanying videos.

Charles Lee Salvaggio later went on to play bass in Filter, Theory Of A Deadman, and guitar in Gemini Syndrome and Black Sunshine, and also teamed with Joe Grah on the project I Am The Wolf.

In 2024, Joe officially joins forces with his long-time friend and collaborator Charles Lee Salvaggio to form the hard rock group Inside The Trojan Horse.

With Charles on bass and guitar, along with Red Sun Rising and The Violent drummer Pat Gerasia, the band recorded an entire album of material.
