Background

The CCM and EDM band formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2009, with the brothers Dominic and Tanner Gibbs, and bassist Steven Piske as the core of the group. Drummer Alex Klingenberg was also an early part of the band. The band released two Alternative Rock EPs, Shh... Just Listen in 2009, and A Whole New Direction in 2010. Ben Pepin also joined the band in 2011. Shortly after this, Klingenberg left the band and was replaced by Zach Wilke, and the band followed up their previous EP with 2013's Let's Make it Loud with a noticeably more pop induced feel. Following this, Priske and Wilke simultaneously left the group, the latter of which was replaced with drummer Joey McGuire. Loftland soon after signed to Dream Records and released their first, and as of yet, only studio album, I Don't Want to Dance. Pepin left the group in 2015, and Dominic's wife, Madeline "Maddie" Gibbs, joined the group.
Loftland disbanded in 2016, with Dominic and Madeline focusing on another musical project called Tennies.
