Hunter Benson – Last to Know
“Last to Know” begins with an outburst of vintage hard rock adrenaline that recalls the high-voltage sound of Airbourne and AC/DC. The introduction gives an overload of raw, direct rock ‘n’ roll attitude.As the track evolves, other influences emerge, mainly from the 1990s grunge culture, which adds depth and complexities to the overall sound. The vocals develop a balance between melody and authenticity, with a storytelling aspect that sometimes reminds Rhett Forrester’s roughness during his Riot era. The production is excellent and well-balanced, emphasising the band’s macho, vibrant mood beyond technical sophistication. This approach emphasises the song’s straightforward, simple-minded rock sound. Overall, “Last to Know” is a powerful, groove-driven single that respects classic rock spirit with a rough modern vibe, a must for fans who enjoy honest, powerful rock ‘n’ roll.
