The  group\u0092s seventh full-length album, Danger!, will be released via  Austin\u0096based independent label End Sounds. Welcome to the new age of The  Last\u0097brothers Joe [vocals, guitar] and Mike Nolte [vocals, keyboard],  Bill Stevenson [drums], and Karl Alvarez [bass]. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p> However, the band never really went away. Everyone from The Bangles and  Descendents to Circle Jerks and Black Flag counts The Last amongst its  influences. They pioneered a distinctly catchy yet raw and powerful  sound that\u0092s permeated every facet of rock and roll. With a seminal  catalog on labels like SST and Bomp! Records, with releases L.A.  Explosion! [1979], Look Again [1980], Painting Smiles on a Dead Man  [1985], Confession [1988], Awakening [1989], and Gin &amp; Innuendoes  [1996], they\u0092re continuing to build their formidable legacy now with End  Sounds.<\/p>\n<p> Still, they\u0092re pushing the envelope. The new incarnation of The Last  includes members of Black Flag, FLAG, Descendents, and ALL and will once  again be playing shows. Additions include the production and drum  talents of Stevenson (listed #25 on Spin\u0092s Top 100 Alternative Drummers  and producer of albums by Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, NOFX, and  Lemonheads), and the raw power of Alvarez. The Last has a new,   impeccable and impenetrable rhythm section and groove to the music.<\/p>\n<p> Label president Jonathan Gill comments, \u0093Punk, in general, owes quite a  great deal to The Last, as we hope you\u0092ll find out. When Joe Nolte and  Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Descendents, ALL) asked if End Sounds would  like to release their next record, it felt like a circle being  completed. We\u0092re all very excited. They keep progressing, and we hope  you hear that with the new songs. Get ready for some snarl and melody.\u0094<\/p>\n<p> The Last are back and have already scheduled a full band performance on  Sunday, November 3, at The Fest in Gainesville, FL.  Stay tuned for  album details and more tour dates to be announced soon.<\/p>\n<p>Source: http:\/\/www.endsounds.com\/home\/<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After seventeen years, iconic Los Angeles punk rock band The Last will make its long-awaited&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3602\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
