Are you looking for some brand new totally rocking music to add to your playlist? Then look no further than Last Chance! With hard-hitting lyrics and hard-rocking music, they’re sure to excite anyone who gives them a listen. Here with their self-titled debut album, they bring a punk-inspired sound that is backed up with years and years of crafted ability, putting everything they have into a 10-track album that gets the blood pumping. Music of the highest quality and lyrics to match, this is an album that you cannot afford to miss!
The album boots the doors off in style with the opening track, ‘Light the Fire’. A track with high energy, showcasing only the best bouncy, punchy riffs that along with the hard-hitting drums from Cannata get the track off a great start. Not long after, we’re introduced to Frankie Rage, the lead singer who masterfully delivers a vocal and lyrical performance that is as striking as it is good. By no means a slow introduction, it already promises to be an album that you’ll want to hear again.
After the first track started off the album so well, the second track ‘Sick of it All’ promised to show the same quality as the initial track, and it did just that. A track with lyrics that tell a story of life through the Covid pandemic, demonstrating a storytelling ability in their lyrics, while also maintaining the same high quality music we were introduced to at the very start. Frankie Rage’s vocals, just as the last time, were spot on for what the song required, just as was the immense guitar solo by Dave Baron. Everything in both tracks come together brilliantly, getting ‘Last Chance’ off to a great start as an album.
Moving through the rest of the album, it’s clear that their sound is as consistent as it is good. Drums that blow the lid off, guitar riffs and solos that are the definition of rocking out, with vocals and lyrics that fit in each track, with a bass to keep it all together. Tracks such as ‘Don’t Wanna Be Your Man’ and ‘Kamikaze’ showcase the same qualities, with each part playing their part brilliantly just as they did at the start. The whole album is a demonstration of not just clear musical talent, but of a lyrical versatility that really does set them apart from the rest. Music that feels like an anger ballad, will seamlessly be followed up by tracks that sing on personal, heartfelt experiences, but with the same hard-rocking feel. Baron on guitars, Cannata on drums, Phillips on bass and Rage on vocals all perform brilliantly, adding to each other as they all show off their own individual talent that is undeniable by the end of ‘Last Chance’.
Overall, ‘Last Chance’ is an album that showcases some of the best examples of songwriting and vocals. The subject of the songs change, showcasing brilliant versatility, while keeping the same rock approach that feels new every single time. It has a sharp edge in its music and lyrics that is present throughout, and is one of the main reasons to keep listening track after track – the solos, the sharpness of lyrics, the drums, all combine to make an album that is worth anyone’s time.
