Last Chance is a hard rock band that consists of Frankie Rage (lead vocals), Dave Baron (guitars), Rob Phillips (bass) and Jordan Cannata (drums). Together, the band makes the sort of music that fans from the ‘70s and ‘80s will relish. Though a little on the dark side thematically, these are adrenaline rushing anthems, powered with high-energy. Filled with catchy hooks and giant choruses, with their debut self-titled release Last Chance the band consistently brings you a sound that will have old school rock n’ roll enthusiasts reeling!
Last Chance gets going with “Light The Fire,” that right from the get-go radioactive guitars meets the gamut of this track. The guitars and drums blazes to the forefront as Rage’s vocal powers reel listeners in. This definitely reminded me of classic rock music from the ‘70s and ‘80s. Right away, “Sick Of It All” struts in. Rage’s vocals are impassioned as he sings with attitude and gusto. The guitars backing him also sounded stellar. Right out of the gates comes the contagious melody for “Breakin’.” I could feel myself moving along to the pop punk sounds from the band here. Some reverberating guitars come into “Gotcha Back” at the start. Next, the drums align for a compelling vibe. Feeling very moody with bursts of blues, this was definitely an intoxicating mix from the band. To the melodic tune of guitars, “Human Eyes” is jumpstarted with a great indie rock vibe. The jaunty rhythms and ear-pleasing sounds really made this song. Up next is “Tattoo,” which starts out to a smattering of drums. The rest of the instrumentals gradually join in for a revved effect. This was another track bursting at the seams with energy. More great energy comes right out of the gates of the revving “Tough Titty.” The full-on guitars are definitely a sonic blast to the ears. The band shows you a good time with this rollicking rock n’ roll song. A wall of guitars jumpstarts the start of this track to great effect on “Anything But That.” The wave of instrumentals made for a great sound. Rage’s gritty vocals come in. He sings with verve and feeling as he belts out his vocals on this hard-hitting and heavy song. In a stop and go motion, comes the catchy and upbeat “Kamikaze.” Rage as the lead singer commandeers with his huge stage presence. He coos, screams and howls to great effect on these tracks, taking you by surprise every once in a while. The instrumentals backing him up are equally excellent as the music and vibe really takes you back to when this style was at its height of its popularity. Dynamic and compelling all at once, this is an exciting new record from the band. A great introduction to their sound, I look forward to seeing more great things from them.
