Along with their neighbours Finland; Sweden are quite a well known breeding ground for bands, particularly on the heavier side of the music spectrum. The latest one to step out into the open are Gothenburg based THE LAST BAND with their latest release ‘The Fall’ and to say it will turn a few heads is an understatement.
The album itself is an assortment of interesting melodies with huge guitar riffs and thunderous beats; the vocal work within the melodies is at first a little bit tricky to listen to and get your head around. However, when the album progresses it starts to sink into the mind and you actually find that it suits the musical arrangements. This can be heard in tracks such as ‘Move’, ‘Pretty Boys’ and ‘Pulled A Lot Of Shit’.
