The First Call For Last Fall




Las Vegas, NV punk rock band Last Call have announced a November 27 release date for their long-awaited debut LP, Dog Years, which will be the first official release on Broken Arrow Collective, the newly launched organization co-founded by the band and other friends. Dog Years was produced, engineered, mixed & mastered by Paul Miner (New Found Glory, Fireworks, Thrice, Death By Stereo) at Buzzbomb Sound Labs in Orange , CA between March and November 2012.

 A new track titled “Bones” is premiering on PunksInVegas.com and can be heard here.

Last Call has spent the last year a bit quieter than usual. With the release of "Stay On The Outside" in summer 2011, the band spent the remainder of the year touring the country in its support. Building a steady buzz and momentum, the band eagerly began recording their debut full length with friend & producer Paul Miner in March 2012. Shortly after beginning the record, the band split from Mightier Than Sword Records, throwing an unexpected wrench into the entire process, and prolonging the record's release.

On November 27, the band will be releasing their debut full length Dog Years digitally and on CD in the United States . The record will be the first official release from the Broken Arrow Collective, an organization of sorts including members of Last Call and friends who aim is to promote equality and spread awareness by way of music. Dog Years will also be available on cassette from the band’s friends at Immunity Tape Co.

Drummer Adam Blasco explains, "This record is about everything that we've been dealing with over the last couple of years, both individually and as a band. We've always written songs for ourselves, but this record is the one that we want to reach as many people as possible. It's definitely the most emotionally involved record that we've put out, and we're singing about things that have never found a way out of us until now. It's an amazing feeling. If one person finds a message in these songs that touches them emotionally, we've accomplished our goals. The Broken Arrow Collective is something that has been on my mind for about the last year or so. This record means a fucking lot to me and the rest of these dudes involved, so this is the perfect time to make this idea a real tangible thing. We're very proud of everything we've created, and couldn't be more psyched to finally share it with everyone."

Last Call will be announcing a December record release show in their hometown which will be followed by a few tour dates on the west coast. Early 2013 will bring a nationwide tour as well as a UK/European release of the LP via City Of Gold Records .

Early In The Morning by James Vincent McMorrow (2010) (Review)

  I've  decided to create a new genre. I call it “beardcore”. Scene heads generally make confessional folk music recorded alone in some isolated building (cabin, hut, beach house etc.) with only acoustic guitars, banjos and whatnot for company. Oh, and they have beards. Now you may think to yourself, ‘This will never take off! How silly of her!’ and, given most of my genre creating, you’d be right (Oberstcore never did take off…), but this scene is not just existing, but is currently thriving. The newest beardcore artist is James Vincent McMorrow’. Joining Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes in the genre, McMorrow hails from the not so green isle of Ireland and is making waves with his debut album Early In The Morning , eleven tracks of atmospheric indie-folk with intelligent musicianship, and more intelligent lyrics. The album starts off with “If I Had A Boat” an initially a capella, atmospheric grower. Starting off quietly, it eases the listener into the record with McMorrow...

Track-By-Track: Forest Life EP by McCafferty

McCafferty 's recent EP, Forest Life, is one of The Alternative Tone's favourite releases so far this year. I caught up with Nick to get a track-by-track on the EP, in order to give us more insight into McCafferty's fabulous imagery and lyrical themes.  Jeff    There was a girl I was friends with in high school named Becky and she was in a relationship with this guy from freshman year until last summer, when their relationship fell apart she told me it happened really fast, that's why the song is so short. I wanted to explore the aspect of a relationship with so much feeling that just ends abruptly and the emptiness that you feel after. I've had people message me and say they wish Jeff was longer, but that's the exact reason I made it so short.  Snakes  I wrote "Snakes" with the mindset of making a song that sort of pokes fun at all these dogs out there in the DIY scene about smoking and partying, it's really simplistic in the lyrics b...
