Artist: last summer
They say misery makes an artist stand out. In the case of Last Summer, it took 3 years and a cruel wake up call to unleash enough potential to make an old (and almost forgotten) dream come true: making raw acoustic music with songs about love, fate, being lost and moving on.While being contemplated in the first months of '04, the band was not...

Artist: Last Dance
Last Dance were one of the many short-lived acts in the early 4AD stable. Their discography consisted of one lone song, the seven-minute "Malignant Love."

Artist: Last Chapter
Last Chapter's first incarnation formed in Arlington, TX, in 1989 as a trio called Brick Window. The following year, the band added second guitarist Cody Griffith and decided to change their name.

Artist: Last of the Juanitas
This three-piece math-rock-meets-alternative metal instrumental band supposedly got their name from a bottle of hot sauce. The music is heavy, sludgy, jarring, and melodic all at the same time; comparable to the Melvins colliding with Drive Like Jehu (former Jehu guitarist, Rick Fork, actually appeared on their debut album). Born circa 1998 in... [+] Read More
Artist: The Last Drop
Originating from Stoke, England, the Last Drop's alternative rock tendencies throw a stylistic monkey wrench into the whole post-stoner rock underground scene, to which, under their previous name of Shallow, they were begrudgingly affiliated with for years. Having relinquished said name in a desperate attempt to avoid such a pigeonhole,... [+] Read More
Artist: Last Touch
Not many people remember the Wendy Tunes today; even fewer remember what bassist Andy Bennie once claimed, that "we were so desperate to get a record deal that as soon as we got one, we broke up." But if they have any claim to fame, it's for spawning one half of what would become, unjustly briefly but undeniably all the same, one of the finest... [+] Read More
