Last Calls

Born in Finland, 2007. The Last Calls' music is it's own distinct venom. They have injected indie punkrock with doses of jazz and hypnotic blues and a dash of feverish flamenco and country music. The music is presented in a dreamy, cinematic way and the lyrics are poetic tales from the darkness of lonely, smoky rooms when the hours are late and rough.
- Originally formed as a side project by a couple of friends who shared the same view about a band they'd like to hear. After hundreds of shows of distortion and feedback with their bands of that time, they realized it was the time for something else. They gathered local musician friends around them, who had been playing and performing in various rock n'roll, pop, rockabilly, triphop, flamenco, hardcore and punk bands and decided to give it a try together.



- Soon they realized that this would be more than a just a part-time side project. From the very first rehearsals, the band had a point and purpose, so they started making plans for their future.
- In the spring of 2007 the band recorded three songs for their first promo release. Around the same time, the group started playing their first public appearances around the country. The promo CD contains the very first songs they wrote, the ballad "Irene", and the countryish nightmare of love gone bad in "Bad Luck Charm" and the Latin-style lovesong "Maria's Arms."
- The first European tour took place from 11th – 19th of April 2008.
- In September 2008 the group recorded the song "Dead July" for film director Arttu Haglunds movie "Ihmisiä Tiellä - Hit The Road" - (Starring Tommi Korpela). The movie was released in February 2009
.
In 2010 the band signed a deal with an independent Finnish record company and a reissue label Svart Records.
Svart concentrates mostly on releasing vinyl LP versions of albums previously unavailable on vinyl. In November 2010 Svart Records released 12 inch vinyl of Last Calls early recordings. In 2011 - the band kept touring to promote the release.
- At live shows, they have been performing their own material and also cover songs from new wave/punk artists, such as Killing Joke, The Gun Club and Agent Orange. Always with a twist of something of their own.
- If you can relate to Slavic melancholy, American blues, Latin heartbeat with punk attitude you cannot go wrong with the Last Calls.
