Last Man Down

Contrasting their blatant power with simple yet earthquake style beats,

and their loud yet educated glass shattering northern mouths, Last Man

Down take you on a cross-country drive through personal triumph, broken

down towns and broken down hearts with their beautifully uncompromising

hand crafted masterpieces.



The Cheshire based four-piece consists of Mike (Vocals/Guitar), the

brothers: Alex (Vocals/Bass) and Ash (Vocals/Drums), and Matt

(Vocals/Guitar). Mike, Alex, and Ash had been close friends for years,

making music together in an old bust up church they converted in to the

LMD head quarters, eventually drafting in Matt 'The Glasses' Martin from

the nearby town of Stoke-on-Trent to finalise the LMD army. These

tunnel-visioned troopers have spent the last two years breaking their

backs and their bank balances out on the road, developing their own

sound like a rubber ball bouncing between rock, punk and beats, and

building a well deserved reputation as a hard-working band.



Debut single, "Killing Time" is totally guaranteed to keep people nailed

to the wall with its escapist wailing, managing to separate the masses

and then bring them back together, like a drink down the pub after a

fight at a wedding. With its infectious beats courtesy of Ash Rowe, and

tuning fork bending vocals from Mike Richardson, "Killing Time" tells

the tale of hometown grey - a cocktail of contempt, passion, sorrow, and

empathy. Lyrics hit the jugular of today's lost generation, "What's it

like to run in circles? / What's it like to feel worthless?", until the

saga closes with the "runaway" screams of Matt, echoing thoughts of a

young protagonist, before the screams are silenced.



There's something different about the sound of this band, though the pop

sensibilities of songs like "Just Stay Home" become obviously apparent,

with a chorus you'll be singing for weeks, forged with the gravely yet

consumable voice of co-frontman Alex, there's a little something extra

that manages to arrest the ears and hold you captive. Drawing influences

from so many different genres has left Last Man Down very difficult to

categorise - 'one of the few bands that sound like no one else, just

hanging out with somebody else, but they don't get on very well!'



Debut single, "Killing Time" is available from Itunes on Karate Kid Records.
