Metal go getters LAST WORDS have a handful of single's out there, whilst releasing more singles soon enough. All of which plan to be released on the band's debut EP, an upcoming show, no touring plans just yet, but music is coming, and just seeing where all of this will end up! The band talks about all of this right below.
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or did it come out just like that?
It's a Knocked Loose song but it felt like the vibe of our band. We really wanted something that was a 1-2 word punch that could capture what we were about so we settled on that.
2. Why did you want to play this genre?
I've grown up on metal and hardcore and it just felt natural. The energy is such a fun way to express ourselves. We love the heavy riffs, crushing drums and distorted vocals. It makes for a very fun live set.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
Yes we actually all met in college and have played in various bands over the past 10 years or so.
4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We are based out of South Jersey but some of our members are from North Jersey. The scene used to really thrive before Covid and it took a bit of a loss afterwards. We're excited to start seeing the resurgence of the scene in the past year or two. There's a lot coming moving forward. We love Plead the Widows Cause and Pipe Bomb from our area.
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
I'm inspired by my God-given passion for music and songwriting. I'm a relatively quiet and calm person in life but music is how I fully express everything about me to the world.
6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)
I like to write about what I wrestle with in my own life and things I see happening with a biblical perspective. It's easy to just be angry and put explicatives in songs to get a reaction from the crowd. We try to push ourselves to write about deeper topics and get the message about God out in a loud way.
7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)
Yes - the song writing process usually starts with a few good riffs and then stacks on the drums and bass. We usually put the vocals on after we come up with the theme of whatever song this is going to be about.
8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We have released 3 songs "Disease", "Coward" and "Broken Idols". People can expect clean heavy music with a purpose.
9. Do you have any new music in the works?
We are planning to release an EP with a few more songs including those three later in 2025.
10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
We have an unannounced show coming in August! No tours planned at the moment but people can follow us on social media to keep up with any announcements regarding our live shows.
11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
We plan to write as much music and play as many shows as it is logistically possible for us all in the band. We're excited to see where this project takes us.
12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
We don't have anything for sale at the moment but you can listen to us on any streaming platform out there! Mainly Spotify and Apple Music.
