Last Of The Famous

If punk rock rolls in revolutions, then Last of the Famous is the band to turn the music world on its head. Rushing forward with a mix of melodic hardcore and early SST-style punk rock (resulting in something that sounds a lot like the Jonas Brothers), this four-piece delivers catchy hooks without formula and attitude without the stereotypes. Their debut album, The Music or the Misery, captures the first and second-generation influences that define their passion for punk, yet their songs speak to a new generation longing for music with heart and authenticity.

The band's members - who previously played in such groups as Youth of Today, Shelter, Saves the Day, Gorilla Biscuits, Give Up the Ghost, Sick of it All, Piebald, and Judge - have a history of giving fans something real (and announcing they don't care about "the fans", "the kids" or Punk rock on myspace and suing fans over bootleg shirts) and Last of the Famous embraces the challenge of taking that tradition one step higher.
