I've first heard Last Chance few years ago in their brilliant split with their countryman from Thumbscrew where each band was presented with 5 songs. 

As I'm a huge fan of the well-played and melodic skinhead rock'n'roll I was looking forward for a full album from this promising band from Spain. So, what can I say... they haven't disappointed me at all! 

This debut album is a big step forward for the band. The sound is more "matured" and professional, the lyrics have more variety of topics and even some personal matters like nostalgy and getting old are on the bill.

All the lyrics are in English, which in my eyes is a huge advantage for a band from Spain. Although I love the native language, it's a bit hard to understand the core meaning of the lyrics beside my knowledge of 100+words in Spanish. I would be happy more bands have songs in English.

For the "trained ear" of a music lover and audiophile the synchronic work of both lead and rhythm guitar is a guarantee for a professional work and enjoyment! 

The album was recorded between Spain, Portugal and USA in the summer of last year. My credits goes to Sergio for providing me with the copy of the album. This man is one of the main "motors" behind the Spanish scene in the last years, he's involed in multiple bands and you can find the very interesting interview I did with him in 2023 HERE.

The CD comes in a two-panel digipack as a co-production between Askania and OldSchool Records. A nice designed booklet with all the lyrics is included as well. To sum it up- a top notch album which will be a great addition to your collection!
