Interview: Last Call
Posted on AlterThePress.com on Monday July 11th 2011.
On August 2nd, Las Vegas-based pop-punk band Last Call will release their new EP, ‘Stay on the Outside’ through Mightier Than Sword Records. The EP is the follow up to last year’s ‘12:57’ EP and sees the quartet working with producer Paul Miner (New Found Glory, H2O and Fireworks) again. With comparisons to Saves The Day, The Swellers and Dillenger Four, Last Call’s style is one that is tight and thrives on the bands DIY punk rock ethics.
Alter The Press! recently spoke to drummer Adam Blasco and vocalist Austin Jeffers about the new EP, joining MTS Records, where they stand as a pop-punk band and more.
Alter The Press: Could you tell us your name and role in Last Call?
Last Call: My name is Adam Blasco. I play drums. Pacing ceaselessly next to me is Austin Jeffers, who sings in Last Call.
ATP: To begin with tell us what the new EP is about and what fans can expect?
Last Call: The whole idea behind ‘Stay On The Outside’ came from the concept of our song ‘Disconnected’. It was one of the first songs we wrote after releasing 12:57, and like everyone, we each had our shit that we were dealing with at the time. Basically, the idea is that no matter who’s surrounding you, what you’re doing, or what you’re going through physically, mentally or emotionally, sometimes you just feel alone. On the other hand, sometimes you’re completely overwhelmed with everything and need to be alone for a while, which is pretty hard with how the world is these days. Sometimes you need to disconnect from everything, and get yourself right before anything else.
