Chapter 38 - ”Lanterns”-Drew of The Last Years

  Tonight, Drew (of the incredible The Last Years) and I deconstruct the emotional journey of "The After", their latest record. We discuss the loss and pain that has informed it's lyrical core, the bands and albums that helped inform the musicianship, and the beauty that nestles within its darkest corners.

  We discus our mutual love of groups as disparate as The Cure and Faith No More, The Smiths and The Dillinger Escape Plan, AFI and The Call. We name check our love of our contemporaries like Lesser Care, Old Moon, Soft Kill, Catholic School, and Vali SC.

  We also geek out over 90s Hardcore, Shoegaze, Synthwave, Ska, and tell tales out of school about famous people we've loved and Loathed.

Check out The Last Years at Bandcamp, streaming all platforms, and on Instagram/Facebook.
