Las Vegas’ own Last Call has had a hell of a year. They abruptly parted ways with Mightier Than Sword Records in March while they were in the middle of recording their debut full-length. News about the band has come at a slow trickle since then, and many fans began to wonder if we’d ever get to hear the new tunes they’d been working on. We’re happy to report that the wait is nearly over. Last Call’s full-length, Dog Years, will be released November 27.
According to Last Call drummer Adam Blasco, “[Dog Years] is about everything that we’ve been dealing with over the last couple of years, both individually and as a band. We’ve always written songs for ourselves, but this record is the one that we want to reach as many people as possible. It’s definitely the most emotionally involved record that we’ve put out, and we’re singing about things that have never found a way out of us until now. It’s an amazing feeling. If one person finds a message in these songs that touches them emotionally, we’ve accomplished our goals.”
This record also marks the first official release from the Broken Arrow Collective, an organization including members of Last Call and friends of theirs who aim is to promote equality and spread awareness through music. According to Blasco, “The Broken Arrow Collective is something that has been on my mind for about the last year or so. This record means a fucking lot to me and the rest of these dudes involved, so this is the perfect time to make this idea a real tangible thing. We’re very proud of everything we’ve created, and couldn’t be more psyched to finally share it with everyone.”
Word is that Last Call will soon be announcing the date for a December hometown record release show, followed by a few tour dates on the west coast. Early 2013 will bring a nationwide tour as well as a UK/European release of the LP via City Of Gold Records.
Can’t wait for the Nov. 27 release of Dog Years? We’ve got an exclusive stream of the record’s “Bones” right here.
