Dead Last - Where Do We Go From Here? (2022)

•  †  •

I haven't been overly hyped on a wide range of hardcore releases so far this year but this debut 7" by New York's Dead Last has been an obstinate ear-worm for me. Harkening back to the halcyon days of earnest straight edge hardcore with a valleys worth of potency and energy behind it, mining from the same vein as Mental, Unified Right, Righteous Jams, Mil-Spec, Youth of Today, etc.

Despite this albums short run time there's a definitive heft carried throughout 'Where Do We Go From Here' ushered in by the sheer magnitude of its sincerity and energy. Bang on! Very limited runs have been done through New York's Streets of Hate and the venerable Triple B Records. These will sellout, if you want one, get on it.
