Just been digging this kickass EP from a sleaze band from the USA! Yeah.... I know. From North Carolina.

 

Here's their ReverbNation page where you can play all their songs.

Bio

 

Last Call Messiahs (Raleigh, NC)

 

All original American hard rock band with plenty of sleazy swagger and bourbon soaked adrenaline to have you banging on the dashboard and screaming along at the top of your lungs. This is venomous, anthemic rock n' roll to raise your glass to..180% proof that the dream never dies.

 

Former Smashed Alley singer/guitarist Chris Clark brings his raspy, Sunset Strip voice front and center, writing hook- laden songs with multi-talented bassist Steve Blasko (Automag, Rebel Son, Mostley Crue), hard hitting, dynamic drummer Chuck Tipton (The Fifth, American Zero) and high voltage powerhouse lead guitarist Jeff Young (Thunderstruck).

 

Last year the band released their debut self-titled 4 song EP, which flawlessly showcases their collaborative hard rock and sleaze metal influences while at the same time crafting a sound that is truly original. Recorded at Adelaide Studios in Raleigh, NC with Revival Entertainment Group and produced and engineered by Neil Engle (Alesana, Funeral Portrait), the songs burst to life from the moment you press play. The EP landed in Sleazeroxx.com's Top 10 of 2014 alongside Kix and Steel Panther.

 

Lead off track "Sinner's Swing" slams out of the gate with a sinuous, snake dance rhythm provided by Chuck Tipton, a huge sing-along chorus and a fiery solo from Jeff Young. "City of Trash" carries on in the same fist pumping, almost punk infused vein with Chris Clark's snarling pre-chorus of "don't wanna die in the city, no more murder on the Eatside". The sultry and brilliantly moody "Hollywood & Vine", written by Stephen Blasko, begins with atmospheric tremolo guitar reminiscent of a Tarantino soundtrack and quickly picks up steam in the hard rocking chorus of "i see you walkin, every inch of you divine / i pull up next to you on Hollywood and Vine. The EP finishes with the epic and anthemic "Last Call Messiah"- a full assault of harmony guitar leads, break neck stops and riffs carved out of thick, mountainous Marshall tones.

No doubt the band will draw comparisons to the likes of Guns N Roses, Faster Pussycat, LA Guns, and contemporaries like Hardcore Superstar and Charm City Devils. On record and live, Last Call Messiahs are a hungry, talented, energetic force of nature ready to deliver real rock upon an unsuspecting world.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
