The 1980 Listening Post - The Last Words - The Last Words

The Last Words - The Last Words 


August 1980

The Last Words

The Last Words

Genre: Garage Punk

3.75 out of 5



Highlights:

Games

The Stranger



Requisite 80s cover: A sludgy, messy version of “White Rabbit”. They don’t need it. I mean…ok. It’s there. 


Punk had to change. It really did. In the coming years bands like Bowling for Soup and Green Day and You, Me & Everyone We Know and so many others would add melodies and make it listenable. Until then, you got a lot of bashers who tried. 

This is one of those. They sound like Clash clones. But that’s good cuz the Clash were trying to put melodies on the bashing.

This is terribly produced but I get what they are going for. I like the saxophone. It gives the entire proceeding a “we don’t give a shit, this isn’t our job job” feel.
