Welcome back to the Dying Scene Band Spotlight! It’s been a while, but we’re finally back with another great band for you to check out. The latest band to find themselves standing in our spotlight is The Last Mile. This Montreal punk band’s sound marries the speed and melodicism of East Bay mainstays like Samiam and J Church with the gritty, rumbling basslines of Midwest punk bands such as Banner Pilot.

Their latest album Respect the Frequency – released in October, 2021 through Rad Girlfriend Records – recently celebrated its first birthday! Hopefully my persistent name dropping of revered punk bands and liberal use of buzzwords has convinced you to check it out.

Give the record a listen below and grab it on beautiful colored vinyl here.

Gold Hoax work the graveyard shift on new single ‘Fortune Teller’

<p>According to their new song “Fortune Teller,” Gold Hoax know a thing or two about having one foot in the grave. Vocalist and guitarist Nico Rivers has been there many times as a teenager, escorting folks to their final resting places as other kids simply pocketed spare cash flipping burgers or hawking predatory credit cards. But those summer jobs don’t have the same lyrical potential, do they? The Boston band’s spiraling rock single (released last Friday, October 28) works the […]</p>

This Show Is Tonight: Sasha and the Valentines bring ‘Witches’ to Allston

<p>In the early part of 2021, Sasha and the Valentines cast a hypnotic spell on us with “Witches.” It was a ghostly track rife with new-retro cool, a dream-pop lounge act for the emotional daydreamers and mental shapeshifters that, alongside follow-up “Don’t You Love Me”, would eventually appear on the Austin band’s spring debut album So You Think You Found Love? Fast forward a thousand years later, and Sasha and the Valentines, who formed a few years back at the […]</p>
