London Tonight And Brighton Later French Rock Icons Last Train Will Perform New Single One By One

Last Train 

One By One 

Lyon 

 

They’re on stage tonight at London’s The Grace, and again on the 16th at The Great Escape in Brighton. Lyon’s Last Train offer a heavy sound that could easily compete with one of those loud engines rumbling by. They’ve been around since before 2010, when the French fourpiece embarked on a continuation of their hard rock and intellectual genre. Having toured with groups such as Placebo and Muse, Last Train have just released their latest album III. The new single is One by One, and like the rest of the record, was recorded in a spooky, crumbling chateaux. The venue offers an ideal setting for their noisy and electric sound, putting space and architecture together in production and practice. Enjoy. 

 

Thumping drums with cracking snare begin to hammer out the shape of the song, the rhythm manifests across rolling toms and bass kick. Vocals begin, a voice that feels at home next door to the Smashing Pumpkins or even Alice In Chains reaches out and shows us what the band are all about. Guitars and bass then add the final layer to the mixture, vibration and distortion work together with feedback framed harmonies and licks that sail alongside the solo voice that carries the weight of a choir. It’s more than heavy rock, it’s a kind of post-grunge for the international stage. Get the album in.
