Why LCTR?

So, why Last Chance to Reason? Why follow and write about a little old band from Augusta, Maine?

For starters, they're one of the most innovative and driven bands in Maine, and I want to be ahead of their inevitable success. I want people to know that there was a local band named Last Chance to Reason. When they get signed to a label, I want people to know that, unlike Nobis and Dead Season, two overly simple and therefore easily accessible metal bands in Maine --- both of whom have been signed to labels and have some level of national distribution --- that Last Chance to Reason is extremely unique and never content to ride current trends. They are innovators, they are full of talent, and they are hell-bent on succeeding with their music.

Last Chance to Reason completed three major tours in the past year. The first went took them through New England and surrounding states, the second went as far as Pennsylvania, and the third had them on a trek down the entire east coast, even playing a few shows in Florida in the middle of sweltering July. They still weren't picked up by a label. The fact that they continue to work together, reinvent themselves, and push forward after such difficulties is one of many demonstrations of the character these four guys possess that makes me so interested to follow their progress. Good things are destined to come to Last Chance to Reason in due time, and I'll be chronicling the success when they do.
