ALWAYS LAST demo reviewed in Razorcake.org

our self-titled demo was reviewed and featured in Razorcake official website, along with our friends Cock Say Cock Dung and Dum Dum Tak. It was all reviewed by Jimmy Alvarado. Here's what he had to say about it:

"Wow, Malaysian pop punk. Something you don’t run into every day. Good stuff from a band that sounds close to what I imagine Me First And The Gimme Gimmes would sound like if they played originals." - Jimmy Alvarado

Apis (Carbon 4 Teen) reviews Always Last

We would like to share with you the looong review of our self-titled demo, by our friend Apis from Carbon 4 Teen. This is stolen from his personal blog. Thanks Apis, and sorry that it is written in Bahasa Malaysia.

"Kali ini aku telah memberanikan diri untuk membuat ulasan tentang satu rilisan oleh sebuah band punk rock dari keluarga Nervhous Re-chords iaitu ALWAYS LAST!

CD ini aku beli dengan harga RM3.00 semasa berlangsungnya jamming session oleh beberapa band Punk Rock disitu. Kenapa murah? owh... hasil photostat hitam putih. ok lah tu. Mula-mula Aku macam malas nak beli kalau tak kenal sebab dari segi fizikal produk ini, aku hanya mampu memberi mereka 2 bintang dari keselurahan 5 bintang. Oleh sebab band ni bermainkan muzik Punk Rock dan aku kenal beberapa barisan anggota Always Last, so aku seluk seluar jeans aku. Nasib baik ada baki selepas aku guna Tol Akleh untuk datang ke Ampang. Ini lah perangai sebenar aku kalau nak beli sesuatu produk.

Dalam CD ini pula mengandungi 5 tracks iaitu The Intro, Theoritically Rhetoric is Pathetic, The Best Practices, Kalau Aku... Pak Lah dan Partial.

1. The Intro (2:03)
First sekali dah tentu aku nak dengar kualiti gelombang bunyi yang muncul dari hasil gabungan instrument yang mereka mainkan. Oh.. ini... Jap! Always Last telah meyakinkan aku dengan pepatah dont judge a book by its cover. Memang baik! Anda akan rasa seperti anda telah tersalah memasukkan Audio CD ke CD ROM laptop anda. Hasil CD yang di'burn' mungkin pakai software Nero atau Windows Media Player atau apa-apa sahaja ini telah menghasilkan gelombang bunyi yang padu dan jelas. Setiap pukulan drum, petikan gitar dan bass masuk sebiji demi sebiji ke corong telinga aku melalui headphone Panasonic milik aku. Aku mula terbayangkan intro (glass war) oleh NOFX dalam album They've actually gotten worst live! Always Last bukan sama macam NOFX atau Bad Religion, tapi ntah..kenapa aku terbayangkan mereka. kualiti sound ke? ish... jangan samakan NOFX atau Bad Religion dengan band punk rock lain. boleh kena marah dengan peminat Punk Rock dunia. macam apa ar? macam.. hah ok! ini band Punk Rock!

2. Theoritically Rhetoric is Pathetic (2:27)
Aku mula melebarkan senyuman.. tak sah lagi! Always Last bukan calang-calang band. Mereka berjaya keluar dari 'kepompong' punk rock seperti yang anda biasa dengar. Octave yang melekat namun ada sedikit cacat sebanyak 1% di minor solo mereka. itu pun kalau anda mengulang part tersebut 4 - 5 kali baru anda perasan. Namun ia tidak mencacatkan kesuluruhan lagu ini.

3. The Best Practices (1:41)
Pukulan drum pantas dan disertakan dengan tenaga yang konstan! Kehebatan drumer mereka tidak dapat disangkal. Tempo juga dikawal dengan baik. aku menjadi begitu teruja sehingga lagu ini tamat. fuhh...

4. Kalau Aku.. Pak Lah (2:43)
Copy dan Paste ulasan diatas.... tambah pula ini, mesej yang berani walaupun isu ini sudah lapuk. tapi semasa lagu ini dicipta, isu ini masih belum lapuk. Sarcasm dan Best!

5. Partial (6:16)
Always Last tidak perlu memberitahu yang lagu ini adalah killer song mereka. tapi pada aku, lagu ini memang boleh membunuh! Tidak keterlaluan untuk aku mencadangkan kepada punkrockers semua untuk meletakkan lagu ini sebagai favorite dalam list anda. Anda tidak perlu menunggu chorus untuk sing-a-long kerana keseluruhan lagu ini adalah untuk sing-a-long! kecuali part "rainboys is fuckin homophobs" korang kena nyanyi kuat sikit. hehe.. Alunan bass pada penghujung lagu amat menarik. penghujung? bukan 6 minit lebih ke? pelik kenapa 6 minit lebih? owh... ada bonus tersembunyi di minit 3:04! Dimulakan dengan bunyi orang bertepuk tangan dalam rentak yang ceria. hahaha... ini adalah lagu unpluged versi spontan yang terancang. memang kreatif!

Kesimpulan : Bagus! Korang tak akan menyesal membayar rm3.00 kerana ianya sudah lebih dari berbaloi. Sorry lah kasi korang 2 bintang pada mulanya. tapi itu lah persepsi orang terhadap fizikal produk ini. Takper, kita bukan makan kulit kacang pun kan? isi itu yang kita nak. Itu sahajalah pandangan aku terhadap rilisan Always Last kali ini. Aku juga tak sabar untuk membuat ulasan terhadap rilisan mereka akan datang.

Bye..."

ALWAYS LAST plays at tribute to HI-STANDARD!


We are paying tribute to our favourite punk rock/pop-punk band from the land of rising sun (it's Japan, duh!) the infamous Hi-Standard. We are playing Sunny Day (off their first album Growing Up) and also Starry Night (off their final album Making The Road).

We are eager to see how other bands will be doing their version of Hi-Standard songs, especially Daighila, Partimelovers and also Zeue because their original sounds are not the type band that plays melodic punk rock/skatepunk or anything like that!
