All in all, this is a strong band whose mix of elements results in songs that are ripe for film/TV placements, maybe even car commercials.

A dark, bluesy undercurrent flows through every song by Last Planet, whose “Whiskey Breath” teems with gritty, distorted guitar riffs as female vocalist Rai intones “Chase me, replace me!” We can’t praise the production quality enough, as it infuses each track with deep, reverbed aura. A male vocalist takes the mic on the nightmarish “Straight Jacket,” which is distinctive for its horns and a bit of rap in the verse.  And we gotta praise its dazzling guitar solos, too. Next, a Southern blues-rock vibe powers “Jonesing” as the strong male vocal is supported throughout by a lurching guitar riff. All in all, this is a strong band whose mix of elements results in songs that are ripe for film/TV placements, maybe even car commercials.
