History

It's rare to see a band with roots planted firmly in the punk rock scene come together at a college in the south; it's also rare to find a band with such determination and drive. The Last Car in Alaska, hailing from Clemson, South Carolina, is slowly becoming an oasis of rock in the upstate of South Carolina. By mixing the heart of a young band with the desire for great songwriting that most bands don't exhibit until well into their career, the Last Car is making a name for itself.

The band came together in late 2004 with a desire to create a sound that challenged themselves as musicians while always trying to remain more melodic than technical. With lyrics that are sometimes bitter, sometimes nostalgic, and always heartfelt, Vocalist and Guitarist Dan Ubilla intertwines poetic melodies around Drummer Andy Campbell's angular, heart-pounding rhythms. Bassist and Vocalist Jared Weinstein complements and completes the trio with catchy bass lines hiding right below the surface of the songs.

In May of 2006, Last Car entered the studios with hopes of creating an album that would both encompass the sound they've perfected for the past two years while testing new sonic grounds. The band spent the rest of the summer touring from Pennsylvania down to Georgia playing everywhere from community centers to Athens' famed 40 Watt Club with a summer stint on Warped Tour 2006 thrown into the middle. Comfort was released in August 2006. The past few months have seen the band building up their regional fanbase in upstate South Carolina
