Final Warning [Australia]



~2005-PRESENT
5-piece ska punk/ska-core band based in Melbourne, Australia. No horns.
Sometimes they sound close to crack rock.

It was complicated to find the info about their releases.
First 2CD edition, as i assume, includes all the tracks they recorded earlier.
And LP was recorded and released after that.
It has some newer songs, and doesn't have few older songs.
Quality is much better here!



Members: Brendan - vocals; Dale - guitar, vocals; Bernard - guitar, vocals;
Brad - bass; ? - drums.

Take Sides [USA]



~2002-2006 [RIP]
It was a ska-core band from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Talking about their music i can say that Last Transmission sounds old school
and punk, with leanings to guitar ska-core, sometimes it comes even close
to crack rock steady. The sound of Gentlemen Don't Ask, And Ladies Won't Tell EP
is different, it's more chaotic, heavier, metallic, experimental and modern.

Members: Vixtor - vocals, bass; Spider - vocals, guitar; Mr Cooper - trumpet, vocals;
LOL - drums, vocals; Oliviet - vocals.
