Last Stand For Lucy and new EP

9/25/2011

1 Comment

 
     Last Stand For Lucy are a four-piece alternative/hard-rock band from New York City. Members include Michael O'Neil (vocals, guitar), Derek Nicholas (guitar), Josh McElroy (bass), and Jon Serwinowski (drums). They released a four-song EP last year titled, Bastards of Gramercy. As a follow-up, instead of a full-length, Last Stand For Lucy will be releasing two separate EP's titled, Dysthymia. Just recently, the band released the first of the two, simply titled, Dysthymia Part 1. 
Picture
     The songs on Dysthymia Part 1 are more energetic and upbeat, but they still maintain that aggressive quality that made the previous EP so damn good. The dynamics between the two guitars and bass are a lot more crisp and well defined, especially with the guitar leads and solos.  The solos are pretty tight (check out Small and Precious, and Seven). The drum introduction on the song, Heartless Son of a Bitch, definitely has that sort of new-wave rock vibe to it as do the guitars. But everything else in between the beginning and end makes the song one of the more rock-driven tracks on the EP. 
     The closing track, On Your Good Advice, is the more closely reminiscent song of Last Stand For Lucy's previous work. The song keeps the same tempo as with the tracks on Bastards of Gramercy, complete with tight instrumentals and group vocals. O'Neil's vocal work is as excellent as before and compliments everything else on the EP.
     Last Stand For Lucy did release earlier previews of songs that now appear on Dysthymia Part 1. They also did release an earlier track (Careless Heart) that will appear (more than likely) on what will probably be titled, Part 2. Something to look forward to. But be sure to check out Dysthymia Part 1 right now. It pretty much rocks.
