Oakland, CA’s Last Planet offers a heavy soulful blues-rock sound spearheaded by an excellent female singer and an equally adept guitarist whose crunch-packed tone is absolutely amazing, filling every cranny of the songs’ deep, dark reverb. Our fave is “Whiskey Breath” in which the lead female voice demonstrates terrific tone, range and touch amid some very cool FX (megaphone and doubled voices). The band’s male singer takes the lead on “Straight Jacket,” filled with surprising chords and changes,  and “Jonesing,” about an undeniable physical attraction (“I’m burning all the way through!”). Both songs are packed with a giant ballsy-blues-rock guitar tone that we never tired of hearing.
