South-East rockers ONE LAST DAY are proud to unleash their debut single NOT READY TO DIE upon the world. With its deeply introspective lyrics, the track explores dark times that will resonate with many, but rather than accepting this as the reality we allow to dominate, the listener is reminded that we can choose our own outcome.
As with all debut tracks, this is the first opportunity to see what One Last Day has on offer, where they sit on the kick-ass spectrum. Not Ready To Die provides us with a riff-centric slice of accessible rock with the meat and muscle of metal. With a nuanced grasp of mixing different phrasings, the band effortlessly slide between rigid structure and blazing breakdowns, all neatly held together by the experienced vocals of Alex Willox (ex Bad Solution).
Alex Willox (vocals) brings some insight about the band and track:
“Since myself and the guys got in contact I felt an instant connection to their artistic passion and desire to play and immediately wanted to be a part of this brotherhood or fellowship. Let’s say fellowship!
Not Ready To Die is a track that I feel many will resonate with during these trying times for many. If we can all take one thing away from this track it’s, please don’t give up on whatever journey you are on no matter the circumstance. We need to be there for each other.”,
John Harmsworth (guitar) continues:
“This track is living proof we can adjust our journeys. All band members had to be remote during the whole process which can be tough but like millions of others out there right now we are getting it done and learning boatloads of knowledge also.
Our way of being there for our friends and loved ones is through our passion of playing and delivering great music. We hope you will all enjoy our music too and cannot wait to fire away on this journey together!”.
Not Ready To Die is available from all good outlets right now, stream and purchase at Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music & Amazon.
About One Last Day
It started with a single jam session between two guitar loving friends. Gareth Stapleton and John Harmsworth knew they had the start of something that could work. With a shared desire to deliver heavy yet accessible music, One Last Day’s journey was born. Of course at this point there were no other members, no plan, not even the name!
Through the creative development, the guys started playing with different musicians and cementing the direction they wanted to progress, with the addition of Adrian Osman on drums, they found a kindred spirit and also the solid backdrop on which they could deliver. As active members of the South East music scene, they already knew of the vocal prowess of Alex Willox, and after a few hours in a dingy practice room, One Last Day had found it’s voice, literally.
It’s an interesting time to be setting out in the industry and One Last Day are accepting the challenge. One day soon, these guys will be tearing up stages everywhere, come along for the ride and remember where you heard them first!
