Last Man Standing

Where did it all go so wrong for Max Vanderwolf? When did he lose his faith in love and goodwill? Why did he give it away so callously or casually ? And what did he trade it in for? Some songs? Some words? Some memories of a vaguely good time that will haunt him for his remaining years? Considering the 10 stunning tracks on False Starts and Broken Promises by his band Last Man Standing it may have been a fair trade. The songs are memorable, the lyrics powerful, and it sounds like he's stumbled down a colorful if crooked path. The years of Last Man Standing are filled with tumultuous ups and downs which can only give more inspiration for the band. A band that are now playing gigs to enthusiastic audiences. A regular fixture at The Lost Vagueness burlesque parties in London, a band that was invited to perform at the Paradiso in Holland for the ''London Calling Festival'', support slots with the Polyphonic Spree, Mercury Rev and Circulus, a weekly residency at Madame Jojo's and festivals including V Festival, Lovebox Festival, Secret Garden Festival and Electric Picnic Festival in Dublin"Now I'm in deep again," says Vanderwolf. " And I'm losing my mind- everything must go. Sacrifice it all. Damn the torpedoes. March, soldier. I can almost taste victory. Or is that nerve gas? Recorded against great odds, under great constraints and with great ambition, False Starts and Broken Promises, is the soundtrack to someone's downfall- hopefully not Vanderwolf's.
