Hailing from the heart of Corporate Capitalism, San Jose, CA based band Last Ditch Effort attempts to bring back the punk rock sound and attitude of the Punk-o-Rama era, while providing a contemporary social commentary on the prevailing threats of Neo-Fascism. Heavy, angry, inspired punk music should work to combat the complacency and degradation of the working class and LDE hopes to fill that seemingly endless void.

Frontman Jesse Coggins on the new EP: “As an educator and a historian, I felt it was my duty to write a contemporary album detailing the fear, hate, and unease that we are all feeling today. However, it is not meant to be an album of surrender, but of inspiration to fight back and create the communities you want to see. This shit is not fucking normal, and it will not be normalized. Listen to this EP and get fucking pissed!"

Inspired by the punk bands of the Epitaph/Fat era, L.D.E. hopes to develop a message of not just political despair, but also a feeling of connectedness and camaraderie for the downtrodden masses, living within a system that is designed to prey on their needs and insecurities.
