Montreal’s The Last Mile have signed with Thousand Islands Records, who will be re-releasing the band's out-of-print 2021 debut LP ‘Respect The Frequency’ on vinyl with alternate artwork.

The Last Mile write songs that are rooted in melody and angst, love/hate and an unwavering hope, even in the darkest of times. The current line up has proven to be extremely proficient, arranging and recording all of the drums and bass for 11 songs over a week at The Posicorebox studio in Brooklyn. The guitars and the vocals were recorded in Montreal with Ryan Battistuzzi and feature help from some great friends, including guest vocals from Greg Laraigne as well as Lucas Rupnik (Dirty Tricks, Delta 666), Mathieu Forcier (Oktoplut, Prevenge), and Mike Gabriel (Answers, PL Mafia) on guitar, and Delano Pelletier (Indochine) on saxophone. The record was mixed by Jesse Gander and mastered by Stu Mckillop at Raincity Recorders in Vancouver.

Hailing from Montreal, The Last Mile, combine the furor and passion of hardcore with the ideals and energy of punk rock in a manner that sits in a timeless void.

Having played in over 30 countries since 2015, with 2 well-received full lengths, “The Distance Between,” (as Chris Snelgrove & The Last Mile. 2016), “Respect The Frequency,” (LP on Rad Girlfriend Records. 2021) as well as the “II” ep (Pavones Records. 2020), and being featured on multiple compilations, The Last Mile use their position as artists to help raise money for many charitable causes including the Portland General Defense Committee, battered women shelters, fighting anti-trans legislation and so much more.

The Last Mile have toured with and shared the stage with numerous acts including NOFX, Title Fight, Iron Chic, Petrol Girls, and La Armada. They’ve played festivals in the US and Europe such as FEST, Obenuse, Rhinos Feroce, Bearded Punk Fest and more.

The Last Mile are currently touring Europe with Thousand Islands Records labelmates The Corps.
