Last Words First has said their... fuck it, you get it

new name for the new age, or something similarly portentous. i've got eight months of stifled rage burning inside this tiny body after a series of bacterial infections and debilitating stomach illnesses that have basically had me in an out of the hospital up until just pretty recently, so i've got a special fury right now to start screaming some jumbled words at a microphone while tj channels unholy spirits with some fantastic chords in a series of melodically pleasing arrangements. we've got a bit more work to do getting ourselves back on our feet, but it'll be soon, it'll be loud and it'll be just so much fun. so Last Words First has said their last, but fret not dearies. stay tuned for The Deadnames, hopefully to be coming soon to a dive bar near you. -lyra

Ok folks! We finished recording on this just before I left for Thailand. If you want to support trans music, listen, enjoy, and share far and wide! Sophia is killing it on that bass!

Meanwhile, I’m heading in for surgery in a few hours. Leave me some nice messages telling me what you think so I have something to read when I wake up!

This is fantastic!! Congrats to all of you on the amazing first single!

"Chasers" is a fucking huuuge track... Love the weird angularity and prominent but tasteful bass parts. Plus some Real Lyrics obv. Mad support + trans girl punk solidarity 5ever !!

Thank you for the support and listening, it means a lot to all of us !!! <3

words and stuff about last words first

alas, i come with less-than-great news. Last Words First will be taking a bit of a hiatus as our singer recovers from just, one horrible motherfucker of a bacterial infection. we have some plans in the works for some upcoming badassery, but in the meanwhile be sure and give a follow to @vortexsophia, she has some of her own stuff that we would love for everyone to get behind, and if you've heard us you've heard her bass, so i can't imagine why you wouldn't want to have your faces melted clean the fuck off by whatever it is she's got coming for you. so stay tuned, patient listeners, and thanks for the love so far ❤ ❤ ❤ -kat @trannidifranco

[thedeadnames]

soothing news from the sickly singer! we're so punk rock we even make heavy sedation look good. we took a bit of a holiday hiatus, and we'll be coming back with much more activity pretty soon here. rest assured, we're still kicking against the pricks or whatever the kids are saying nowadays. - Kat

[thedeadnames]

we just knocked out our first two shows, and we're so happy to see the response we've been getting. we wouldn't be doing anything without your support, and couldn't be more appreciative. thank you all so much, and stay tuned for new music and the inevitable world tour ❤ - kat
