PRESS:
LMLC have not only a quality that far surpasses that of a local band standard, but a sound all their own. Combine this with their energetic live performance, and you have the recipe for a few guys you might want to keep an eye on. ...One thing I would look for when booking bands was an act’s ability to appeal to more than a small niche, because that’s the best promotion a band can get, more fans. Last Martyrs draw fans from all sides of the musical spectrum, because they offer something for everyone.

The album is solid through and through. There is not a song to be skipped, as each one offers something new while maintaining the band’s sound. The horns are solid, giving the entire album a boost even if it doesn’t really need one. The lyrics are also solid; Irons is a talented singer, and he gives each song its own personality and tone. The production and mixing, too, are very high-quality.
~ Thomas Enget, MNska.com
Last Martyrs of a Lost Cause have established themselves as not only a vigorous outfit, but musicians with a scarce gift to transform the face of music as we know it into something epic, and similarly, something words can't even begin to describe. [Their Demo] is a sensational foundation for the Philadelphia-based sextet, and with the essential bullwork, desire, and unified ambition, absolutely no reason exists as to why Last Martyrs of a Lost Cause possess anything less than the grant to enthrall believers everywhere.

Letting Go
Last Martyrs of a Lost Cause Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thieves of reggae steal the waves out of my door
Got nothing on my mind
Gonna take another trip and let tonight go
My mind's on fire
Not you, i won't let you chase me
Dark clouds just pass by and let the sun shine through
Forget everything, yeah take it all in stride
Remember all the things that make up your inside
It might just be the day
When you drop this anxiousness and let your fears go-oh
I've tried so hard, it shows sometimes
I've been waiting for this all my life
