LAST OPTION - Burning (+ Over Time EP)

Location: Arizona, USA
Release: In Your Face Records, 1988

Time to dig out another hidden old school jam/gem, Phoenix's LAST OPTION!

During their first run, they lasted from '86 to '91 with 3 recordings out, right after the demo they've put out in 1987 the Over Time EP which was the first release by SOUL FORCE RECORDS (same label that put out Insight and Breakaway) and in 1988 the Burning LP came out on IN YOUR FACE RECORDS ran by Kalvin Piper from Heresy.

Expect fast paced hardcore inspired by Southern California sound, many bands come to mind but you will find similarities in groups such as Final Conflict (Ashes To Ashes era), late Insted, Nemesis Records' Point Blank.

In 2019 they got back together and LAST OPTION entered the digital era, streaming services, downloads, you name it, they're on it... and guess what else? A new album emerged GET ACTION BE SANE, that's a 30+ years reunion gap, damn!
