Info for III

After naming their first two albums, Weathering and The Big Picture respectively, the simplicity of the title for Last Train’s third record is striking. The directness of III ( trois or three) is more than a hint of the key, primal force behind the album’s creation: raw anger. Yet this fury is not the usual release of life pressures – although they no doubt played a part – but instead is the result of a unique creative energy the Alsace natives needed to vent from their systems. Yet this cathartic outpouring has not been allowed to surge unmitigated into their music as III is the result of a meticulous and crafted creative journey that saw them make the album in a crumbling, unheated chateau in the midst of winter.

Last Train

Last Train
Jean-Noël Scherrer (vocals and guitar), Julien Peultier (guitar), Tim Gérard (bass) and Antoine Baschung (drums) met on the benches of an Alsatian college but decided at the age of 15 that their future would be in rock. They listened to the bands Band of Skulls, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club or Brian Jonestown Massacre and founded their own band, called Last Train. From small concert to small concert, they finally managed to acquire enough experience to win a springboard for young talents which saw them share the stage alongside BB Brunes or Caravan Palace. The four Mulhouse natives then played a series of concerts and released several EPs, including What's Wrong With Me (2012), She's Got Your Soul (2013), Cold Fever (2014), then The Holy Family (2015), whose title song managed to enter the top singles sales in France. These "do it yourself" enthusiasts had launched their own label, Cold Fame Records, a few months earlier. The phenomenon caught the attention of Johnny Hallyday and Les Insus, who hired them as the opening act for their tour. With this experience in mind, the Alsatians tried to focus their stage energy on a first album, Weathering (2017), which contained two tracks from their previous EPs, "Fire" and "Cold Fever". The rave reception they received was no less enthusiastic for The Big Picture, the next album, which was released two years later. The group followed this up with a tour across Eastern Europe, and a triumphant return home for an independent group, as Last Train performed to sold-out audiences and took to the legendary Olympia stage in 2020.

This album contains no booklet.
