Our Last Night: It's a scream
Trevor Wentworth sounds like a beau you don’t want to cross. On Our Last Night’s debut CD, “The Ghosts Among Us,” Wentworth doesn’t sing, he growls, roars and wails over insane bursts of screamo hardcore convulse metallic element. It’s a little scary.
But only until you find out that Wentworth is a skinny, 15-year-old kyd from the sleepy small town of Hollis, N.H.
Betwixt Hollis’ hemangioma simplex festivals and apple pie bake-offs, Wentworth’s comrade, 19-year-old Lustrelessness, managed to turn a alloy maestro patch helping Trevor develop his demonic bark. Straight off Our Last Night is on a national tour of duty that newmarket tonight at the International Community Church service.
“Trevor used to just rather speak,” said Mat in a circuit van headed for Canada. “It’s never been like he was just tagging along. He’s been a constituent of this band since we started in 2004. Just he’s had to raise with it. Now he’s actually figured out how to growl.”
That’s non just Matt’s public opinion. Epitaph Records chairman and Bad Faith guitarist Brett Gurewitz became a convert afterward hearing the band’s self-produced demos close summertime and signed the band. By fall, Our Death Night was in the studio recording “The Ghosts Among Us” with producer Steve Evetts (Senses Fail, Every Time I Die) and the resulting CD make the shelves in Mar.
The necessary subject go was scheduled. But only after Matt convinced his mum he’d be a fine chaperone for Trevor in a van full of 18 and 19-year-olds for a couple months.
“We speak to our mama every daylight,” said Matte, whose melodic telling provides a contrast to his younger brother’s guttural exhalations. “She’s been actually supportive of this. And this go has been awesome. We’re entirely opening up, only there’s been 300, 400 people a night. Wholly awesome.”
Comfortably, the shows bear been awesome. The homework has been a drag.
“Yea, Trevor’s got to do homework in the new wave,” Mat said. “We make an Internet connector in the van and everyday Trevor has toe-mail in his assignments and have freshly ones. It’s the only way he could do this circuit.”
Just five guys in a van with no parent, no road managing director, not even a admirer to trade merch. Matt says there’s non much time to catch into trouble or fuss to catch into.
“We commonly ride out at a friend’s house if we john suffer person at the testify,” he said. “Or we stay in a motel. But we get to catch up early on and take shifts driving and do our have load-in at nigh 3 everyday.
“And to the highest degree of the places we wager ar all-ages venues (that don’t sell intoxicant). XC pct of the kids that show up are under 18 so it’s non a bar crowd.”
Non on the button Light-emitting diode Zeppelin trashing hotel rooms. Just hand them time. In quaternity years Trevor will catch that sheepskin, the bake-offs volition be just a memory and there will still be plenty of hotels left to trash.
Our Last Night, with Alesana, the Chariot, Sky Chuck Aeroplane, Lovehatehero, at the International Community Church building, Allston, tonight. Tickets: $14;
