This is punk. Last Priority plays punk, looks punk and lives punk….read it…..may-2008.

 

History?

-The Last Priority began in the summer of 1999, for the most part the line up has been the same for about the past 5 years except for drummer changes. We put out our first ep "No Regrets" DIY when we were still in high school, and printed em ourselves. We then relesed the "JUST US" 7'' (2003) followed by a split 7'' (2005) with Denver thrash punx The Clusterfux before relesing "Amerika's Hijacked" in 2008.

 

Please tell me a little about every member, age, interests, work, family and something really bad about every one?

-The current line up is Brady, 23, on lead vocals, Ryan Lee 24 , on guitar, Josh Cunt 25 bass, and Chuck 36 drums.
