California punk outfit, The Last Gang, is back with a vengeance. Their third studio album ‘Obscene Daydreams’, due September 20th via Fat Wreck Chords, is a potent concoction of sharply written, hard-hitting punk anthems. The band, fronted by the ever-outspoken Brenna Red (vocals, guitar), is known for its infectious melodies and raw energy. ‘Obscene Daydreams’ promises to deliver more of the same, tackling themes of anger, defiance, love, and self-belief.
The record’s lead single, ‘Madness’, is a full-blown love song, showcasing a different side of The Last Gang. The band their inspiration: “‘Madness’ is different than anything we’ve released. It’s a ‘90s-esque grungy sort of rocker and the only love song TLG has ever written. It was the second to last demo we introduced during the writing process, and it immediately felt like it was going somewhere. Of course, we had not thought of it being the first single for the album at that time. Simple but catchy, this story of hysterical-lunatic love is a good representation of the diversity of songs on the new record.”
