Following on from our first review of Last Stop China Town we thought it was about time that Music Not Mayhem returned to this hotly tipped favourite band to suss out just what the guys have been up to in the interim. We became fans of the band as soon as we tuned into the critically acclaimed 'Vital Signs' album - so following this success are they living up to the promise - should you go be getting excited about Last Stop China Town?
Fuck - YES - Last Stop China Town have been rawkin their proverbial little cotton socks off non stop - and it shows - this a a band that could (and most certainly will) fill out our major stadiums - they have the look - they have the sound - they have the talent - they have the experience - in fact these guys have it all - check out the material that's going down. This is raw, rockin, mega talent that has built a solid and strong fan base in a very short time - this is a band that has brought metal to a whole new generation while still exciting the old hands - this, my dears is LAST STOP CHINA TOWN and this could well be the stuff of future musical legends.
Okay - don't just take our word for it - look at what the mighty Bruce Dickenson has to say about LSCT:
"Hurrah! Interesting sound. Nice. Thick with stringent bits, multi-layered and textured.."
Neat eh? Following the release of 'Vital Signs' the guys got these cracking reviews:
"The guitars are cranked, the vocals are on heat....you'll be humming this in the shower, trust us"!
Classic Rock Issue 94
"call off the search, we've found the album of 2006 already"!
Devolution
"Enough swagger and harmony to make even the most jaded journo sit up and take notice"
Burn Magazine March 2006
"metallic guitars and earnest vocals, music written and performed for the right reasons"!
Kerrang!
Last Stop China Town continue to make bigger and bigger ripples while they expertly work that circuit, grounded and solid, this band have done a tough apprenticeship - unusual in this day of instant gratification - but what it means is that LSCT have done the groundwork - and that means that they are ready - they know how to get the message across and crucially they know how to hold an audience enthralled - don't underestimate the power of crowd connection - not all bands can do it, it's what sets apart the wannabes from the real stars - and LSCT can engage the crowd with ease and finesse. LSCT have played some great venues as headliners in their own right but they have also supported the likes of Bullet For My Valentine, Skindred and Breed 77 on major tours.
Last Stop China Town are igniting the world of metal with a refreshing sound that has wide appeal - these guys are talented performers, raw, edgy, audacious and riveting - they can go from haunting and lyrical to hard, rough and rugged in less than a heartbeat - we'd advice you to see them in a small venue while you still can - they'll be rockin 'em at the big stadiums soon!
Last Stop China Town are on the way.... it's rock with passion, theatrics, superb riffs, catchy choruses and well written lyrics with a knack of pressing all the right buttons.
LSCT have entered the
Bodog Battle and such is their appeal that they have been up there at number 1 for some time now - help keep them there - do your bit and vote for this amazing band - they're headed for great things - let's help them on the way!

Listen to Last Stop China Town
Last Stop China Town
Alon
Properly talented and charismatic front man for the band. Cool but mega talented vocalist who lives and breathes metal - livin the lifestyle and lovin it!
Lewis
Totally crazed drummer - a one off creature of the night! - an ideal rock star to be honest! On the edge - just gotta be there.
Olli Olli is a calm individual with much influence - but don't be fooled - he's a rocker to the core with plenty attitude to go round.
Robin
Nope - the daily routine is just not an option for Robin - expect the unexpected - he's not gonna settle for less.
