Alter The Press! Presents: Last Lungs

Preston/Manchester-based instrumental pop group, Last Lungs continues the lineage of breath-taking sounds that Deep Elm Records has produced over the years; The Appleseed Cast, Moving Mountains and more recently Goonies Never Say Die.

Despite growing up to pop-punk, their latest release 'Look At That Old Grizzly Bear', the five-piece create a mesmerizing, inspiring sound that flows seamlessly and with little to no sign of influence of the latter genre. Instead the band head down an airy, atmospheric "post-rock" sound with much emphasis on structure and progression.

For Fans Of: This Will Destroy You, God Is An Astronaut, The Appleseed Cast and Moving Mountains.

<a href="http://deepelmdigital.com/album/look-at-that-old-grizzly-bear">Oh, Good Morning by Deep Elm Records</a>


Interview with Sean Doherty (guitarist).

Alter The Press: Why should Alter The Press! readers check you out?
Last Lungs: Readers should check us out because we're the kind of band that people think they wouldn't like, but when they actually give us a chance they really dig us. We play instrumental pop music (but we do have the odd lyrics here and there) and we put everything into our music. People may wonder what our style of music may sound like, and it is a pretty difficult thing to describe. We all grew up listening to bands like Nofx and a lot of other punk and pop-punk, and we're all really into bands with tech guitars and such. We kind of merge all our influences into one thing and it just comes out as our own music.

Interview: New Found Glory

At the Rochester Hills, MI stop of the 2010 Honda Civic Tour, Alter The Press managed to sit down with New Found Glory front man, Jordan Pundik, for a brief interview.

Jordan spoke to ATP about: supporting Paramore and playing to a whole new generation of fans, previously co-headlining the Honda Civic Tour seven years ago, the 'new' pop-punk scene, the next New Found Glory record and more.

Alter The Press: How has the tour been going to far?
Jordan Pundik (vocals): Great, it's been easy for us, we've known Paramore for a long time, and we've been able to play to a lot of new fans. When we do signings (we do them everyday,) the lines are really long, which is great; we get kids coming up to us saying: “We've never heard of you guys before! This is our first time!” In my head, I'm thinking, 'Where have you been? We tour ten months out of the year, every year, for thirteen years!' It's cool though, because it's a whole new generation of kids getting into this kind of music.
