Rock / Garage / Pop

Combining the buoyant melodies of ‘50s and ‘60s pop and rock with a youthful pop-punk sneer, the trio is ruled by influences that don’t get the attention they deserve in 2010. Far from being a problem, this is what makes Last Year’s Men stand out. They shake and shimmy through the kind of retro rock usually pumped out by jaded old curmudgeons, attacking break-ups and shake-ups with the kind of youthful intensity that can fight through any failure.
