Fresh off a European tour that included shows with Kings of Leon and Neil Young and performances at numerous festivals, including British Summer Time in Hyde Park, The Last Internationale have announced the release of their debut album We Will Reign via Columbia Records September 29th. The band are also due to perform at the Monster Energy Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA (September 13) and the Austin City Limits Festival (October 5) as well as a US headline tour. They will also be supporting Robert Plant this November, full dates below.
The band's founders, Delila Paz and Edgey Pires, quickly forged a reputation for poetic, socially conscious songs and explosive live performances, prompting Rolling Stone to declare, "New York's counterculture spirit lives on in The Last Internationale." The pair spent Thanksgiving 2013 at the home of Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, The Nightwatchman, Audioslave) and when they mentioned their need for a drummer, Morello connected them with Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave). After hearing their material and bonding with Edgey and Delila, Wilk signed on. The trio recorded We Will Reign with producer Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Neil Young) in Los Angeles.
The Last Internationale, which has toured recently with Weezer and Kings of Leon, has won praise for its riveting live shows. Yahoo! Music noted, "The strikingly fervent, politically-charged rock band The Last Internationale stands out" and Billboard hailed their "hard-hitting modern rock mélange."
