LAST LAUGH
"No
Regrets" (Suburban Noize; 2006)
Reviewed by Mike SOS
Florida quintet Last Laugh sound like they came straight from a California skate park. Fusing the sounds of Pennywise, Strung Out and countless other Warped Tour hopefuls, this 12-track collection competently creates a semi-hard, semi-good time feel with songs like “Cut Me Loose,” then goes old school AFI on “Your Distraction,” and finally laments all the way on “At The Top."
Mixing its energy with a touch of darkness, songs like the title cut showcase the band’s depth, while an Unwritten Law-esque acoustic piano beginning yields to the passionate punk of “Gone…”, dually demonstrating the band’s tender side and dynamic prowess.
"No Regrets" is an album chock full of emotionally charged punk rock great for the half-pipe or cruising the town on a Saturday night.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
