LAST RESORT LR1

 DON'T MISS THIS!!

The Last Resort, a name synonomous with the Oi! movement both as a shop catering for those of the skinhead persuasion and lifestyle in the '80's and as one of the iconic bands of that era. Their reputation far outweighed their recorded output, which has resulted in the band being given legendary status despite only being together originally for little over a year between 1980 and 1982.

Their first gig was as support to the Originals, March 4, 1981 at Acklam Hall in West London. Following this gig, the band put out a 4 track cassette "A way Of Life" on the Cringe Music label, which was sold over the counter of the aforementioned shop and whose tracks featured heavily in Garry Bushell's Punk and Oi! Charts through Sounds, the music paper of it's day.

The band got together originally in 1980 after Roi Pearce had seen a band called The Rivals rehearsing. Following this, he met up with a guitarist called Charlie Duggan. Graham Saxby was then recruited on vocals and at a Rivals gig they found a drummer called Andy Benfield. The name The Last Resort came from a shop near Petticoat Lane, East London owned by Micky French who happily agreed to let the band share the name.

Following on from the first gig and cassette release, Saxby left the band in early 1981, with Roi taking over on vocals and Arthur Kay being recruited to take over bass duties. This line-up played on the "Strength Thru Oi!" and "Carry On Oi!" album tracks and recorded the bands first album, "'A Way Of Life' Skinhead Anthems", which was originally released on their own Last Resort records in 1982. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL - NOT A RE-ISSUE!!
