“Last in Line” are a British rock band formed in 2012 by former members of the original lineup of “Dio” after the death of singer Ronnie James Dio in 2010. The band’s name comes from the 1984 Dio album The Last in Line. Guitarist Vivian Campbell, who also plays with Def Leppard, explained how Last in Line likes to record their music:
“With Last in Line, just as we did with Dio, we cut the basic tracks live. “It’s important for us to capture the energy of the syncopation of playing together in real time – much like the energy of a live show. This record represents the best of both worlds: the spirit of an energetic band performance, and the more reflective and nuanced qualities of our individual performances, too.”
Ghost Town is the first single released from Last in Line’s new album Jericho.Lead singer Andrew Freeman commented:
“The song for me describes breaking a cycle from different perspectives. On a personal level it could be family, career or life expectations, putting a person in an unwanted or unwelcome space. On a grander scale it addresses government expectations. Nonsensical, unethical ideas and laws that become the norm, while turning a blind eye to larger problems.”
Ghost Town by “Last in Line” is new this week on RadiJohan.
