Last Ditches, The: Spilt Milk

The Last Ditches are Walter Lure (guitar and vocals) formerly of Johnny Thunder's Heartbreakers, Binky Philips (guitar and vocals) of the hard rocking band The Planets, Randy Pratt (bass and vocals) formerly of the Funky Knights and the recently reformed classic hard rock band Cactus and Bobby Rondinelli (drums) ex-Black Sabbath.

There is nothing overly complicated here, just hard driving gritty rock and roll in the tradition of classic '70s rock. What you get are thirteen hard rock guitar driven tunes led by gritty lead vocals, nice guitar work and an excellent rhythm section. From the pile driving guitar riffs in the gritty "Where Am I?" to the sweet country ballad "I Made A Mess" to the irresistible mid-tempo rock of "I Get That A Lot", this is pure feel good music that will surely put a smile on your face. The vocals may take some time getting used and are a little flat at times and the choruses are often done in a shouting style but it all works well within the band's classic rock sound. For those who appreciate a good guitar riff or two, burning solos and like '70s rock in the vein of The Kinks and The Romantics would do well to give this one a listen.
