Our Last Night

New Hampshire-based post-hardcore band Our Last Night was formed in 2004 by brothers Trevor (vocals) and Matt Wentworth (guitar, vocals), along with childhood friends Alex Woodrow (bass), Colin Perry (guitar), and Tim Molloy (drums). Combining the melodic structures of emo with the guttural sounds of hardcore, Our Last Night sporadically toured the New England area for three years, releasing several EPs and self-made demos along the way. These recordings found their way to Epitaph, where label owner Brett Gurewitz took interest in the band’s maturity and wide-ranging vocals. The label signed Our Last Night in the summer of 2007, and the group soon headed west to record its debut album in Orange County, California. Completed later that year, The Ghosts Among Us was released in early 2008, followed two years later by We Will All Evolve in 2010. For their next album, the band began to refine their sound, moving in a more melodic, post-hardcore direction with few metal moments on their third album, 2012′s Age of Ignorance. That same year, guitarist Colin Perry left the group and they began to further alter their sound, releasing an EP of cover songs as well as acoustic and electric versions of their 2013 EP Oak Islands. Our Last Night’s fourth full-length album, Younger Dreams, arrived in the summer of 2015. Preceded by the 2016 single “Common Ground,” the band issued the seven-song Selective Hearing EP in 2017. They returned in 2019 with the studio album Let Light Overcome, featuring the single “Demons.” ~ Andrew Leahey
