I must admit that I hadn’t heard of English band One Last Run until we received a link to their new album “Unbreakable” from Rage PR. I liked the band’s sound as soon as I checked out the video for the album’s title track and quickly decided to download the album. I played “Unbreakable” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 6th May; which was the same date as the album was released.
The band come from the Warrington/Manchester area and started initially with three friends getting together and recruiting a drummer before they found the singer they were looking for in Becky Roberts. The guys in the band are Jack Pennington (Guitar), Rob Leach (Guitar), Chris Smith (Bass) and Dan Brown (Drums). One of the band’s most recent gigs was supporting Butcher Babies in Swansea during their tour in April.
One Last Run released a self-titled EP in late 2014 before starting work on the debut album “Unbreakable”. There are ten tracks on the album and my favourites would include “Unbreakable”, “Casanova”, “Reckless” and “All You Need To Know”

About “NI Rocks Recommends”
The simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends” is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It’s a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional “review”!
My musical tastes cover most things rock; from the not too melodic to the not too heavy. The albums that I’ll be recommending are merely those that I would buy myself and which you’ll be hearing played on my shows on Rock Radio NI.
