O mais novo destes produtos é o quarteto de Saint Petersburg, Last Exit, que no mês passado soltaram seu segundo EP. "Basement Showroom" sonoramente seria algo como o Radiohead sem anfetamina e o Interpol sem cocaína, traduzindo, os caras dispensam os experimentos extremos e a dose densa de melancolia, concentrando-se em criar uma atmosfera que paira por entre o desespero e o emocional dosando ambos sem exageros.
Se o indie rock de massas tivesse a qualidade do Last Exit, certamente vivenciaríamos tempos melhores.
***** Interview with Last Exit *****
First time we (Timur - guitar\vocal , Daniel - guitar\back vocal) were gathered in Makhachkala in far 2007 (very special year for russian alternative scene),just cause we listened same music and had a strong impulse to play guitars and write songs. Members of the band has changed many times over several years,changed even the instrument on which they played,so Daniel ,our guitar player, at first played drums. At that time we played covers and our own very british indie songs. Then Islam (bass) and Ruslan (drums) joined us in late 2015 By this time we moved in Saint Petersburg and wrote a lot of new songs,so that group acquired the current style and sound
2)Who are your influences?
Of course it's a lot of music (from the beatles to the fall, from pink floyd to mac demarco and etc), our families, joint work on the material All the situations that have happened to us over the years of life in two cities, and of course our roots,culture of our native land - republic Dagestan.

Live performances is a special kind of pleasure. That streaming exchange of energy by both sides,fantastic feeling. It makes situation as real as possible,breaks any inner barriers so we use any possibility to play gigs
5)How do you describe Last Exit sounds?
We strive to reflects in our music our primal emotional side, cause only in that way you can write something worth for your inner Simon Cowell. We are striving for deep atmospheric sound and for a good melody in every song. Not that we think through this, just that's the way it works at that moment.
6)Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
All work , like studio payment,producing tracks and released them were on us. There are often new ideas right before the recording or during the record. And it's always experiments,searching for a new unknown pathes,so it's always a priceless expirience.
