South Carolina trio The Last Car in Alaska play a sort of melodic emo-core that must be pretty popular with the Warped Tour audience they've played to. Some of it sounds pretty amateur in parts (mixing on the first track, "I Like You Man... You're Crazy", features some strange contrasts in vocal volume, and the whole EP has vocals that often sound like they're totally separate from the music) but since these guys seem to have done this solely off their own backs, they do earn some props.
Track two sounds like old At The Drive-In before the vocals come in, and features possibly the most annoying backing vocals I have ever heard in the form of the "Take me home! Take me home!" refrain.
The first few tracks display the most energy here, whereas the latter half of this six-track EP slows things down, with one track telling the grim tale of being a murder suspect. The final track is the ubiquitous acoustic song, complete with wannabe-Hot Water Music gruff vocals. It definitely sounds like these guys have heart and are really into what they're doing, but they need to develop somewhat to escape the clichés and crappiness of the genre.
