Last Train The sound of the band is sometimes described as grunge meets twang meets punk. It is familiar, Americana and Alt-country and fits right in on KNBA. “Comprised of Mark Ward, Steve Padrick, Ted Rosenzweig and Matt Janssen, the band describes themselves as “a melding of ideas as each one of us taps into a love for just about every kind of American music out there.” Anchorage Press, March 09
