Describing themselves as a psych-prog-party band The Last People on Earth have been a firm fixture on the Hull music scene for the past five years. Drawing comparisons to explain their sound Patrick, the bands lead vocalist and bass player, suggests you should 'think of Pink Floyd meets the Super Furry Animals and Beta Band or perhaps Jeff Buckley singing late 60's Beach Boy songs'. Naturally their music has evolved over the last five years, in their own words 'like a child but quicker' leaving them with three albums firmly in place, the latest being Electric Angel.
