“2017 might be drawing to a close, but Late Night Legacy are back with a vengeance, and they’re not letting the year go without a fight!”
There’s no getting around it: 2017 has been a hard year.
Almost 12 months ago, we were breathing a sigh of relief that 2016 was over, blissfully unaware of the absolute horror that was still to come. Still, if there’s one thing this year has delivered on, it’s good music, and with just a few weeks to go until we can put this whole disaster behind us, 2017 has given us one last surprise.
I’ll admit, I’m always hesitant to cover the same bands multiple times on my site, but every time Late Night Legacy hit me up with a new track, I’m surprised and delighted by the direction they’ve taken. Somehow, they always seem to know exactly what the world is needing, whether it’s a ridiculous laugh-a-minute romp with a damn good beat, or a surprisingly poignant inspirational track that still has the power to knock you back across the room.
This year, they gave their audience the choice between something all out and heavy or something on the softer side, and everyone’s feelings about 2017 came out in the vote. Overwhelmingly, their fans opted for something hard, fast and brutal, and that’s exactly what they got.
Their newest single “Beat Up” is exactly the kind of unrelenting call to arms you’d expect, without abandoning the infectious groove that makes the band such an irresistible live experience. You can dance to it, don your warpaint to it, strut down the street to it; In short, it’s the perfect song for anyone looking to show 2018 who’s boss.
I was lucky enough to find myself with an advance copy, but the good news is, you guys don’t have to wait long to experience it for yourselves. The video drops on the 27th of December, along with a full review from yours truly over on The Gryphon, and if it’s anywhere near as empowering as the track itself – well, let’s just say you’re in for a treat.
In the meantime, you can keep up to date with the guys via their Facebook and Twitter, and let me know who else I should be paying attention to here. Have an awesome Christmas, and as always:
Stay Different,
Your Skye

I have no time to follow bands any more like I used to and I miss it. I hope next year is lots better for you xx
Glad you’ve found a band you love. I usually try not to feature the same brands (in my case because I usually write about food), but I think it shows that you genuinely love something if you mention it a few times 🙂
2017 really has been a crazy year no doubt. I don’t know about completely awful but certainly crazy. I will have to check out this band. Thanks for the info.
Nice. This is my mummy’s sort of music! Totally agree 2017 has been an awful year in some many ways. Roll on 2018 x
