Following the success of 2024’s It Leads To This—which soared to Number 1 on the Official UK Rock and Metal Chart—Last to Run shines a new light on the creative journey that shaped the band’s 2024 chart-topper, containing over 20 minutes of previously unreleased music.

 

Written during the same sessions that birthed It Leads To This, the songs on Last to Run reveal a powerful, cohesive narrative, showcasing the band’s unique blend of progressive rock and introspective lyricism. Vocalist and songwriter Bruce Soord reflects on the EP’s origins: 

 “We had some difficult decisions to make when deciding on the final track listing for It Leads To This. The songs on this EP are based on songs and ideas from those sessions but they have since evolved way beyond what we would have imagined at the time. We are delighted with the result – it really seems capture a different mood and sound”.

Last To Run will be released on November 8 on green vinyl LP, CD and digitally.

“I give something extra every time I do Montreux Jazz. In ’23 it was deep cuts like Mass Production, Endless Sea, Five Foot One and a hell of a lot of sweat.” – Iggy Pop

Hear “Five Foot One (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023),” the first single 

 

 

There has never been an artist on stage quite like Iggy Pop and here he has never been better. With a band as versatile and acrobatic as the artist himself, there is

everything from the glorious primitivism of Stooges-era “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “T.V. Eye,” the swagger of “Lust for Life,” the precise metronomic drone of

“Nightclubbing, “and the full-on unleashed rock fury of the recent “Modern Day Ripoff” and “Frenzy.”

This most comprehensive live collection catches up with Iggy as he continues to win over generations of new fans and perform at the highest level his lifelong devotees have come to expect.
