THE LAST CONSPIRATORS

THE LAST CONSPIRATORS are on the verge of releasing the
follow-up to their critically acclaimed WARPARTY album. Led by Albany NY punk-pioneer, former Morons frontman and songwriter, Tim Livingston, rebel-rockers THE LAST CONSPIRATORS serve up another batch of cutting, socially-charged blasts, a potent Molotov cocktail of psychedelic-punk and soulful, garage rock.

WARPARTY, a set of old-school rock & roll protest songs, was called by the TIMES UNION “ The most
potent politically charged disc of the year, walking the tightrope between punk passion and polished
professionalism.” THE BIG TAKEOVER MAGAZINE said: “I hear Love, ‘60s blues rock balladry, ballsy
post-punk mashers like 80s Australians, and dexterous guitars that prove ballast for Livingston’s
burning convictions like “American Son” and our in-foreclosure U.S. of “Innocent”. HARP MAGAZINE called it: “incisive and poetic... overall an engaging album “, while CHRONOGRAM said: “...a quartet that brings a welcome, Information Age crunch to the tough, melodic sounds of late ’70s/early ’80s Brit-punk; think
The Clash, The Jam, maybe The Ruts or the UK Subs, but with slightly glossier production values
and lyrics that take shots at the soul-sucking, high-tech Noughties.” GARAGE & BEAT MAGAZINE concurs,
“60s psychedelia and '70s punk rage permeate this eclectic mix of angst rattled modern rock.”

The band’s live shows are always raw, emotional high-energy affairs and so far they have showcased at such venues as; the Mercury Lounge in NYC, Maxwells in NJ, and various Upstate New York clubs & festivals. They have shared the stage with the The Blasters, New Model Army, Hamell On Trial, Echoes & Shadows, the
Murder Junkies and Casey Neil. WARPARTY has been played on radio stations; WFMU, WEQX, WVCR, WVKR, WRPI,  WEXT, 104.9 The Edge, and the band has been featured on WAMC’s Performance Place, CRUMBS Radio and Kaleidoscope. THE LAST CONSPIRATORS - WARPARTY out now!

The Last Conspirators WARPARTY (Driving Rain) - " The most potent politically charged disc
of the year, walking the tightrope between punk passion and polished professionalism."

"Warparty" is a ferocious album, brimming with barbed, political protest anthems, set to

a surprisingly varied musical attack..  The high energy of Livingston's punk days is still

there for all to hear, but now there's more -- echoes of the New York Dolls, Little Steven, even Neil Young's Crazy Horse. “Rock 'n' roll keeps on rockin'.” - The Times Union

“...The Last Conspirators, a quartet that brings a welcome, Information Age crunch to the tough, melodic sounds of late ’70s/early ’80s Brit-punk; think The Clash, The Jam, maybe The Ruts or the UK Subs, but with slightly glossier production values and lyrics that take shots at the soul-sucking, high-tech Noughties. (Check out “Crash,” brimming with grinding guitars and Livingston’s hoarse, desperate vocals; or “Walking in Hellfire,” a moody tour de force highlighted by some sweltering guitar leads.) Warparty, however, isn’t just one rocker after another. The disc also features a handful of protest ballads, Dylan- and Arthur Lee-influenced tracks like the title cut and “American Son,” a commentary on
suburban alienation..” — Chronogram Magazine

“Like Mike Ness or Iron Cross’ Sab Grey, onetime Morons frontman Tim Livingston has settled into punk-rock middleagedom : still capable of the two-minute flame-thrower, but also digging roots rock, harmonicas and the mid-tempo in general, with political insight
you just don’t have when you are 19... There’s OG, Clash-ish punk rock, a John Cougar-Springsteen hybrid, artier 70’s guitar rock and even a beach-party jam... incisive and poetic... overall an engaging album “  - HARP Magazine

"On the Last Conspirators new CD, 'Warparty', the unflappably laid-back Tim Livingston sounds like he's unraveling a little; conjuring up a more deranged version of Mick Jones

of the Clash. Trust me, that's a good thing, as are tunes like the mid-seventies CBGB's

folk-rock of "American Son", the spacy guitar psychedelics of "Help", plus the ripping "Tribulation Blues" which recalls vintage Richard Hell & the Voidoids. And when's the

last time you heard a song that reminded you of Arthur Lee's "Message to Pretty"?  The title track does just that, at least to these ears.  Best of all is "Crash".  Other than the unavoidable reality that it's on a tiny Upstate NY indie with no distribution, this song has got hit written all over it. " - Here 'Tis Magazine

“60s psychedelia and '70s punk rage permeate this eclectic mix of angst rattled

modern rock.” — Garage & Beat Magazine

"Frontman Tim Livingston was an original '70s punk, leading Albany's Morons when that was brave down on the Bowery - never mind the Hudson Valley. You can deduce his age (and likely his three band mates) but you'd detect little vestige on WARPARTY. Maybe because he hasn't made an LP in 15 years (Since GHOSTRUNNER's lone Beneath the Apocalyptic Rain), or because he works at valuable '60's reissue label Sundazed - but the appetite remains for a variety of styles replete with political awareness. Reviewers flail at pinning this down, raining comparisons from Voidoids, and the Flesheaters, to the Jam, later Clash, Love and New Model Army. I hear Love, '60's blues rock balladry, ballsy post-punk mashers like 80's Australians, and dexterous guitars that prove ballast for Livingston's burning convictions like "American Son" and our in-foerclosure U.S. of "Innocent"."
