At the blistering hot Aftershock Festival 2014, we caught up with Delila Paz and Edgey Pires of The Last Internationale for a raw, unfiltered conversation. From their debut album to their views on the music industry, activism, and life on the road, nothing was off-limits.The band was formed by New York City guitarist Edgey Pires and vocalist Delila Paz.

In January 2013, they released a 5-song EP titled New York, ‘I Do Mind Dying. Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello introduced the band to his bandmate, drummer Brad Wilk, who subsequently joined the band. Their debut album, We Will Reign, was released on August 19, 2014. The album was produced by Brendan O’Brien and Brendan Benson.

The band made their network television debut on August 27, 2014, playing “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Indian Blood” on the Late Show with David Letterman. They will be opening for Robert Plant in the fall to support his Lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar tour.
