The Last Martyr have had an impressive year not only releasing their Creatrix EP (our review here) but also playing a string of shows and slowly, but surely, making a name for themselves as "one to watch" in Australia's upcoming heavy music scene...
To wrap the year up, we grabbed frontwoman Monica Strut for a look back on her favourite releases from the year and her standout moments with the band to kick off our 2019 Year In Review series...

BEST GIG YOU’VE SEEN 2019?
We would have to say Unify 2019 was pretty fun if that counts! Most of The Last Martyr were there and it’s just a solid 3 days with mates and good bands!
BEST/MOST MEMORABLE SHOW YOUR BAND PLAYED THIS YEAR?
Our debut show at UsFest in Sydney back in April. Was so cool to be part of such an epic and important event with so many amazing Aussie bands!
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2020?
More shows! Would love to do more interstate shows so watch out!
