Hi! My name is Daniel Roland. I am a Connecticut based artist, currently in college studying Digital Media & Design, and focusing on the musical aspect of photography and videography. I believe the two most powerful mediums of artistic expression are music and film, and my goal is to combine them in a unique, powerful and emotionally impactful manner. I’ve been making movies since I was in elementary school, filming random stuff on my $10 camcorder and burning it onto DVDs to show my family. Now I get to do that professionally, and I think that’s pretty sick. I currently work with artists to translate their ideas into a tangible narrative that compliments their music. Everyone has a story to tell. I believe it is my calling to tell as many of them as possible.
Hi my name is Brody. Professionally known as ‘goodbyebrody.’ I am currently based in Texas, working towards my goal of turning music into my career. I started producing music in 2020 while I was living in Japan. Throughout the next 2 years, I would mess around and make beats whenever I had the time. I never had any intentions of releasing anything until I made my first song ‘flower’ with my two friends mochji & tyler serrani. We made that song in a week and had no idea it would accumulate nearly 100,000 streams across Spotify and SoundCloud. That’s when I knew I could do this. I then started 'last-ditch' with Daniel because I wanted a way for me and my friends to showcase our talents without needing external resources. Everything is finally coming together and I can’t wait for the world to see what we’ve got.
Raised in sun-kissed Arizona, singer/songwriter mochji has always had a craving for artistic expression. From drawing comic books and making bad video games in elementary school to picking up a camera and recording vlogs and editing videos in middle school. He's always wanted to master all fields of storytelling, until he discovered songwriting while producing short micro-pop songs on his school-assigned iPad at the time. He has never felt so connected to a medium since. He's always made it a goal to continue pursuing his work, even during some of the most vulnerable times of his upbringing.
Born and raised in the streets of South Central Los Angeles, eurei always saw the world as more than what he was constantly surrounded by. He saw the beauty in art in every form it can come as, but found it most beautiful in the form of music. Being raised by a musician, it was no surprise that he found interest in everything music related; And now, he plans to spread his messages and ideas through the form of music.
LOGAN25 is a bit of an anomaly in the underground music scene. With wide-scoping influences and even wider will to succeed, he did not find proper grounding until starting a band called 'no longer here' with his best friend Brody.
Hey!! I'm Toph and I'm one of the creative directors here at last-ditch, I'm here to fledge out ideas our artists have fully. I'm the youngest out of the group & starting out when it comes to music but I am very happy to be able to do this with my friends!

Elroy is no stranger to change. Developing and refining his already unique sound palette over years of releases, the Pennsylvania-raised artist has become an anomaly of sorts in the underground music scene. His mystique creates allure, leaving listeners on their toes as they wait for what’s next. This time, it’s “Crybaby,” a tight, densely saturated amalgamation of genres that flows like water, guiding the listener straight into the complex struggles of learning how to move on from a relationship.An infectiously smooth synth line rings as Elroy opens the song up, pulling back the curtain to show us what he's been working on. This loop continues, constantly building harmonies on itself before finally climaxing as Elroy's hook explodes into heavy trap drums and distorted 808s, courtesy of co-production from Chris Marek, Scro, RJ Pasin, Jacob Geoffery & Ty Lorenzo."What am I supposed to do to get over you?" repeats over and over, lulling the listener into a trance before snapping them right back out to seamlessly transition into the second verse.The pumping energy of this track never really lets up, and keeps roaring through until the last second of the 2:32 runtime.This new single should absolutely be on your radar. The adrenaline fueled vocal performance accompanied by plucky synths, punchy drums and crisp acoustic guitar makes this track magical from front to back. It’s fresh, it’s fun, and it’s undeniably VERY Elroy.You can listen to ‘Crybaby’ HERE, out now on all platforms.

THE STORY OF "PARANOID"
still from 'paranoid' music video, directed by daniel roland, 2024
From March 9th-15th 2024, no longer here travelled to San Antonio, Texas to work on music. A finalized version of the song that would end up being their lead single "paranoid" was completed on night 1, in a cramped Airbnb with a makeshift vocal booth and limited access to equipment. The day after they exported the song, they instantly teamed up with Daniel Roland to storyboard, write, and film a music video to launch alongside the song. This video is a true showcase of how far a little time, tight budget and limited plan can go when true synergy is present.
