Left-wing activist rockers the Last Internationale had already been performing and recording for five years before bringing in Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk for their new album, We Will Reign, which came out last week. We caught the band's set at Lollapalooza earlier this month and chatted with vocalist Delila Paz, guitarist Edgey Pires and Wilk later in the day. Any set in which the artists use their between-song banter to call for "the release of all political prisoners," in particular jailed Native American activist Leonard Peltier, demands to have a similar amount of musical fury to accompany the rhetoric, and the band backed it up. The trio told us about the compact two-week recording process for We Will Reign, what their first rehearsal was like, and why lyrics are so important. They also shared an acoustic performance of the album's title track.
