The Last Cigarette was formed in November 2010 by Josh Armstrong (guitar/vocals) with members Nathan Taylor (bass/backup vox) and Randy Hill (drums), just one month after Armstrong's relocation from Amarillo, TX. In April of 2011, Randy Hill parted amicably from the band, and was replaced by Peter Bas of Commie Hilfiger. The new lineup has since flourished, and their first 5-song EP was recorded in December 2011.
