Uncle Lucius LIVE at Lake Houston Brewery!!

Second chances are rare in rock ‘n’ roll. Most bands only get one shot at the brass ring, and once the opportunity passes by, it’s gone forever.

Maybe that’s why Uncle Lucius sounds like a band reborn on Like It’s The Last One Left, a cathartic comeback album that reunites the platinum-selling group — and pumps new blood into its roster — after a five-year hiatus. Written and recorded in the band’s hometown of Austin, Texas, Like It’s The Last One Left isn’t just a return to form; it’s an expansion, bolstering Uncle Lucius’ mix of amped-up Americana and greasy roots-rock with string arrangements, adventurous production, and the sharpest songwriting of the group’s career.

“There are no limitations this time around,” says frontman Kevin Galloway. “We’re exploring different areas of American roots music, and we’re doing it our own way. There’s a new perspective that comes with stepping away from something for awhile, then coming back to it. You can see it with new eyes.”

Uncle Lucius originally stepped away from the spotlight in March 2018, capping off a whirlwind decade that saw the band releasing four critically-acclaimed albums, wearing out five vans, and performing everywhere from New Braunfels to Norway. The guys were some of Austin’s most celebrated exports, supported by a cult following that rallied around signature songs like “Keep the Wolves Away” and “The Light.” Great bands don’t just build a catalog of songs, though; they build legacies that endure long after the band itself goes away. During the years that followed Uncle Lucius’ so-called farewell tour, the band’s audience increased rapidly, bringing new generations of fans into the fold. “Keep the Wolves Away” even showed up in an episode of Yellowstone and went viral, earning gold and platinum certifications along the way. As Uncle Lucius’ legacy grew, so did the desire to get back together.
