THE LAST
One of the early L.A. punk rock bands was the Pandoras, an all-female band that was formed in 1983 by bandleader Paula Pierce (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica) and Gwynne Kahn (organ and vocals). Pierce’s boyfriend at the time was Shelley Ganz, leader of a garage rock revival band called the Unclaimed; while Kahn was dating Joe Nolte who was in a similar band called the Last.

And then there are the numerous albums of new music that have been released by Bomp! Records and their affiliated labels over the years; besides the bands that have already been mentioned, early examples by comparatively well known bands include those by the Pandoras, Nikki and the Corvettes, the Modern Lovers, Gravedigger V, the Last, the Barracudas, and many more. The music of many of the past UARB’s can be found on these Bomp! records.
