Last Chance Anthem began with a friendship that had already made it through the darkest chapters. Songwriters Dave Tough and Justin Busch spent more than two decades creating music together. Dave survived stage-three lymphoma, then years later received a heart transplant while Justin—his best friend, co-writer, and a physician—sat at his bedside.

In 2026, they finally started the band they needed to start. Last Chance Anthem blends power pop, indie rock, and Americana into music built around joy, resilience, and connection: proof that a light can come back brighter after the darkness.
