From First To Last Interview – Matt Manning, Blake Steiner – ‘Throne to the Wolves’

by | Mar 23, 2010

It has been quite some time since I last sat down with the From First To Last gentlemen. In fact, my previous interview with the band was about Sonny Moore quitting the group, working with Ross Robinson on “Heroine”, and Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit filling in on bass for a few tours. Things have since changed.

In the past year alone, From First To Last has put out a new album, signed to a new label, had a lineup adjustment.

I caught up with Matt Manning and Blake Steiner to catch up on the past few years, talk about the band’s latest release, “Throne to the Wolves”, and find out what exactly happened to Travis Richter.

Beginning with Steiner discussing when he joined the band, here is From First To Last on Ryan’s Rock Show:
