With a band name that sounds like a onetime thing although barely a year old i know they are here
to stay, they are in fact here for all or nothing like their first single. I first
heard of the band and their performance at the second metal and romance in June.
IN THE BEGINING
1Last Autograph (One
Last Autograph) as they prefer to be written“1” not “ONE” was founded when Chike
met Tolu and Judah through a mutual friend who was also a rock fan
in Badagry , they spoke about starting a rock band and eventually
performed at the second Metal and romance in June after which Tolu left
leaving Chike and Judah to source for more band mates, they later found
Sam , then Casey then Mario who had similar interest with them and the
band was officially born.
They always had issues apart from finances, they had problems with rehearsal ground as they couldn’t find a stable one especially with band
mates living far apart like the guitarist Sam who had to come all the way from
Ikorodu for rehearsals
They are in the process
of being signed by a record label but currently managed and co-managed by Sagay
Reginald and Famutimi Femi
LIST OF SONGS
The band’s feature with
rock artist clay was the first I heard from them and like most people I
was impressed and especially taken by the growl, we could say it was the first time a growl was officially heard in a Nigerian song and i commend them for that. Personally i can’t wait to
hear the song performed live at least to see growl and drum come to Life.

1 LAST AUTOGRAPH
when we asked the lead singer what 1LA means this is what he has to say
"1 last autograph symbolizes this unsatisfactory nature of man, one more this and one more that, we just never get enough. We just keep pushing our limits trying to create something new something worthy of an autograph. like we have car companies come up with new models, movies getting crazier, artist being expressive, porn getting more seductive. this world is just fucking crazy, the moment we hold on to some new stuff, a better one comes. in a nut shell the essence of life being more creative never having enough. that is what makes us want to keep on living"
i personally love this band, maybe its because i see the struggle they have to go through to be heard and yet they keep on going, maybe its harder because of the region we are and the fact that the rock genre is a growing genre here, sometimes i define uniques, creativity and good stuff as something an average Nigerian wouldn't appreciate, so in my own words i see the band at the last autograph i need to collect or have that would last forever, that one last thing that when you get you'll need no more, i hope to see them sellout venues in a short time but that would only happen if we hold on to this genre that we love and let it be heard

Questions
We love to ask two questions
and this originated from the Rockaz World Whatsapp Group
1) If an orphanage needed your nude to survive would you present it?
2) Do you prefer Yellow Garri or Ijebu garri
1) If an orphanage needed your nude to survive would you present it?
2) Do you prefer Yellow Garri or Ijebu garri
When we asked the band
mates this was what we got from those that answer (^ _-)
Question 1
Chike said " he would send" .So yay for the orphans? How much would that fetch?
Judah said "i'll go nude if the orphan was a chic and was in front of him" and so the orphan got pregnant , married judah and gave birth to eleven more
Sam said "i will love to send nudes, since its for charity" . so the some orphans went on to be doctors and some reality starts
Casey said "yes i would" now that is a hero
Mario said "NO" after which the orphans left his apartment sad and fell over the bridge
And the managers Sagay and Femi refused to share the nude so the orphans died of starvation

Judah said "I prefer ijebu Garri"
