In case you haven’t noticed, all the chapter titles in The Last Days are band names. Some of them are great bands, some lame, and a few I’ve never actually heard play—I just needed their names for chapter titles, okay? But for your edification, and so that you can see that I didn’t just make them up, here’s the list of all chapter names, with a little info about each band.

Enjoy.
