10 Best Hard Rock Power Ballads You've Probably Never Heard

4. Dirty Honey - Another Last Time

Forming in 2017, rock quartet Dirty Honey would soon go on to make music history when they became the first unsigned band to top Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs with their single When I’m Gone from their self-titled EP.

From herein, the L.A group would only get bigger. They opened for the likes of Slash, The Who, Skillet, and Guns N’ Roses before recording their self-titled debut album, which released in April 2021.

Harkening back to the hard rock bands of the 1980s with heavy riffs from guitarist John Notto and electrifying vocals Marc LaBelle, listening to Dirty Honey is like stepping back in time to when rock’n’roll was at the height of its power. And tucked away as the final track on this record is Another Last Time.

This track is more laid back in style compared to other power ballads, but what the song lacks in operatic synths, it more than makes up for in raw charisma and musicality.

Listeners feel every ounce of tenderness that Natto pours into every note of his bluesy guitar riffs whilst LaBelle’s soulful vocals elevate this track into a glorious modern rock anthem.
