Last Resort

Last Resort is a Jacksonville-born indie rock band rooted in brotherhood, authenticity, and emotional connection.  Formed in 2023 by four high school friends who simply wanted to play music together, the project quickly became something deeper. Especially for frontman and founder Jacob Skidmore.  What began as an outlet soon turned into a defining pursuit, shaping both his creative voice and his sense of purpose. Jacob first met drummer Jackson Moser in 2019, and the two began writing together in 2022. After parting ways with another band, they built Last Resort from the ground up, with Jackson even learning drums specifically to help bring the vision to life. Jacob’s older brother Tim, originally serving as the band’s manager, stepped in on bass when their founding bassist moved to London for university. What could have been a setback instead reinforced the band’s foundation: loyalty, adaptability, and belief in the music. Since then, Last Resort has grown into a relatable and heartfelt live act driven by one goal: to make people feel something real. In an interview with UNF’s Spinnaker Radio, Jacob reflected on the shift in their mindset: “We used to write just for fun… but over time we’ve found ourselves wanting our music to give people the strength to feel vulnerable.” That intention now sits at the core of the band’s identity. Not just writing songs, but creating space for honesty, both on stage and off.
