Last Stop Suburbia is Allister's third release on Drive-Thru Records, released on October 8, 2002.

Recording

The band planned to enter the studio in December.[2] The band was in the studio from February 18, 2002 and planned to finish on March 18.[3] Instead, the band finished recording on May 9.[4]

Release and reception

Originally planned for a June release,[3] before being pushed back to August,[4] then early September due mixing delays.[5] Last Stop Suburbia was eventually released on October 8, 2002 through Drive-Thru.[6]

Last Stop Suburbia charted at number 9 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart.[7] The album would go on to sell 80,000 copies.[8] Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Kurt Morris said the album was full of "upbeat, poppy songs" matched with "nice melodies and songs about girls and rock & roll."[1] Morris also said it was "typical Drive-Thru Records pop-punk" fodder.[1] BuzzFeed included the album at number 30 on their "36 Pop Punk Albums You Need To Hear Before You F——ing Die" list.[9]
