Editor's review
Few bands can charge their politics with adrenaline quite like Leftover Crack. These pissed-off pranksters take the original agenda of Operation Ivy and infuse it with the righteous indignation of Rage Against the Machine. While many bands whine about the current political situation, Leftover Crack is doing something about it.
Biography
Ska-punk collides head on with hoarse vocals and political hardcore as NYC squatters Leftover Crack join the Alternative Tentacles family. For their first full length album in 3 years Leftover Crack expand upon the things that made them so memorable in the first place, the ska backbeat, the sing-along mob choruses and full on punk rock intensity, and take it forward into the future, experimenting with their sound in unpredictable and surprising ways.
After 2 albums for Hellcat Records (one as Choking Victim), Leftover Crack joins AT's eclectic roster as a band that appeals to fans of all genres of punk, from the ska-punk stylings of Against All Authority and Operation Ivy to the NYC hardcore of Nausea and Sick of it All. Fuck World Trade, produced by Steve Albini, rocks that melodic ska-punk sound and combines it with a heatseeking taste for the incendiary, pushing the envelope in ways associated with fellow AT artists like MDC, Crucifucks and of course, Jello Biafra.
This has been released in the U.K. by our pals at Household Name. They have a special version with Tony Blair instead of Rudy Guiliani on the cover!
