Biography
Leftover crack formed out of the breakup of a couple of bands, and spent the beginning of their career, recording onto a four-track mixer. They would write several songs with their complete line up, fortunately landing a record deal with Bankshot! Records in March 2000. They released their debut “Rock the 40 Oz, on the label on March 8th 2000. Shortly after, the band parted ways with Bankshot! and signed to Hellcat Records for a three album deal. The label however, refused to release the politically incorrect album due to it’s title “Shoot The Kids at School”, which was in regard to the Columbine Shootings. The band forced to change the name of the album to “Mediocre Generica” and the album was released on September 11th 2001.
On August 20th 2004, the band released their second full-length album entitled “F*ck World Trade”, which was banned in many music retailers such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Music Land because of the controversial name and subject matter. Despite the controversy, the band were a little more free on their recording experimenting with various genres such as death metal, classical and folk music.
A couple of years later, the band signed to Fat Wreck Chords, and released a split single with the British band Citizen Fish. Leftover Crack had developed a reputation as a live band too, embarking on many international tours.
Live reviews
Missed bad/cop, intro5pect killed with the new singer. Danny rocked the set while shooting the crowd with a heavy hit of unexposed virgin energy, which carried well through the night. Next up Final Conflict, in place of dayglo abortions. In My opinion, big shoes to feel. I was a little butt hurt about that switch but I gotta admit, the band was well placed. The years of experience showed as they rocked the set while (after reading the crowd) they took a min to pay attention to all the punk wemen for pushing the sceane forward. Thank you. Ok the next band was the crusty punk acoustic punk days 4 dayz. These screeming hippies kept true to the positive energy of the night and played an amazing set which included a cover of nofx linloem hidden in a 15 min jam sesh. Kudos hippies. Now leftover crack was perfect band to finish off the evening. And they did not fail. They came out with a 2nd female singer who confidently reminding all the females what girl power sounds like, she shredded the first 2 jams and disappeared till the end. Lc finished strong with a mixture of new and classic tunes played to perfection. Then in true punk family style, the headliners brought up members of the other bands including Danny and his mysterious powerhouse female hidden in the background. Thay all proceeded to jam out showing the crowd how unified the la punk family, van really be. Thank you for the amazing night.

Leftover Crack took to the stage on one of the hottest days of the year to deliver a sweaty, energetic showcase of their best work. Frontman Stza was rather more mild-mannered in person than I’d expected, given his lyrics and vocal style, but this did not stop him from leading the band in delivering a blistering set packed with fan favourites like ‘Born to Die’, ‘Rock the 40 Oz.’ and ‘Gang Control’. The audience responded accordingly, going nuts in the pit and crowd surfing/stage diving at every opportunity. I managed to snag a coveted spot in the front row, which took the already intimate experience to a whole new level – I have the bruises to prove it! For me, someone who was really into Leftover Crack in their heyday but has become a more casual fan of late, this set of classics comprised largely of cuts from 2001’s ‘Mediocre Generica’ and 2004’s ‘Fuck World Trade’ absolutely hit the spot, taking me back to my teenage years. However, given the band’s lack of significant new output in the last 10 years, I could see this show losing its punch without the injection of some fresh material. Of course, each of the members has their own side projects keeping them busy musically, but it would be great to see Leftover Crack get a second wind and add to the nostalgia with some raw social commentary relevant to the youth of 2014.

They sang 4 to 5 songs, Stza insisted to play new song off of the new album, while guitarist Brad Logan told him we still 2ant to hear old songs... he said, No! New song first!..... they started... "fuckyou! Fuck you! Over and over for a minute and a half, then Stza stormed off to the exit... so disappointed.

Unfortunately Stza and Brad couldn't make it because Fuck the Borders. They still played great though even with a condensed set and two fill in vocalists. I busted the shit out of my lip in the mosh pit. Great show.
