The Leftovers

Back 1977, the Deceased Guys named their debut album Young, Loud and Snotty. 2 decades afterwards, those same adjectives might have been utilized to spell it out the Leftovers, a snarling, irritated music group that was created in Sweden in 1996 but recalls the American punk agitators from the past due ’70s and early ’80s. The Leftovers, whose music is definitely punk with hard rock and roll leanings, shouldn’t be confused having a Chicago-based country-rock/origins rock outfit which has utilized the same name; in November 2001, that Windy Town clothing announced that it had been planning to switch its name to completely Spent. Sweden’s Leftovers aren’t known for subtlety or understatement — just like the Deceased Boys, Dark Flag, the Plasmatics, and additional U.S. rings from punk’s early years, the Leftovers favour a forceful, extremely in-your-face approach. Additional valid comparisons consist of Iggy & the Stooges as well as the Weasels (the LA music group that sang the infamous “Defeat Her Having a Rake”). The Leftovers (whose lineup includes vocalist Mr. Match, business lead guitarist Pete Savage, guitarist Nikki Violent, bassist Nick Skrewdriver, and drummer Rob Riot) result from a nation where Swedish, not British, is the main vocabulary. But like a lot of Scandinavian rockers — punk, alternate, metallic, power pop, and normally — the Leftovers record in British exclusively and also have a strong control of the vocabulary (which isn’t amazing considering that fluency in British is urged in Sweden’s general public school program, and that lots of Swedish musicians find out the lyrics to American and English rock songs young). In 2000, the Swedes authorized with Fueled Up (a Necropopolis subsidiary) and documented 667: The Neighbor from the Beast.
