Leftöver Crack

Rock and Metal Live in Concert in Studio B at Skyway Theatre Minneapolis on Sunday, September 15th 2024!

Musically blending crusty hardcore punk, ska, and some tongue-in-cheek death metal influences, New York punk’s Leftöver Crack are best described in terms of their unapologetically leftist rabble-rousing politics. Their anti-police, anti-racism, and anti-homophobia stance was firmly established on albums like 2001’s Mediocre Generica and 2004’s Fuck World Trade, which they surrounded by a host of singles, EPs, and splits for labels like Hellcat, HellBent, and Fat Wreck Chords. Following a lengthy hiatus peppered with occasional live appearances, Leftöver Crack returned in 2015 with their third full-length, the politically charged Constructs of the State.

Leftöver Crack formed in 2000 as their parent band, Choking Victim, was breaking up. The group is based around a core lineup of singer, songwriter, and instigator Stza (Scott Sturgeon), guitarist Ezra Kire, and bassist Alec Baille, with a revolving-door drum stool that has included J.P. Otto, Brandon Possible, and Ara Babajian, who splits his time between Leftöver Crack and his own more traditional ska-punk group, the Slackers.

Menstrual Tramps is an all female punk rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota making new waves with a classic sound.
