Reviews

Future of the Left: 29 October 2009 - Washington, DC

By Cole Stryker

Come on, people. Stop sleeping on one of the most invigorating bands to come down the pike in years. [23 November 2009]

Future of the Left: Travels with Myself and Another

By Matthew Fiander

Set Mclusky aside. Future of the Left is an excellent, innovative band. And with their sophomore disc, they outshine their strong debut in nearly every way, building energy and blunt-force inertia as they go. [17 June 2009]

Future of the Left: Curses

Future of the Left inject a little adrenaline into our ears, a jarring wake up call from the sleepy sounds of today's indie rock landscape. [14 February 2008]
