Leftover Crack. I love these guys. Basically they played a good mix of Choking Victim era songs, a new song, and Leftover Crack songs. Thing is, though, no Crack Rock Steady Seven songs. I was upset about that sort of. But so it goes - they play pretty much straight forward and i had to witness stza screaming first hand to actually believe such a scream was possible.

Wow. i didnt even know these guys were big. i went ot show with himsha/ big d/ and death by stereo and i thought these gys were just fillers. i started listening t them after and they are good. they turned me to have a bit of a softer side towards ska, but my INDK, cv, loc, unseen n exploited still top5 the dude who left big d was marc. he played the VALVE TROMBONE, NOT a french horn. you guys couldnt make them sound more lame by saying it was a french horn. but anyway, he left for personal reasons one being touring, so he now concentrates on Drexel. and you can still see him at almost every Big D show in the Boston Area. LOC is a bunch of trust fund kids w/ drug habbits masquerading as punk rock. All they care about it money. someone commented to something i left about marc leaving for drexel. and yes...i know very much that drexel has been around for as long as big d, well not as long but close enough, and yes marc has completly left. he left before the last halloween show. he is just in drexel. To the canadian who was saying that Big D won't come back in Canada for 4 years... well that isn't true. The band was banned from Canada for a year and Dan, their trumpet player for 5 years. Thanks to our dears custom agents. Fuckers. Big D will be back in Canada this summer! True, 5Bucks rules! Everyone that likes Big D should check them out as well. I like both LoC and AF... overheard at a LOC show in canada: Anti-flag sucks balls. LOC are squatters who live the life. They watched the towers burn from their rooftops. God love 'em. Indeed, LOC is anti-preaching, whereas you go to Anti-Flag show and it's all preaching. Leftover Crack are bums, they don't need to sing about that, they live it. As far as politics go, they are VERY different from Anti-Flag. As Anti-Flag basically just says everything that has already been said, LOC is a band they relys on a lot on Sarcasm. "Shoot the kids at school" "Kill yourself" etc. Kind of like the Dead Kennedys. Do you think Jello Biafra actually went around "Killing the poor." The reason they have ill-will towards cops, cause well, if your a squatter, your main threat in life is the cops. Leftover Crack is even worse at being a political band then Anti-Flag is, and that's not an easy thing to be. Yeah dude, hating cops and the world trade center and just stirring up anger, that does alot to solve problems. In fact, neither of those are problems, just sore points that these morons are trying to push to stir up excitment about their terrible band. If you wanna talk about the homelessness problem or the education system problem in this country (as bands like the broadways and the honor system do, they give not only attention to real problems, but give solutions) then that is fine. Making rediculous blanket statments just, and this is in my opinon, to score with the mindless, anti-flag, anti-government, mostly white middle class kids is utterly lame. screw this band. the basic reason for the name thugs not hugs, is because big d is made up of insane asylum escapees. they basically wanted to make fun of how dumb music is lately & they like rapping. "This is a band who likes Crack and Killing Cops" Big D ROCK! i saw them in october in Miami, in the crappiest venue and still rock the hizzouse! Hugs Not Thugs i saw big d once in toronto nad the french horn player ruled. ilike his voice. to bad they won't be back to canada forl ike 4 years. If the person who left that last comment is still around, Yeah, I know all of drexel - but it's not like they're NEW, as they released their first album when Big D released theirs (it was the same cd, in fact, shot by lami).... so now marc has just completely left Big D for Drexel? That doesn't make sense. I remember once going to see Big D but getting Drexel because the horn section didn't show up or something like that. the name of the other guy in big d that wasnt there name is marc (c not k but either way) and he left big d around the early fall and he now plays in another band with dave the singer of big d aaron the origanal guitar player or big d and my boy todd. they are called drexel. http://www.forkinhand.com/drexel big d rule, when they played here in uk, my m8s band was supporting em, and we watched their sound check, they just jammed for 10 minutes, it was so cool w0rd up... |
