The Leftovers have announced some upcoming dates in support of their new full length, Party Tonight!. The pop-punk has earned high profile endorsements from Screeching Weasel's Ben Weasel who said:
I can't recall a great band ever having come from Portland - or anywhere else in Maine - but now the Black Fly State can claim the Leftovers, not only the best band from Maine, but quite probably the best band in underground melodic rock music right now.In spite of a fairly diverse set of influences they're considered to be part of the "pop-punk" genre (a genre in desperate need of a more appropriate name, and not "buzz pop" either, as some feebs have been calling it). To these ears they're a bit more in tune with balls-to-the-wall rock than most of their contemporaries but I can sort of see the connection; the Leftovers not only rock your socks off - they actually know how to write a song, too.
You can check out some music on their myspace page.
