Sometimes it's quite funny. You think you know everything, and then it turns out completely differently. That's exactly what happened to me with LEFT ALONE. They are on Hellcat Records, which speaks for quality, and are compared to Rancid. Well, many bands are compared to Rancid, but especially when I listen to the first songs of the band, a comparison with Rancid is not wrong. The songs come across as very melodic and catchy. Finest melodycore sprinkled with a pinch of ska and a pinch of country.
Only the sixth song slows down the tempo a bit and presents itself as a nice sing-along song. After that, however, the gas pedal is pressed down again, and a pure pogo number comes with “Brindle“. The band has managed to craft sophisticated yet catchy melodies while still sounding unique.
In the further songs, an organ is even used at times, which adds additional groove to the songs. When the organ gets to play a short but intense solo like in “Intermission“, you almost feel like you're in the 60s. Overall, the organ supports the songs more than it dominates. This shows how skillfully the band uses the organ to give the songs even more drive and groove.
It's hard to categorize the band since the music is very diverse. The guys play around between Rancid, Social Distortion, and Green Day, while showing their own profile.
“Left Alone“ have delivered a real hit with their self-titled third album. Musically demanding, catchy, diverse, and certainly with critical lyrics about the world and its society in tow, we have a new star in the melodycore sky.
