Formed in 1998, Leftover Crack is a punk rock band straight out of New York City. They are signed to Fat Wreck Chords and have developed a reputation for writing lyrics that discuss political matters.

Leftover crack formed out of the breakup of a couple of bands, and spent the beginning of their career, recording onto a four-track mixer. They would write several songs with their complete line up, fortunately landing a record deal with Bankshot! Records in March 2000. They released their debut “Rock the 40 Oz, on the label on March 8th 2000. Shortly after, the band parted ways with Bankshot! and signed to Hellcat Records for a three album deal. The label however, refused to release the politically incorrect album due to it’s title “Shoot The Kids at School”, which was in regard to the Columbine Shootings. The band forced to change the name of the album to “Mediocre Generica” and the album was released on September 11th 2001.

On August 20th 2004, the band released their second full-length album entitled “F*ck World Trade”, which was banned in many music retailers such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Music Land because of the controversial name and subject matter. Despite the controversy, the band were a little more free on their recording experimenting with various genres such as death metal, classical and folk music.

A couple of years later, the band signed to Fat Wreck Chords, and released a split single with the British band Citizen Fish. Leftover Crack had developed a reputation as a live band too, embarking on many international tours.
