Future Of The Left are composed of two thirds of the now defunct rock band Mclusky, singer/ guitarist Andy Falkous and drummer Jack Egglestone, and one-fifth of rock band Jarcrew, wild-eyed frontman Kelson Louis Matthias. Both bands shared a mutual admiration; both bands bit the dust in their own special way. Jarcrew released one album, got lost in their confusing maze of great ideas, and finally disintegrated shortly after their drummer left. Mclusky released three albums and finally fell to pieces under largely acrimonious circumstances, the gory details of which the curious can doubtless find recounted somewhere other than here.
Future Of The Left mix it up with the punk rock and the indie. They have songs about the skeletons of tiny children, Tories and cats. The album has been called, of all things, "devious" and they caused a mini riot at their record release show in London, for serious! http://www.nme.com/news/future-of-the-left/31377
Like Rarebit, scurvy and Bonnie Tyler, they are from Wales. Their debut full-length "Curses" is out on too pure January 29, 2008.

Needless to say, I'm diggin' it.
