Editorial Reviews

The uber-hip environ that is today's Lower East Side couldn't be further from the stomping grounds of legendary squatting vagrant punkers, Choking Victim, whose personnel included future members of ska/punk legends No Commercial Value, and the infamous Leftover Crack. The band was formed and rehearsed in what was known as C-Squat, in the now fashionable Alphabet City neighborhood. This explosive and abrasive group expressed transient and drug addled lifestyles through its surprisingly satirical take on the Rocksteady style, which they dubbed 'Crackrock Steady'. Breaking up only a day after recording their full length, this band spawned many viable offshoots, and inspired countless others. The album that was salvaged from the wreckage of their sole recording endeavor is a testament to the raw talent of its members.

This review is from: Crack Rock Steady/Squatters Paradise (Audio CD)

a friend of mine told me something the other day... and it's so so true...

"i love leftover crack...it's like...METAL SKA. but then there's choking victim...which is just SKA METAL."

then i pointed out that they weren't really metal so much as they are really hard at times. but anyway...

get this now. if you have mediocre generica - leftover crack then you're familiar with the song Born To Die...but this version isn't so...sparkly. it's really good though. so buy this.

This is just raw, uncut, unreheresed, punk. All the songs are great. I don't see how anyone could not enjoy songs like "Choking Victim" & "Apple Pie & Police State". If you like Leftover Crack, and you are not sure whether to get this or not, just do it, you won't be dissapointed at all.
