Left Alone Will Take You Back,
By
This review is from: Lonely Starts & Broken Hearts (Dig) (Audio CD)
Review by Rahul Chandiok:
Obviously, the entire punk rock genre has been flooded with a copious amount of bands entering the music scene in an attempt to imitate legendary bands like Operation Ivy, the Addicts, or the Misfits. Left Alone enters the punk rock genre with their Hellcat debut Lonely Stars & Broken Hearts, an explosive punk album that draws influences from the likes of Rancid, Battalion of Saints, and the Specials. This album tends to have lyrics that strongly emphasize some sort of a love relationship gone wrong. Although there are several songs on this album that deal with these types of situations, musically, the album is quite varied and includes several songs that range from the sounds of heavy-hitting punk rock to mellow and melodic ska. Songs like "Heart Riot" and "My Way" feature the fast-paced punk anthems generated by Left Alone that truly are reminiscent of the times when bands like Pennywise and Sick Of It All ruled the punk rock scene. Songs like "Broke My Heart" and "By My Side" showcase an eclectic ska feel to the band that is an interesting juxtaposition to their otherwise aggressive punk rock attitude. To say that this is the best punk rock album to come out would be an overstatement, but to say that it were an average punk rock album would serve as an injustice to this band. In the end, Left Alone produce an extremely catchy and aggressive album that caters to all those who love ska and punk fusion from the likes of Tsunami Bomb, Less Than Jake, or Rancid. If you're a bit skeptical about Lonely Stars & Broken Hearts, check out some of Left Alone's work, but if you're someone who goes for traditional punk and ska music, you should definitely make an effort to start listening to this band.

This review is from: Lonely Starts & Broken Hearts (Dig) (Audio CD)
i have heard much hype/press about this album, so when i saw it at the store i took a chance and bought it. it's good ol' fashioned street punk in the vein of rancid. it looks like they love rancid so much that there's even a song that uses "Roots Radical" as a template, which was nice, but i think if they did something more original it would've been a bit more interesting. there are a couple skaish songs that break up the monotony, of which i do enjoy. but overall, there isn't anything new here. left alone is a competent band who play good music. no mas.
