| | Left Alone CD Left Alone Discography of CDs
California breeds catchy punk rock like no other part of the country, and local boys Left Alone are no exception. Their third, self-titled album walks a fine line between street punk traditionalism and the varied pop experimentation of their label bosses, Rancid. Elements of ska, country, and pub rock abound, but all of it sounds like Left Alone. "Branded" operates on three-chord punk locomotion, with a classic shout-along chorus, but the keyboard-slicked "Bombs Away" smacks of sharp, Elvis Costello-style pop. These songs are tight and cohesive, presenting a unified vision of honest, working-class punk while gently poking the borders.
Personnel: Elvis Cortez (vocals, guitar); Billy "Chief Lottabull" Lopez (drums).
Recording information: Hill Top Studios, Riverside, CA.

Purchase Left Alone CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | 999 CD (1978) (Import) Canada
Left Alone album
$17.39 A truly neglected classic, 999's eponymous debut album was issued in March, 1978, on the back of three stunning 45s -- the romping "I'm Alive," the anthemic "Nasty Nasty," and the oddly ambitious "Me and My Desire." The first and last of these appeared on the album, together with the summer smash that never was, June, 1978's, "Emergency," and it is with these tracks as its benchmarks that 999 should be judged. A ferocious live band, the group harnessed every iota of their stage performance for the studio, turning in an album that zips past at the speed of light, in a blur of chant-worthy choruses and pogo-able riffs; even ...

| | Toasters Enemy Of The System CD (2002)
Left Alone music CDs
$11.15 You've got to hand it to the Toasters. When the third ska revival hit in the mid-'90s, they had already been on the scene for over a decade, and bandleader Rob Hingley's Moon Ska NYC label was home to some of America's (and Canada's and England's) best ska bands. They took advantage of ska's new wave of popularity by releasing a truckload of albums by young bands, and while some have criticized Moon for a certain lack of discrimination during that period, there was no question that the Toasters' own releases were of the highest quality. With the subsequent collapse of the ska revival and the partial collapse of the record industry, Moon went out of business, and the Toasters went back to doing what they do best: playing top-notch 2-tone-derived modern ska for live audiences. Their first studio album in five years shows blessedly little in the way of artistic maturation; it's chock-full of the same old straight-up, R&B-influenced ska that the band has been playing since the early '80s. Blues influences are both explicit (as in "Sweet Home Town Jamaica," a blatant rewrite of "Sweet Home Alabama") and implied (as in the song title "Sitting on Top of the World," which has nothing to do with the Howlin' Wolf classic), and tempos are generally brisk; things occasionally slow to a more sedate skank (as on the excellent "Pendulum"), but for the most part this is joyful, upbeat ska. There are two hidden tracks at the end of the album. Enemy ...

| | Pattern Immediately CD (2001)
Left Alone album
$5.89 From Oakland;Former Members Of Pee Chees,St.James Infirmary++
A superb punk rock band with wild, energetic shows, the Pattern are five guys who do a lot of flailing about while they play their instruments. They're also on the handsome side of the punk rock spectrum, and have more than their fair share of ladies in the audience. Singer Chris Appelgren is the CEO of Lookout Records, an established punk rock label out of Berkeley. His former band, the Peechees, were very much in the same vein as the Pattern. Actually, other than the fact that all the other members are different, the bands sound virtually the same. Both the Peechees in their time and the Pattern pulled the whoop-ass out of the can live, but the Pattern, like the Peechees before them, don't particularly distinguish themselves ...
| | Boils From The Bleachers CD (2005)
Left Alone CD music
$12.05 Several albums into their career, Philadelphia street punks the Boils produced their own Sandinista! with the sprawling 25-track From the Bleachers. Rather than synthesize the various strains of punk past and present that have influenced the Boils' sound, this album simply parcels them out a few tracks at a time. A little Ruts-style reggae-punk here, some Oi! there, the occasional detour into grindcore noise, and everywhere, the influence of the Dischord Records crew. Given that the band's devotion to the principles of hardcore punk means that songs rarely last past 90 seconds, this gives From the Bleachers an oddly fragmented quality. The pieces never quite fit together, with some songs that sound so much alike that it takes careful listening to make sure when one ends and another ...
