Großer Personalwechsel bei Future Of The Left - das gibt Anlass zur Sorge. Was, wenn der Weggang von Bassist Mathias Kelson nun weniger unterhaltsame Publikums- und Innerband-Kabbeleien der verbalen Art bedeutet? Na gut, vielleicht hat sich auch musikalisch was geändert wo die Band nun zum festen Quartett angewachsen ist. Zumindest erwies sich die Konstellation aber gleich als so kreativ fruchtbar, dass neben dem nächstjährigen Album noch genug Material für eine umfangreiche und am 09.12. unter dem Titel Polymers Are Forever erscheinende Vorab-EP über blieb.

Future of the Left - "New Adventures" Newton runs to catch the number Nine, his shoe coming open at the toe, the wet sidewalk smacking underfoot. When it roars away, with him on it, it looks like he might just be on time for once. He squeezes past obstinate handbags and points meekly to a seat, behind the heavy door of a fat man's knees. He sits hunched and happy in his cloudy window seat, a crossword in his head and one sock damp like stepping untimely on the bathmat. A phone [...]
Usually, when Andy Falkous sets his sights on a particular group of people, they have no way to escape his vitriol. Responsible for some particularly scathing lyrics in his time (and it's impossible to overstate how much more relevant Lapsed Catholics , a rant against Rupert Murdoch and his media empire, has become, post-Hackgate), it's normally the case that when Falco takes aim, he hits the mark. The fact that Future of the Left's third album is called The Plot Against Common Sense (due out next spring) would seem to indicate that he has a lot [...]
Future of the Left "Polymers Are Forever" The obvious thing that Andy Falkous is very good at is making his making his voice hit the speakers with a blunt, violent force. This is especially powerful when paired with a sharp, stabbing riff, like the one found in the first half of this song. The less obvious thing that Falkous does well – and really, that's kind of an understatement, he truly excels at this – is in constructing songs that cycle through a series of hooks before moving on to other ever-escalating melodic patterns. It's an [...]

Click here for all the tour dates.
I had the chance to catch Lights Resolve 's cryptic performance last week at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY in honor of the release of their debut album Feel You're Different . The band, dressed in all black, drew the crowd in from the very first haunting guitar ring guitarist Matt Reich let out. It's obvious these guys are digging deep. With slates of mirror behind the instruments that the entire crowd could see themselves in during their set, it seems like the band is asking their audiences to do the same. [...]
Hablar de Future Of The Left significa traer al frente un sonido cargado de guitarras eléctricas ultra-saturadas y unas melodías pegadizas y patrones a caballo entre el punk y el rock clásico que suponen un contrapunto muy interesante. Pues bien, este cuarteto galés de noise rock ha anunciado a través de su web oficial que publicará un EP de seis canciones el próximo 14 de noviembre. Se llamará Polymers Are Forever y será la antesala de un álbum que verá la luz en 2012. El guitarrista y cantante [...]
FINALLY!! After waxing lyrically about pretty much every one of their releases and being disappointed by the cancellation of the previous tour I finally got to see Future of the Left LIVE and in person at one of Vainzine's most frequented venues the Lexington in London. FOTL rocked big time playing a mixture of newer and older tracks from albums Curses (2007) and Travels with Myself and another(2009) as well as some well received Mclusky covers. Combined with some incredibly witty banter the gig set up one stormer of an evening. [...]

Shit-Rocker Andy Falkous hat neue Future Of The Left-Songs und neue Mitstreiter am Start. Wir sind entzückt. Jimmy Wadkins an der Gitarre und Julia Ruzicka am Bass machen das bisherige Trio zu einem Quartett. Die neuen Songs liegen als Demo vor und die Briten sind ready, um das Studio zu entern. Die ersten drei Tracks zeigen: Wir haben hier weiterhin schnörkellosen Shit-Rock parat, ohne Schnickschnhack und Firlefanz. Sehr gut. Weitere Artikel [...]
Woah, 2010 was a pretty awesome year for music. This here post is evidence of that fact. What follows is a compilation of all the tracks that have been stuck in my head all year long. Definitely check out the top 20 tracks, but also make sure you scroll through the whole list. Perhaps there is something down there that you missed (maybe)? Or to put it in terms that are "so 20103, these songs are full of epic win . This is my largest year end list yet (last year's list is [...]
Ooh here's some good news. Gimme Tinnitus has posted a new track from an old favorite, Future of the Left . The Welsh band has added a female member to their mix, former Million Dead bassist Julia Ruzicka . Someone for Yukimi Nagano to talk necklaces with if their bands ever meet up.

UK postpunk outfit The Future of the Left has had some line up changes. The core of Andrew Falkous and Jack Egglestone have welcomed Julia Ruzicka and Jimmy Watkins to the band.

Future of the Left have posted links to some new demos, which will presumably eventually appear on their upcoming third studio album, on their Facebook page. It's the first chance fans will have had to listen to what the Cardiff band has been up to since their line-up change earlier in the year , other than from live videos like this one . Stream the tracks tracks below. Future Of The Left - I Am The Least Of Your Problems (demo) [...]
Here's a fast and noisy demo from Future of the Left . Their new album is definitely one of my most anticipated records of 2011. The band posted two more demos on their Official.fm site called "My Wife Is Unhappy" and "Notes on Achieving Orbit." The band has had some lineup shifts from the last record, bassist Kelson is gone and replaced by Julia Ruzicka, formerly of Million Dead and they added another guitarist, Jimmy Watkins, who also plays in Welsh band Strange News From Another Star . [...]
Truckers of Husk , who now include Kelson Mathias (ex-Jarcrew and Future Of The Left) amongst their talented angular ranks, are probably gutted about Sony's recent decision to cease production on the ol' cassette walkman - but we needn't be! Their new single, 'Awesome Tapes From Africa' (backed by the quite brilliant 'Person for The Person') is out available on cassette via the bands blog . On purchase of the cassette, you'll automatically receive the mp32s of the single, meaning you'll actually be able to listen to the tracks without pretending you're old skool enough to still own [...]
Okay, so this is my out-of-left-field blogger choice. The "Pushing Daisies" television show, short lived as it was, was about a man who had the power to animate dead for brief periods. The reason I'm including it here is because his love interest is clearly a zombie (although not the brain-eating, brain-dead, brain-rotting type), and because it was so charming. Yeah, it bordered on insipid at times, but the other films on this list I figured maybe you could use a break. Go check out the pilot ep. You'll believe that zombie stories can be [...]
