The Future of the Left Is Not Barack Obama

Well, it's not. It's a Welsh band! Future of the Left (MySpace) is known as an alt-rock supergroup, due to the fact that it is made up of former members of other alt-rock bands (Mclusky and Jarcrew). Supergroups aren't always so super, but we're pretty impressed with Future's debut album, Curses! It's got a fun, punk-like sound, with clever, funny lyrics and great beats. Sometimes they sound like Shellac, but they don't get nearly as repetitive. We particularly like "Fingers Become Thumbs!", "Kept by Bees," and "Small Bones Small Bodies." So check out the band when Y-Rock welcomes them to the Electric Factory tomorrow night, along with Against Me! and Ted Leo & The Pharmacists.
