Leftöver Crack is an American punk rock band formed in 1998 following the breakup of its predecessor Choking Victim, sharing band members Stza and Alec Baillie (also bandmates in their first band that they formed together in high school: No Commercial Value) until Alec’s tragic death in November of 2021.

The band is currently recording new music and will be reissuing all of their previous albums, with the exception of their debut LP “Medicore Generica” (Hellcat/Epitaph). Manufactured and distributed by MVD in North America, Leftöver Crack’s own Recidivist Bible Camp record label released its first song and video for the track “Shooticide” from the upcoming Leftöver Crack recording: “Abandon the Precincts” aka Volume 4 on RBC records and psalms.

Song: Shootacide

Here’s a link to “the meaning” of the song “Shooticide”

The album also features two songs recorded during the “Constructs of the State” LP sessions: “The Dead,” co-written by Stu Daly of Dublin, Ireland’s legendary “Chewing on Tinfoil” aka “Chewie” and Stza. It features vocals by the late Erik Peterson of Philadelphia’s beloved Mischief Brew. The second track, “Manger Danger,” was co-written by Stza with the Huntington Beach-based team of Brad Logan and Donny Morris, who also played together in the hardcore band “Rats in the Wall.”

Leftöver Crack’s current touring line-up consists of Scott Sturgeon aka Stza Crack (vocals, guitar, synth), Tibbie X (vocals, synth), Marc Cody (bass, vocals), Skunk Chelovec (guitar, vocals), Jon Yi (guitar, vocals), and Ethan Nickles (drums). Leftöver Crack has both defied genre pigeon-holing while creating the “Crack Rock Steady” music genre (along with LöC predecessors Choking Victim & No Commercial Value), which mixes anarcho-punk with ska, hardcore, garage, crust-punk, and the gloriously unholy metal trifecta of thrash, doom, and death.

All of this and many other styles are combined with grating crust-punk vocals delivered with a snotty, snarling attitude by a multitude of genders, and an endless list of vocal and musical inspirations. These influences include vastly contrasting forms of top 40 pop from the last 50 years, to 90’s hip-hop, early 80’s goth, late 80’s “alternative,” indie rock, and most styles in between and outside of every box. The lyrical content is of a radical leftist nature, opposing religion, capitalism, authority, and prejudice.

Members of Leftöver Crack’s band and crew reside at C-Squat near Tompkins Square Park. Band members have had a well-known history of back-and-forth conflict with the NYPD, which precedes the band’s formation. The name “Leftöver Crack” is explained by Stza as being “an oxymoron,” based on the idea that crack cocaine addicts are known for vigorous use and are unlikely to have any “leftover(s).”

Leftöver Crack’s band members and collaborators have been in a plethora of other bands, both punk and otherwise, with recognizable names such as: Suicidal Tendencies, The Coup, Dead Milkmen, Nausea, The Beastie Boys, Reagan Youth, Dwarves, Choking Victim, Skarp, F-Minus, D.R.I., Bouncing Souls, Union 13, Dead Kennedy’s, Crass, NOFX, Riverboat Gamblers, Big Black, GASH, Street-Sweeper Social Club, Anti-Flag, The Adolescents, Star Fucking Hipsters, DayCare Swindlers, the Distillers, Phobia, The Hold Steady, Lard, X-Possibles, Operation Ivy, INDK, Band of Horses, informal Society, MDC, No Commercial Value, Jello Biafra, John Cougar Mellencamp, World/Inferno Friendship Society, The Infirmities, Classics of Love, Destruction Made Simple, Scoflaws, Total Chaos, Henry Thugsworth & the Severinator, Hepcat, Lagwagon, and many many others…
