FUTURE OF THE LEFT Latest News

Christmas might as well be here now. The rest of December should be abolished so that we can get to the New Year quicker and back to more clement weather. However this would mean I couldn’t tell you about my top 3 articles of this year by…err…me. So without further ‘ado’ here’s my Future of the Left article from the June issue of Playmusic Pickup If there...
We’ve been going on about them all year - now the mighty Pulled Apart By Horses take turns to tell us what rings their collective bells. <!--break--> 1 - Future Of The Left So the second FOTL album was released this year and we got to go on tour with them in the UK and abroad a few times and to be quite honest I genuinely think these guys are the tightest, loudest and kick...
After spending a week at the CMJ Music Marathon I was a bit worried about what music has been presenting us with lately. Most of the bands of that week seemed to be trying to cash in on trends, sounding eerily similar to each other, and blending into a huge blur that was really difficult to differentiate between. Luckily there are bands out there that can remind you of the power of rock music in...
Street Chant So here is our top 20 records of 2009 list. I use the word ‘genius’ a lot on this page, but I’m not going to apologise for it. Because it all is. <!--break-->     =20: Todd - Riot Season Brilliant, complex and joyous ear-battering LP from Todd. A noise lasagne - layers of brutal sound served up with a special sauce of audio surprises...
Matt Bigland from the mighty Dinosaur Pile Up takes his turn to give us his take on the top 10 (err, well.. 9) acts of 2009. <!--break--> 1. Well I discovered Torche this year, and they’re the only band in a long while that have totally blown my brain wide open. Like the melvins but more driving. Kicking drums, really heavy, neanderthal vocal harmonies. Amazing. Torche ...

FUTURE OF THE LEFT MP3s

You Need Satan More Than He Needs You If you read Future Of Left’s myspace blog you’ll discover that Andrew Falkous is a very complex individual who likes to express his thoughts in public. Unfortunately via email he wasn’t as talkative, preferring to leave many topics in the past, including his anger towards the individual who leaked the band’s latest album; constantly...

FUTURE OF THE LEFT Reviews

The Big Pink are a band who make me feel as if I know them already from somewhere, or else should. It’s partly why I opted to get a hold of a copy of their debut album (and was surprised that it was only a debut) – especially given that they signed to 4AD – label of Future of the Left – early 2009. After I’ve discovered the amount of hype that’s been building...
Venue: Camden Town Teaser: Lewis navigates all the gothic dope-peddling noodle sellers to bring us this report on Acoustic Ladyland, Official Secrets Act and Future Of the Left! Pull quote 2: they left one half of the crowd rapturous - and the others cowering in the corner of the venue… First para: Saturday evening began with a case of deja-vu involving...
Venue: Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff Teaser: Surreal, fucked up, incredible - there are many ways to describe Future Of the Left. We sent our new Cardiff correspondant Richard S Jones down to Club Ifor Bach to think up some more of them. Pull quote 2: FotL are now masters in the art of musical abuse – and they render the very idea of regularity obsolete… First para...
Do not go to Siren Fest hungover! This should be a rule that’s written on the post because it is a pretty awful feeling to stand in the sun on one of the warmest days of the year when you were drinking till 4am the previous night. Yeah, sometimes my decision making is not what it’s supposed to be at this point in my life, but I did my best to battle the hangover and my sudden aversion...
Venue: Astoria, London Teaser: Mat Beal invades the NME Awards tour to see which rock stars are proudly sporting the sponsor’s hair gel. As you might have guessed, his survey results are meagre. But then who’s complaining when Les Savy Fav are performing in knee high boots? Pull quote 2: Frontman Gareth certainly isn’t afraid of biting the hand that feeds,...
