Synopsis

Album Description
California's Left Alone are building a reputation as one of the hardest working indie bands in the underground scene. Singing in both English and Spanish, they've managed to win over fans in the US, Mexico, and Canada, sharing stages with Voodoo Glow Skulls, Union 13, HorrorPops, The Nerve Agents, US Bombs, and F-Minus, to name a few. This, their second Hellcat release, is a 16-song sonic blast of lonely roads, drunken adventures, and lost love, incorporating elements of ska, cowpunk, and old school punk. For fans of Rancid, The Clash, NOFX, and Voodoo Glow Skulls.

CD Reviews

Solid songwriting and catchy hooks

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Elvis Cortez proves once again that he is one of this generation's finer singer/songwriters. While wearing his influences on his sleeve, he shows that the best way do be different is to be better. So yes, Left Alone will remind you of Social Distortion and Rancid, they will show that they can improve on the old formula as well. Although they are an all Latino band, they don't try to market themselves on their ethnicity or makethemselves into cultural charicairtures either (like many celt-punk bands do). They're not sell-outs either. They may not address specific culturals issues in their songs like P-K-Dores or Los Crudos, but their sound definitely comes from a Chicano heart. What may sound like a ska influence to a Caucasian fan reminds me of old cumbias my mom made me listen to. The CD only has one song in Spanish (La Pregunta) and it is a golden oldie from their underground days. This does lead one to wonder how Patricia Day got co-writing credit when it was recorded and released years ago on their own label before they even came into the Hellcat family. Noe sounds better than ever with the higher production quality and Ramrod keeps all of the songs moving. This is highly recommended for anyone who likes passionate, spirited, and fun music."
