Leftöver Crack is a band known for their drug abuse, dumpster diving, cop-hating, queer positivity, and pro-choice stance, blending ska-punk, pop, hip-hop, and death metal. They've faced bans from venues and record labels, garnering both idolization and death threats from fans. While they’ve played benefits for various causes, their chaotic presence has left a trail of destruction. Beneath their crusty exterior lies a contemplative band that has significantly impacted the punk rock community. Their catchy ska-punk, infused with references to political theorist Michael Parenti, drug use, and suicide, created a provocative sound that resonated with many. Following the release of their debut LP, an entire culture of "Crack City Rockers" emerged, reflecting both the positive and negative sides of extreme punk rock. The band has been involved in numerous controversies, including riots in Phoenix and NYC, conflicts with fans, and arriving in Florida armed after receiving death threats. This oral history captures the band's journey through interviews with members, fellow musicians, fans, and those who harbor grudges against them, revealing the complexities of their legacy.
