Future of The Left
Curses
Beggar’s Group USA

According to my genealogy, my ancestors crossed the seas to the United States from the isle of Wales long ago. I only mention this because that’s also the motherland of rock voyagers Future of The Left. Ever heard these guys before? The sound is a thick stop-beat rock with fuzzy guitar suggestive of Fu Manchu or The Fall, but with a funk-influenced hardcore yelp. The opening track on Curses is an enjoyable ear-beating, setting a mood that I wish they would have sustained throughout the rest of the album. The other dope track is the closing song, “The Contrarian”, which peculiarly sounds nothing like any of the others. My synopsis? This album is a dozen so-so blasts sandwiched between two distinguishing good songs. – Kelly D. Williams, Mannerist Zine
