The Leftovers - The CD Collection (4CDs, 2004-2009) COMBINED & UPGRADED

Delivering hot-wired pop-punk with sharp melodic hooks and enough energy to power a fleet of 18-wheelers, the Leftovers hail from Portland, ME, and were consist of Kurt Baker on bass and lead vocals, Andrew Rice on guitar and backing vocals, and Adam Woronoff on drums. The band garnered a true cult following within the underground pop-punk scene, getting attention from all-stars Ben Weasel and Larry Livermore - the founder of Lookout Records praised the band for "Brilliant songwriting and performances".

Hailing from Portland, Maine, the great northern seaside getaway, The Leftovers deliver the combination of sun soaked melodies and raw, driving rhythms - powerpop in the true sense of the words. Formed in 2002, the Leftovers made their recording debut in 2003 with an EP titled "Mitton Street Special". A year later, the band released their first full album, "Stop Drop Rock N' Roll". Cheapskate Records joined forces with the band for their second long-player, 2006's "Party Tonight", while Rally Records issued a three-song 7" the same year, "Steppin' On My Heart". The band toured both the United States and the United Kingdom in 2006, earning rave reviews from the likes of Ben Weasel and Larry Livermore, and in early 2007 the band went into Smart Studios in Madison, WI, to begin work on album number three. "On the Move" was subsequently released that June. The final album "Eager To Please" was released through Olgio Records in 2009, after that Kurt Baker going to solo career, and the other members of the band create a new formation - the Borderlines…

The Leftovers are the best of the new wave of pop-punk bands. This trio blew me away with their great, if uneven, 2006 release, Party Tonight but their newest album, On The Move is in a whole 'nother league. What sets these cats apart from the crowd is their unique combination of popping-at-the-seams energy, an effortless melding of heart-wrenching melodies and balls-out rock, and some of the most flat-out amazing songs I've ever heard. The result is something like the Flamin' Groovies as played by the Ramones, only a hundred times better than you can imagine. Behind frontman Kurt Baker's awe-inspiring shock-fro is a one-track mind teeming with nothing but cosmic hooks of the sort that just ruin other bands for you; this dude can write a song, brothers and sisters! I received a co-producer credit for On The Move but I'm not making a dime from the sales so you can trust me when I tell you that this album is the best damn slab of Rock to come barreling down the pike in too many moons to count. – Ben Weasel
