Architects of Self-Destruction: The Oral History of Leftöver Crack

Architects of Self-Destruction: The Oral History of Leftöver Crack

by John Gentile Author and Brad Logan Author

Explore the band's entire history by speaking to the band members themselves, fellow musicians, their fans, and of course, those that still hold a grudge against the LoC. Leftöver Crack is a band of drug abusing, dumpster diving, cop-hating, queer positive, pro-choice, crust punks that successfully blend ska-punk, pop, hip-hop and death metal genres. They've been banned from clubs, states and counties, kicked off multiple record labels and received teen-idol adoration and death threats from their fans. With full-scale riots in Phoenix and NYC, getting punched out by their own fans, showing up to tour Florida with machetes after receiving death threats from the local gang while leaving a trail of destruction in their wake; below the crusty, black metal-patch encased surface, you'll find a contemplative, nuanced band that permanently changed the punk rock community.
