Future Of The Left
formed in 2005, Cardiff. Kelson sang in Jarcrew, Falco and Jack played in Mclusky until before both bands split in early 2005. Original line-up also included Hywel Evans (the Truckers of Husk, also formerly of Jarcrew). On one hand, Future Of The Left are a band much like many other bands are a band. Three men, wielding bits of wood and metal strung with strings and skin, often to be found playing to rooms of other men mildly intoxicated on watery dilutions of strong lager. On the other hand, however, you can take that most basic factual definition and dispose of it by any means deemed socially and legally acceptable by local fly-tipping laws. Here - this record - is why. Future Of The Left's second album, Travels With Myself And Another, is the physical representation/digital recording of a band perfecting what it means to be in a band: the tightest dynamics; the deftest and heaviest guitars; the sharpest wit; the best and most splendid clothes and hair. It is smart, not in the sense of young men cultivating fringes, posing in photographs reading Proust, but in its instinct and ingenuity, elegant fury and lyrical humour. “Essentially we write pop music, just delivered in a louder, angrier and more angular way than most other 'pop' bands,” says Jack. “Hooks, vocally or musically, are always what we aim for but if there's a great riff with no vocal melody then it's discarded. Instrumental songs are not for us.”
