Future of the Left - "Manchasm"


Remember Mclusky? It was a sad day when they called it quits. But 2/3rds of the band (Andy Falkous & Jack Egglestone) have been reborn as Future of the Left. And guess what? They're even better than Mclusky. Their debut record, Curses is stacked from top to bottom with great songs. They're the kind of songs where, each day, a line from a song gets stuck in your head and you find yourself walking around saying/singing shit like "violence she solves everything," "why put the body where the body don't wanna go" or "grow into your body happily."

The video above lets you pick your lyrical poison. Will you be singing "all he ever wanted was a detonator" or "Colin is a pussy, a very pretty pussy?"

who are they? I liked this though I think the whole "pussycat" thing would get old after a couple of listens.

Future of the Left is 2/3rds of the Welsh band Mclusky, who were around for a few years and left behind some solid albums. They were also a great live band. Saw them once at Bottom of the Hill and they sounded massive, but no one moved at all. It was sad. FotL, I think, is even better than Mclusky. Their record, Curses came out in the UK last year and I think it's out here now. If you liked this song, you should check it out.

Colin is the drummer's cat and I think he's the one in the video too. The "Colin is a pussy" chant is funny and catchy at first, but yeah...I guess it would get old.
