LEFTURN

Show Them All, That Your Fed Up!

About Me

Rock and Roll is enjoyed best in it's purest and rawest form, the sound should have the power to shock, to annoy, to exalt and to move. Lefturn, built by the Lefkowitz brothers under the gray skies of Cleveland, OH, distills rock down to it's most basic and effective components. Throbbing drums, bone-tickling guitar drenched in feedback, stalwart bass and sneering vocals collide in a gutter-sludge of cock-sure apathy.

Lefturn's grit and energy shine through on their debut EP 'I Want It All' on To The Max! Records. These five tracks are a sonic middle finger directed at high school guidance counselors and crazy girlfriends, a Polaroid of what would happen if the Sex Pistols tried to write music like Nirvana. The featured 'Psycho Bitch' begins simmering, builds with the surety of a rapid transit car, and then rips forth in an orgy of laughed-out bitterness. 'Going Nowhere' is the sound of Cleveland's forgotten youth, spending days in dusty basements dreaming of the Stooges and AC/DC, driving aimlessly from strip mall to strip mall in a bleak suburban wasteland.

Famous headliners that Lefturn has opened for include Andrew W.K., Local H, Monster Magnet, Sponge and more. Their live show has the brattiness and intensity of classic punk. Their stripped-down approach leaves listeners hungry for muddy, no-nonsense rock satisfied.
