Natives of New York City, band members have a well-documented history of back-and-forth conflict with the NYPD which precedes the band's formation.[1]. The name "Leftöver Crack" is explained by Stza as being "an oxymoron", based on the idea that crack cocaine addicts are known for vigorous use, and are unlikely to have any "leftover" crack.
Leftöver Crack was formed with a higher production value than Choking Victim. LöC, combined with Choking Victim and two other bands, Morning Glory and INDK, share a total of seven members between them. These seven musicians are collectively self-labeled as the "Crack Rock Steady Seven." The line-up of Leftöver Crack changes fairly often, drawing on members of other NYC punk bands such as The Stockyard Stoics and The X-Possibles, with Stza, Alec and Ezra the only completely permanent members (Though Ezra was absent for most of the few 2005 gigs due to a blood infection). Brad Logan, or "Brad Minus" from F-Minus was not around for Mediocre Generica.
They have been banned from performing in many venues in New York City, such as ABC No Rio, the Knitting Factory, and North 6th; however, they still play at banned venues sometimes, usually under different disguises or Sturgeon individually as a solo act.

Leftöver Crack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Don't be scared, this is the devil doing his work."
The lyrics of Leftöver Crack's song Interlude are short yet haunting, with two lines that convey a powerful message about fear and evil. The song starts with the line "Mama, I'm scared," which implies a sense of vulnerability and helplessness. The response from Mama, "Don't be scared, this is the devil doing his work," adds to the sense of horror and despair. It suggests that the cause of the fear is not something that can be easily overcome, but rather a force that is beyond human control.
The lyrics also raise questions about the nature of evil and whether it is something that can be attributed to a single entity such as the devil. The idea of the devil doing his work implies that there is an active force of darkness, working to cause harm and destruction. This concept is particularly relevant to punk rock and alternative music, which often explores themes of rebellion, chaos, and societal decay.
Overall, the lyrics of Interlude are a powerful commentary on the nature of fear and the role that darkness plays in human experience. The words evoke a sense of uncertainty, foreboding, and despair, while also inviting listeners to reflect on deeper questions about the nature of good and evil in the world.

Mama, I'm scared.
I am feeling anxious and frightened, Mama.
Don't be scared, this is the devil doing his work.
There is evil happening around us, but we shouldn't allow it to terrify us. It's just the manifestation of the devil's actions.
