Crack Rock Steady comes to Buffalo on a Monday night, and if you know anything about Leftöver Crack, you know that is not a contradiction in terms — it is a promise of chaos. On Monday, June 22, the New York City institution brings its anarcho-punk-meets-ska-meets-crust assault to Rec Room on W. Chippewa Street, and a 300-cap room is exactly the kind of pressure cooker this band thrives in.
About Leftöver Crack
Leftöver Crack came up out of the ashes of Choking Victim in 1998, and over the years they built something that earned its own name: Crack Rock Steady, a genre-blurring collision of ska, hardcore, crust, and anarcho-punk with lyrics pointed squarely at capitalism, religion, and the state. Their live shows have a reputation for being raw, loud, and unpredictable — and in a room this size, that energy lands right in your chest.
The band is back on the road ahead of its first new full-length in roughly a decade. Constructs of the State landed in 2015, and the long-awaited follow-up, Abandon the Precincts, is due out this fall — which means this tour is your chance to hear the new material before the record drops. For a band that has never softened its edges, that is a real reason to show up.
Supporting the bill: Sadplant, The Dollheads, and World’s Scariest Police Chases — the last of whom have been logging road miles with Leftöver Crack on this run. Four bands, one Monday night. Doors open at 6:00 PM.
One heads-up: this show was rescheduled from its original April 19 date. If you already bought tickets, they’re still good — no exchange needed.
About Rec Room
Rec Room sits at 79 W. Chippewa St., right in the thick of Buffalo’s downtown entertainment district, walking distance from a dozen pre-show spots between Delaware Ave and Franklin Street. It’s a 300-capacity bar and music venue that punches well above its size on booking, pulling national acts through on a regular basis. At that capacity there’s no bad sightline — you’re close to the stage no matter where you land, which for a Leftöver Crack show is either a feature or a warning, depending on your tolerance for a pit.
