Are there any differences in the musical styling of Leftover Crack versus Choking Victim?
Sturg: Basically it was the same music that we put out with Choking Victim: Political lyrics, melodic music, punk ska-crossed metal. Give us a brief rundown of your current band mates. Sturg: Brad Logan, guitar. He was in Los Angeles when I went to record the Leftover Crack 7″ and besides having known him from overseeing the Choking Victim record in New York, he knew drummers, including AWOL who was the first drummer in Suicidal Tendencies and was at that point the touring drummer for the Beastie Boys. AWOL actually flew from the Tibetan freedom concerts in Chicago and the next day he was in the studio practicing with us. I saw a film of the huge Tibetan freedom concert and noticed that he hadn’t even changed his clothes when he was playing with us, it must’ve been a really long day for him. Alec has always been our bass player and Ezra joined up after playing in another band with Skwert for a couple of years and now we have our original drummer Ara back in the band after 4 or 5 years.
