Britain has not produced a decent rock band for far too long now, there is certainly a gap in the market and Future of The Left fill that gap very well. 'Travels With Myself And Another,' is 33 minutes of fuzzed up bass lines, distorted guitars and heavy drums.
Lyrically its all very tongue in cheek, each track is cleverly written, lyrics like 'you let your manatee down and then you drowned,' show these guys have an awesome sense of humour. In fact live they are hilarious.
Their sound is an evolution of just what can be achieved with a guitar, bass and drums, with each track brutal yet hinting at something much more.
The stand out track is 'You Need Satan More Than He Needs You' changing the guitar for a distorted synth, creating a song I haven't stopped listening to since I got the album, with some more brilliant lyrics thrown in such as
'yeah sure Satan rules, but that doesn't mean I can't be practical,'
It is very apparent after listening to 'Travels With Myself And Another' that Britain needs a band like Future of The Left.
