{"product_id":"leftover-crack-mediocre-generica-1","title":"Leftöver Crack - Mediocre Generica","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeftöver Crack's Mediocre Generica is ska-punk dragged through the gutter of crust and hardcore, a debut that still sounds like a brick through a bank window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStza built the band out of the ashes of Choking Victim, and the 2001 debut landed on Hellcat Records with a fight already brewing. The label refused the album's original title, so Stza handed over something pointedly bland, and the joke stuck. Rancid's Tim Armstrong co-produced with Stza, keeping the chaos tight enough to hit hard without sanding off a single rough edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusically, the record lurches between offbeat skank, crusty breakdowns and gang-vocal singalongs, with organ and piano sneaking in at odd angles. \"Atheist Anthem\" turns blasphemy into a chant, \"Gay Rude Boys Unite\" makes solidarity something you can dance to, and \"Crack City Rockers\" is the crew's rowdy calling card. \"Born to Die\" brings the main run home on a grim, swaggering note. Ezra Kire's guitar and vocals give Stza a sparring partner, and the politics, aimed squarely at cops and bigots, arrive with zero subtlety and plenty of tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA quarter century on, it still feels like a flyer stapled to a pole on the Lower East Side, and it remains the front door to crack rock steady for anyone brave enough to knock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269580333361,"sku":"9120091322315","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Leftover_Crack-Mediocre_Generica.jpg?v=1793640242","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/leftover-crack-mediocre-generica-1","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
