Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Oglio Entertainment Group) - Crappy Records/Oglio snags Portland Maine's best Post Punk act, The Leftovers, and immediately release their Telephone
Operator EP featuring the new single 'Telephone Operator' and their signature track 'Dance With Me', available now with bonus material (and also as ring tones). The Leftovers full length "Eager To Please" is set for a June 9th 2009 street date. "Eager to Please" was produced by
Linus of Hollywood and features Kim Shattuck from The Muffs,
Brett Anderson from The Donnas, Parry Gripp from Nerf Herder, Coz Canler from the Romantics and Jon Rubin from the Rubinoos.
The Leftovers formed in 2002 and road tested a sound over 350 dates and two continents that successfully combines the classic vibe of The Beatles and the Beach Boys with the Power Pop of Elvis Costello, The Romantics and the Rubinoos, while keeping the upbeat energy of the Ramones and The Queers. The Leftovers songwriting skills and powerful live show caught the attention of Crappy Records as well as Pop Punk cult icons Ben Weasel (of Screeching Weasel fame) and Larry Livermore (founder of Lookout Records).
The Leftovers new label, Crappy Records, was formed by Oglio Records executive Carl Caprioglio, producer Linus of Hollywood and Bowling for Soup front man Jaret Reddick, with the new label distributed by the Fontana/Universal label Oglio Records. "The Leftovers are a freakin' breath of fresh air! They are fun, fascinating and rockin'! And most of all, chicks dig 'em!" - Jaret Reddick from Bowling For Soup
