Leftovers are an Austrian band, formed 2019 in Vienna. They incorporate elements of Grunge, Punk, and Rock into their characteristic sound.[1]

Style

[edit]

The band Leftovers is best described stylistically as incorporating elements of punk, with their earlier work particularly influenced by a grunge style reminiscent of Nirvana.[1][2] However, the band emphasizes that they do not fit neatly into any specific genre, instead stating that they "make music the way [they] would want others to make music in [their] time." [1]

Leftovers is composed of a classic rock lineup featuring two guitars, bass, and drums.[3] The band cites groups like Nirvana, Pixies, and Smashing Pumpkins as key influences.[1] Their sound is characterized by a raw, gritty edge, defined by distorted guitars, occasional shouted vocals, and unpolished language.

Lyrics

[edit]

Through their lyrics, Leftovers paint a portrait of a dark, melancholic reality, blending themes of social criticism with reflections on love, intoxication, madness, and a celebration of life.[4] They released their first EP in English but shifted primarily to German lyrics following the release of their song "Tokyo" in 2022.[5]
