We are a punk rock and roll band from Kansas City, MO, hell bent on doing our best to bring positive change to the world. We try to stay on the road as often as possible, so keep your eyes on our calendar, and come hang out with us some time. We're all relatively nice guys, and we suffer only minor hinderances in our ability to communicate. We've been on tour in support of our most recent release "Premeditated Insanity" since this past January, and the end is nowhere in sight. Pittsburgh-based activist/skateboard organization Stay Vocal (www.stayvocal.com) has been cordial enough to send us across the entire U.S. on what has been dubbed "Stay Vocal or Shut Up! The Proverbial Knowledge vs. Your Mouth" tour. We'll be hard at it until at least August, when we hope to record our next full length "Rocket Surgery." If you're lucky, we might even sneak an acoutic EP in there somewhere just to keep you coming back. You can preview some of our tracks right here on myspace. You can also hear songs off of our 2005 release "Skeletons In Your Closet." In fact, you can stream that entire record on our website. If you like what you hear you can purchase it at www.bentleft.com, but we highly recommend just coming to a show and getting us sedated enough to cut you a sweet deal. That's how we do. What do you love?
TOUR IS CANCELLED
Well everyone i am very sorry to say that we have been forced to cancel the remainder of our current tour. Vallerie (our van) has been continuously breaking down since march 1st and has finally gotten the best of us. We have managed to exhaust every resource, friendship, and professional tie at our disposal and simply have no way of making Vallerie work good. Our sincerest apologies to all the promoters, venues and bands we had shows planned with. We have never cancelled a show until this year and it kills us to do it. We are sorry but will be back as soon as possible. To anyone that had planned on coming out and kicking it with us we are also very sorry. We are planning on going home, writing a new record, buying a new van, and hitting the road with an invigorated sense of good old fashioned drunken party spirit by the end of the year. We will be going everywhere fast when we make it back out so think of some good shit to talk when next we meet. We'll see you all soon.
Thank you for being our friend and for your continued support. Our new album "The Silver Lining" will be released August 26, and our new single "MisSunderstood" which has just gone to radio stations across America will be released on iTunes July 8th! If you want to check out a preview of "MisSunderstood" go to our profile and listen now! Be sure to also keep checking your bulletins for messages from us for up to the minute news, NEW tour dates, and contest info! Thanks again for all your love and support, and KEEP IT LOUD.
DONT MIND THAT KANSAS CITY HITMEN COMMENT...COME SEE US AT THE RIOT ROOM FOR THE FASHION SHOW... P.S. hey josh,...ryans modeling in it and i'm sure he'll look real good for ya.
I just released a new full length for free to download. I think Josh was kind enough to check out my last release (and crack jokes about my lack of drummer), pretty sure he'd be surprised at how far I've come in a few months.
Hi boys. Hope the transportation and money troubles are looking better since the last time I heard from you. And hope to see you in Muncie again this fall. :]
