Biography

Wilmington, Los Angeles CA, United States (1996 – present)

Left Alone is a Ska Punk band from Wilmington, California. They were formed in May 1996 by lead vocalist/guitarist Elvis Cortez. Cortez formed his own label, Smelvis Records, to release Left Alone’s records, and has since expanded the label to include numerous other underground bands. Cortez was also the owner of the PCH Club in Wilmington, which is now defunct. Left Alone’s music has ska influences, and the band is notable for adhering to a do it yourself ethic, by avoiding major labels, booking their own tours, and making their own merchandise.

After releasing numerous demos, splits, and EPs, Left Alone released their first full-length, Streets of Wilmington, in 2002. A year later, the band compiled their earlier, out-of-print recordings on the anthology Left Alone: 1996-2000. In 2003, Cortez went on the Warped Tour as a roadie. After Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman heard Left Alone’s music, he chose the band to be the Warped Tour BBQ band for the 2004 tour. The band were invited back to be the BBQ band for the 2005 tour. While on the Warped Tour, Tim Armstrong of Rancid heard Left Alone’s 2004 album, Lonely Starts & Broken Hearts. Armstrong signed the band to his label, Hellcat Records, and re-released Lonely Starts & Broken Hearts. The band released their third full-length album, Dead American Radio, on August 8, 2006, which features guest appearances from Tim Armstrong and Patricia Day of the Horrorpops.

The band released their self-titled album on April 7, 2009.

    Left alone is one of the hardest working bands out there, they do all their booking THEMSELVES, and make all their merch THEMSELVES, for fucks sake the lead singer Elvis made his own record label just to release their records before they were on hellcat, and some of you are saying that they arnt punk because they use gibson lespauls? wow! thats funny because i could name off a shit load of hardcore punk bands that use gibsons! get the fuck out of here with your bullshit, the guys in left alone are more punk rock than any of you faggots

    And how are they losers exactly? By dressing in a certain way, just how almost every other member of society dresses in a certain way to indentify with people like them. Because you never dress in fashions relating to anything like music because you are so original.

    Punk was a movement, the music aspect was part of punk, just how the clothing and hairstyles were, but it was the mentality of the people which made punk. Its knowing that you can better yourself no matter what, it is being strongminded. Its not listening to half-baked cliches about lawyer parents and things. If you need to spend a fortune to 'dress punk' then you are doing it so very wrong.

    Also when it gets to a point where dressing punk is more expensive then dressing normal that is a travesty and major irony.

    Punk is a fucking music genre and a way of life. It pisses me off though how alot of New punks contradict themselves by playing intruments and driving in their cars paid for by their parents who are both lawyers.

    Hawthorne Heights aren't emo? Well better tell their listeners to stop tagging them as that then lol. People who live punk, know it isn't a music genre. It defines you and will never die. People who post stupid comments like the one below, should concentrate on working on their grammar, rather than trolling.
