Let's talk about how amazing Mclusky are (were) for a second. Here, I will start:
SO AMAZING.
How had I not heard of them at all until a couple of months ago? This sort of thing makes me feel cheated.
I was fortunate enough to see them three times, once with The Fall, and they were excellent. I see Future of the Left as a natural continuation though, they're just not as straight-ahead face-rippers. McLusky were a huge influence on my old band and I got to know Jon (the bassist who formed Shooting At Unarmed Men, then emigrated only to reform the band in Australia) well just before the end. Lovely guys, but so is Kelson (who was in the mighty Jarcrew - check the clip beneath this) too and I hope anyone who went for Teddy Rockstar went down early for these guys.
