The Left: Bigger than the sum of its parts

The Left is consistently making heads turn in the Canadian music scene. It’s rare to find a group with a live show that is a good representation of its studio albums, but The Left doesn’t disappoint. The group’s live performances leave listeners with a lasting impression and the best of what rock can be – elegant storytelling, passionate vocals, melodic guitars and a rock-solid rhythm section. The young group has been touted as “Vancouver’s next Nickelback” by the press, and much like the Juno-award winning rockers, their hard work stands out just as much as their immense talent.
