Leftover Crack consists of Alec Baillie (bass/some backup vocals), Brad Logan (guitar/some backup vocals), , Candee (drums), Ezra Kire (guitar/backup vocals/some lyrics), Scott Sturgeon (lyrics/lead vocals/some guitar).
Leftöver Crack is a band that rose from the remains of the seminal ska/ punk band Choking Victim, which released a small number of very-low budget albums in the mid-90's. By the turn of the century, LöC was formed with a higher production value than anything attached to Choking Victim, and new topics were discussed.

Leftöver Crack, combined with Choking Victim and two other bands, Morning Glory and INDK, share a total of seven members between them. These seven musicians are collectively referred to as the " Crack Rock Steady Seven" (CRS7). The line-up of Leftover Crack changes fairly often, drawing on members of other NYC punk bands such as The Stockyard Stoics and The X-Possibles, with Stza, Alec and Ezra the only completely permanent members (Though Ezra was absent for most of the few 2005 gigs due to a blood infection). Brad Logan, or "Brad Minus" from F-Minus was not around for Mediocre Generica.
Leftöver Crack, in addition to the rest of the CRS7, combines elements of ska, hardcore, crust punk, and death metal. Choking Victim in particular also referred to itself as squat-core, and have also been known as crack rock steady music. the term "squat-core" comes from its focus on the lives of abandoned tenement squatters in New York City and writing songs about the poor. In fact, several members of Leftover Crack through the years have lived in a squat (which often served as a venue) located on 9th and C (155 Ave C) known as C-Squat. C-Squat references can be seen and heard on most Crack Rock Steady albums. Examples: "9C Lo-Cash crime family" & a heart with "155" written in it (from Morning Glory liner notes), "9th and C" (as heard in the background of the song "Homeo-Apathy"), and various others.
