Everyone’s favorite band that isn’t Mclusky but kinda still wish that they were Mclusky, i.e. Future of the Left, will be embarking on an October tour of the U.S. to the delight and chagrin of hecklers and, uh, moms everywhere?

To quote inimitable words that continue to ring so painfully true in the hearts and blogs of stifled and misunderstood teens worldwide, “Parents just don’t understand.” Just ask Future of the Left message boarder gapu:

Not a minute, ago my mum was complaining about the noise. once again!!!

I was playing Small Bones Small Bodies, and she asked me: "what’s that noise?". like this isn’t even music... I told her this is the best so-called "noise", since over a year….i can’t imagine better parents than mine... but i don’t really like it when they call the stuff i like as "silly antics" or something like that.

Man, when will parents ever get it? This so-called “noise” is the expression of our universal yet uniquely distinct search for self-discovery— and the desire to rock-out. But you know who does sympathize with your frustration and crumpled pride? Future of the Left do. That’s why the Cardiff-based trio, comprised of Mclusky alumni Andy Falkous and Jack Egglestone and Jarcrew’s Kelson Mathias, kick of their tour with Ted Leo & the Pharmacists and Against Me! September 30 at the Workplay Theatre in Birmingham, Alabama. “Silly antics.” Sheesh.
