Formed in Cardiff, Wales in 2005 by ex‑Mclusky members Andy “Falco” Falkous (vocals/guitar) and Jack Egglestone (drums) with Kelson Mathias (bass/keys, ex‑Jarcrew). Key releases include Curses! (2007), Travels With Myself and Another (2009), The Plot Against Common Sense (2012), Polymers Are Forever (2011, EP), How to Stop Your Brain in an Accident (2013), and The Peace & Truce of Future of the Left (2016).

DeBaser’s reviews paint Future of the Left as a furious Welsh noise-rock/post-hardcore force with sharp riffs, sardonic lyrics, and taut rhythms. Curses! gets praised for manic keys and punchy grooves; Travels With Myself and Another is lauded for tight, distorted rock and hook-smart choruses. How to Stop Your Brain in an Accident draws mixed notes for accessible turns but retains bite. Overall sentiment skews positive.
