- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

   Left Alone is a punk rock/Street Punk band from Wilmington, California. They
   were formed in May 1996 by lead vocalist/guitarist Elvis Cortez. Cortez
   formed his own label, Smelvis Records, to release Left AloneΓÇÖs records, and
   has since expanded the label to include numerous other underground bands.
   Cortez was also the owner of the PCH Club in Wilmington, which is now
   defunct. Left AloneΓÇÖs music has ska influences, and the band is notable for
   adhering to a do it yourself ethic, by avoiding major labels, booking their
   own tours, and making their own merchandise.

   After releasing numerous demos, splits, and EPs, Left Alone released their
   first full-length, Streets of Wilmington, in 2002. A year later, the band
   compiled their earlier, out-of-print recordings on the anthology Left Alone:
   1996-2000. In 2003, Cortez went on the Warped Tour as a roadie. After Warped
   Tour founder Kevin Lyman heard Left AloneΓÇÖs music, he chose the band to be
   the Warped Tour BBQ band for the 2004 tour. The band were invited back to be
   the BBQ band for the 2005 tour. While on the Warped Tour, Tim Armstrong of
   Rancid heard Left AloneΓÇÖs 2004 album, Lonely Starts & Broken Hearts.
   Armstrong signed the band to his label, Hellcat Records, and re-released
   Lonely Starts & Broken Hearts. The band released their third full-length
   album, Dead American Radio, on August 8, 2006, which features guest
   appearances from Tim Armstrong and Patricia Day of the Horrorpops.
