Back from Nowhere

Editorial Reviews
The Cutting Edge, December 1998
Poignant, insightful glimpses of relationships and not just with God, also on a human level, that with the opposite sex. Several good radio tunes here to brighten the cloudy musical forecast of much Christian radio fare. Back From Nowhere has just enough of a raucous demeanor, and a quirky lyrical slant. A group of tunes that engage my mind as often as my feet.

Release, February 1999
Music plays an influential role in people's lives, and the four members of heavy acoustic rock band Polarboy, are counting on it. Polarboy's debut release, Back From Nowhere, intrigues the listener with a fascinating display of unpredictable vocals from lead singer Pol Buckingham, while communication struggles, temptations and questions faced by Christians in different walks of life.

Album Description
What at first was a demo becomes a chart topping and award nominee for rising rock band Polarboy. Whether Christian or not this album aims at the heart of what effects us all: relationships, family, fears, failures and success. With a sound reminiscent of old U2 and REM combined with the new sounds of Wallflowers and Counting Crows. Polarboy takes basic rock into the new millennium.

Are you tired of Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys cranking out nauseating bubble gum to America's airwaves? Getting a little peeved by angry alternative music that makes you want to kick the nearest innocent bystander? What you need is some fresh, original music, where lyrics are actually interesting and the sound is anything but commercialized.

Delivering just what you may need is a fun, independent band straight out of Chicago who call themselves the Leftovers.

The Leftovers music is best described as rock complimented by a definate country influence to form a rare treat in music. Their new CD, 57 to Nowhere, was released on April 19, 2001 with 10 original songs by the band that range from a good dose of honkey tonk to pure rock and roll. From the lead track, Rodeo Bullfighter to the accoustic melody of Causing Cofusion completing the album, each song is cleaver both musically and lyrically. The full length CD is peppered with all of the good things in life worth singing about--love, women and plenty of booze.

The Leftovers consist of four Chicago natives. Frontman Tim Moran does most of the vocal work as well as some guitar playing. He is joined by Rodney Allott, bass player who lends a deep, resonating voice not only to back up but also adds a nice change by singing lead on the song Light In Charleston. Additional vocals along with the responsibility of lead guitar go to Mark Petranek, whom has been with the band for a year now, while Tom Weselak takes care of the drums.

Although the Leftovers consider Chicago home, the band relocated for two years to the Tempe, Arizona music scene whick has helped fuel the bands love and direct influence in music flavored with southwestern style from bands like the now defunct Refreshments and the current Phoneix area favorites, The Peacemakers.

Having returned from the desert, The Leftovers are currently playing around Chicagoland and promoting their new album. CD's are available through their web site at www.chicagoleftovers.com or at shows. For more information on future gigs, log onto the bands website and click on shows.

The Leftovers, as with many bands, are best heard live where the charisma of the band really comes through. They combine a playlist consisting of their original tunes as well as covers ranging from Steve Earle, the Refreshments and Tim McGraw to Tom Petty, Stroke 9 and even a little bit of Bon Jovi's Dead or Alive if Moran has an Irish Car Bomb or too much tequila before the end of the night.

So leave your home without the fear of being consumed by what big wig music moguels think you should enjoy and discover one of the many great local independent bands. Bring your friends, forget Britney Spears and get ready to tap your toes and do some shots of tequila along with The Leftovers.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2007-06-05

Some catchy stuff on this CD. Good hooks, love the singing, and this has a nice variety to it. I'm an atheist who likes metal, so if even someone like me likes it, that says something!

5 out of 5 stars Oh how I miss this band.......2007-05-08

Got to see them live a couple of times at various fests.
It's one of those cd's that got lost in someone elses player... so, I can't wait until payday to reorder it from here.
Besides the reminiscient aspect (from my college days) I just love this music. It's a southern rock meets contemporary christian .... well sort of, and I agree with the other review that talks about how the music isn't just about a relationship with God but human relationships and how they should be... it's refreshing. And you CAN dance to it... I did all night once.

4 out of 5 stars Alternative Christian Rock band I miss........2007-01-12

I loaned this CD out and never got it back. So good, I had to buy another copy.

Really enjoy 3/4 of the CD. Especially In my Shoes, and What I need. Excellent vocals. A little too metal at times, but that's a matter of opinion.

5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Excellent Album, However Obscure It May Be.......2005-12-25

My friend Paul gave me this CD in a big stack. I didnt expect much looking at the cover, but I was surprised at the high quality of this album. Polarboy is a band that should have stuck around. They would have been huge.
