Review by Anoop Mathew

Live in Calgary by Everybody Left: A Lo-Fi Love Letter to Rock’s Edgy Underbelly Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Live in Calgary by Everybody Left isn’t your glossy, overproduced stadium anthem—it’s raw, scrappy, and wears its heart (and distortion pedals) on its sleeve. Released in 2013 via Outer City Records, this Canadian gem blends rock, blues, funk, and soul into a sonic smoothie that tastes like sweaty basements and late-night existential crises. And hey, if you’re into lo-fi vibes with post-punk edges and indie rock swagger, this album will slap harder than an awkward Tinder date. First off, kudos to Eric Svilpis for recording this beast. The sound is delightfully messy without being unlistenable—a tightrope walk many bands fail miserably at. Now let’s dive into some tracks because, honestly, who has time for a full play-by-play? Track one, “Treble in Paradise,” kicks things off with a punchy riff that feels like someone spilled coffee on your favorite leather jacket—annoying at first but oddly satisfying once you roll with it. The groove here is infectious; it’s got that toe-tapping, head-bobbing magic that makes you forget you’re supposed to be cool and aloof. By the halfway mark, I was already humming along like a dork. It sticks out not just because it opens the album but because it sets the tone perfectly—gritty yet melodic, chaotic yet controlled. Then there’s “Dizzy.” Oh man, where do I even start? This track hits differently. The bassline slinks around like it owns the place while the vocals wobble between confidence and vulnerability. There’s something about how the chorus sneaks up on you, all fuzzy and warm, before pulling the rug out from under your feet. You think you’ve got it figured out, then BAM—they throw in a little guitar solo that sounds like it wandered in from another dimension entirely. Hats off, guys. Hats. Off. The rest of the album keeps the energy alive with cuts like “Down to Ride” and “Premonition,” though they don’t quite hit the same highs as those two standouts. Still, credit where it’s due—Everybody Left knows how to craft songs that feel lived-in, like old jeans or a well-worn couch. They’re imperfect, sure, but damn if those imperfections don’t make them charming. So what’s the verdict? If you dig music that feels more like a conversation than a performance, give Live in Calgary a spin. Sure, it might not change your life, but it’ll definitely add some spice to your playlist shuffle game. Plus, knowing it came from Canada adds a certain je ne sais quoi—like maple syrup on pancakes, except these pancakes are slightly burnt and covered in hot sauce. Final thought: Listening to this album feels like finding a twenty-dollar bill in an old coat pocket. Unexpected, kinda rough around the edges, but ultimately pretty sweet.
