Editing Leftöver Crack (section)

=== 1998-2000: Beginnings ===
Formed around the same time as the breakup of [[Choking Victim]], Leftöver Crack was initially an outlet for Choking Victim frontman [[Stza|Scott Sturgeon a.k.a. Stza]] to release songs that, for one reason or another, were never recorded by Choking Victim and which he claims are the "Leftover songs"—hence the name. For almost two years following the band's formation, the band consisted almost solely of Stza, who recorded many of the songs that would feature on later releases onto a four-track recorder whilst searching for band members. The band eventually solidified (albeit temporarily) around a lineup of Scott "Stza" Sturgeon (vocals, additional guitars), [[Brad Logan]] of [[F-Minus]] (guitar), [[Alec Baillie]] (bass, previously of Choking Victim), Mike Trujillo of Blindsided (guitar) and Amery "AWOL" Smith (drums, previously of [[Suicidal Tendencies]] and the [[Beastie Boys]]).

Now a complete band, Leftöver Crack proceeded to record several songs with the full lineup, including "Rock the 40 Oz.", "Crack City Rockers" and "The Good, the Bad & the Leftöver Crack"—effectively the band's "theme song". Five of these songs were later included on the band's first release, ''Rock the 40 Oz.'' 7-inch EP, which was released by Bankshot! Records on March 8, 2000.
