California’s Left Alone return with Some Days, the third single from their upcoming album True to Form, due later this year via Smelvis Records. Blending melodic punk urgency with ska-stained grooves, the track is a sharp reminder that nearly 30 years in, Left Alone still know exactly how to hit.
Formed in 1996 and led by Elvis Cortez, the Wilmington-based band built their rep through relentless DIY touring, early Warped Tour stints, and a no-frills sound that fused street punk grit with two-tone bounce. Some Days stays true to that foundation while sharpening the edges—big chorus, tight rhythm, and just enough horns to push it into classic territory.
Lyrically, the song hits that spot between frustration and defiance, riding a mid-tempo swing that feels made for both pits and sing-alongs. If this single’s any indication, True to Form could be one of their most dialed-in records yet.
Already buzzing on Ska Punk Daily and making waves on fan playlists, Some Days is proof that Left Alone still bring it—with clarity, conviction, and heart.
