California punk veterans Left Alone are back with Atari’s in the Ride Tonight, a new single out now on Smelvis Records. Nearly three decades into their career, the Wilmington-based band continues to deliver the kind of fast, melodic punk that’s earned them a loyal following around the world.
Packed with driving guitars, sharp hooks, and Elvis Cortez’s unmistakable vocals, Atari’s in the Ride Tonight blends nostalgia with urgency. The title tips its hat to classic arcade culture while the music captures the high-energy punch of Left Alone’s live shows—raw, catchy, and straight from the streets of Southern California.
Self-released through Cortez’s long-running label, Smelvis Records, the track is a reminder of the band’s unwavering DIY ethos. Left Alone have always thrived outside the mainstream, carving out their own path through relentless touring and a sound that balances grit with melody.
Atari’s in the Ride Tonight is more than just a new single—it’s proof that Left Alone are still writing punk anthems built to last.
