Intrigued by the results of these sessions, songwriter and vocalist Carmen Cirignano decided to continue working on them with longtime producer and engineer Steve Poponi at the Gradwell House in Haddon Heights, NJ. It was here, with the help of bassist Tom Ryan and drummer Daniel Bogan, that these songs were transformed into the impressive debut record for a band comprised of longtime friends in the Philadelphia area music scene.
Full of swelling guitars, intricate vocal melodies and introspective lyrics, “Young Statues” is evidence of a group of musicians who have honed their skills and made a record to be revered for its beauty, tact, and honesty.

Six years of hard work and frustration by upright bassist Deadmike finally manifested itself in the form of Left For Dead in late 2002. Recruiting Ed Gein from the Tucson punk rock trio scratchingthesurface on guitar and vocals, and Ian and Jericho from Tucson legends Chango Malo on guitars and drums respectively, Mike finally had a band - arguably Tucson’s first and only psychobilly outfit. After a few practices and a debut show with none other than the Nekromantix a five song demo was recorded and released locally on Stunning Tonto records. Soon after, Jason Blood was recruited for vocal duties and began making plans to move from Los Angeles back to Tucson to help kick the band into full gear. More shows were played with some great bands including the Slanderin’ , The Meteors , Photon Torpedoes , The Ripmen and the Horrorpops . Jason finally made Tucson his permanent home again and quickly the band began rigorously practicing and rocking shows all over Tucson and Phoenix. With a sound described as “West Coast Based Horror Psychobilly”, the band forgoes most traditional rockabilly influences and heads more towards straight rock ‘n’ roll and hardcore influences such as Minor Threat , Nick Cave and Motorhead. In a town known for it’s love for rockabilly and cow punk, they bring a much more revved up and straightforward approach to psychobilly.
