Backstory:
Formed amidst the hustle and bustle of Chicago’s thriving indie scene in 2011, Left Repair is a brainchild of childhood friends and voracious music consumers, Ben Clarke and Jordan Scott. Ben, the charismatic and dynamically talented lead vocalist and Jordan, the elusive yet extraordinary guitarist, wanted to create a sound that resonates with the unheard voices of the city. They found their missing pieces in the rhythm section of the band, Hudson and Miles, who brought the thundering drums and thumping bass lines respectively. The band’s quirky name was a result of a late-night jam session in their makeshift garage, “repairing” the void “left” by uninspired mainstream music.
