Embracing and embodying every aspect of the word 'Queer', Adelaide’s Left On Seen are a Queer Pop Punk band comprising lead vocalist Ashlea Jaye (Peripheral Noise) and lead guitarist Will Adam (Down With The Ship, Doc Oc!). The pair are hell bent on making the music industry a better place for queer, disabled and neurodivergent individuals by sharing their own stories, and making "odd music" for "odd people".

“In a world where pop punk can seem all the same, Left On Seen boldly stands out as a queer pop punk beacon, pushing the boundaries and injecting a refreshing dose of authenticity into the Australian music scene.” - Rawing In The Pit Media
