These guys are from my my home town in habersham georgia so i think i should be able to write a good review. if you live in the atlanta area youve heard of these guys from 99X, or maybe you have the american pie 2 soundtrack. this is a good cd it gets old after a while but what cd doesnt. of course youve heard "bring you down" from the pie 2 soundtrack, and if you havent heard it you should its a good song. other stand out tracks are "therapy", "the general public" and "country boy can survive" which is one of the best covers ive ever heard. chips vocals are great and are very catchy. all in all i'd say pick this cd up before they get big so you can say you were a fan from the beginning.

After seeing American Pie 2, I knew I had to check out the soundtrack. My friend got to it before me, and we both listened to it. A few tracks stood out, but the one that stood out the most was the energenic "Bring You Down" by a band called Left Front Tire. It was a very catchy track, and was very appealing to everyone I played it for. So, after a long game of trying to track this cd down, I finally found it. Overall, I say I'm pleased with it, even with it's flaws, this is an overall fun cd to play and listen to alone and with friends.

There's a lot of good stuff on this cd. My personal favorite is "Who Do You Touch", which is a medium paced track with an excellent melody. My other favorites are "Bring You Down" "The General Public", "She's too Fast", "There You Are and Here I Go", and "Beauty the Stars". All the songs are good though. However, that leads to the main problem with the cd. The repititon. The songs here are repetitive, they aren't bad, but they are repetitive. Otherwise, there really isn't too much of a problem with the cd.

Left Front Tire isn't a very popular band, but they are quite good. If you like bands like the Ataris, you'll be certain to like this band. Pick up the cd.

This CD came out of nowhere to be one of my favorites in recent memory. Why this band isn't massive, I don't know. Far better than most of their contemporaries in punk / pop, Left Front Tire is more rocking and more rewarding than most of the music on the radio. "Therapy" is godhead, and there really isn't a weak cut on this record. If they ever come to California, I am going to sell my Blink 182 and SR-71 records back, buy a ticket to their show and ask if I could roadie for them for the next year or so.

Left Front Tire's album, Social Icon, is one of the catchiest pop/punk albums I have heard in a while. All the songs get stuck in your head right away, and you can't wait to listen to this album over and over. The cover of "Country Boy Can Survive" is one of the best punk covers I have heard in a long time. I highly suggest this album to anyone that is a fan of Green Day, the Ramones, or any other Pop/Punk outfit. This album will not disappoint you. It's true, it's true!

One of the band's first albums, "Social Icon" is a welcomed and refreshing change from the "corporate" and "disaffected youth" sound. Simultaneously edgy and captivating, the songs appeal to a wide audience and force the listener to look for the broader meaning behind the lyrics. Therapy, which has remained my "theme song" for many years, continues to be an all-time favorite for most LFT fans. While I have little criticism for the album, there is still room for LFT, and its music, to evolve. While instruments and vocals blend well, and the varying tempos within many of the songs illustrates LFT's talent as musicians, the band could better diversify their style and sound. Overall, however, because of its fresh and intriguing sound, I highly recommend "Social Icon" for anyone who is interested in escaping the "pop hysteria" that is so often overplayed on regional radio or who enjoys the ska/punk scene (not to categorize them, though). I have enjoyed following this band over the past 10 years and look forward to their many future releases.

This CD is the greatest! Left Front tire is my favorite band. Their songs are so energetic and upbeat that you will want to listen to them over and over again. These guys are headed for the top and will always have my support. Chip, you rock!

LFT is one of the newest energetic bands that has hit Atlanta and now the country for a while. The music keeps you on your toes with it's fast beats and catchy songs. This band is definately on its way up!

Left Front Tire's most recent album, 'Social Icon', is the best pop/punk album I have heard in awhile. I haven't been able to take it out of my CD player! With their catchy lyrics and energetic beats, this band is one of the best in the Atlanta area. What started out as a small band from Habersham, GA their fans are spreading from coast to coast and they are taking the music scene by storm. Far surpassing any other band in their genre, I would highly recommend 'Social Icon'. There isn't a song that I don't like on this album, and I know a band with this much talent is with out a doubt going places. Check them out, you'll be glad you did!
