Editorial Reviews

Debut album from the popular Bay Area band formed by two sets of family members, Garza (Bryan on vocals and Guitar; Robby on guitar and bass) and Krimmel (Peter on keyboards and guitar; James on bass and drums). Formed in San Luis Obispo, the group bases themselves in San Francisco. SFL were named the "Best Up And Coming Indie Rock Band" by SF Weekly in their Best Of 2006 issue. Across the pond though, the NME raves that they create "...ambitious, sarcastic sophistopop.... quirky, promising and quite possibly awesome". Rough Trade. 2006. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I have never bought a CD in my life since i usually buy singles just because i would never listen to the whole album.
This album was going to be no exception until i sampled every track, here's why i ended up buying the whole album;
I was simply stunned by the whole album, it's a great listen from start to finish, what i also love about Scissors for Lefty is the variety they play, some tracks are very energetic, some are just soft and romantic.
This album delivers what other popular music often lacks; a sense of fun, you can easily tell that these guys love to perform and that they're having a lot of fun.
This is a must buy album, you'll get great happy and exciting songs, one after another, a MUST listen at a spring break party :)
This album gets 5 well deserved stars!
This band is known to put on a great Live show, i am finally going to go see them this week, i am a huge fan of Live music and can't wait.

I heard about Scissors for Lefty on the IndieFeed Alternative Modern Rock pod cast a few months ago and really liked their song "Lay Down Your Weapons." I bought the CD because I bought tickets to see them on a whim and wanted to listen to more of their music before going to the concert. I started listening to it on my way to work and ended up listening to it for 3 weeks straight! The songs are great and they have good variety. I have since seen them in concert and they are an amazing live act. Their lyrics are great and the music is very dance-able. My favorite songs are Nickels & Dimes, Lay Down Your Weapons, Ghetto Ways, Save It Corey, and Got Your Moments. As the other reviewers suggest, you definitely should see these guys live if you can. They put on a tremendous show that brings the house down.
