New Song, New Sound, New Face

While Last Chance to Reason fans may remain apprehensive only having heard one new song in recorded form and two additional new songs live, there is no doubt of the surge in popularity the band has received with their new lineup and sound. Take a look at the band's Myspace song plays as of Nov. 20, 2006:

"Joe Dirt" - 4,016
"She's My Bloody Pie" - 24,605
"Put Your Mosh Face On" - 12,040
"Somewhere Between the Bedroom and the Abortion Clinic" - 8,000

"Joe Dirt" was put online almost exactly a month ago. By comparison, "Bloody Pie" went online in February. "Mosh Face," this summer. "SBTBATAC" is arguably the group's most well-known song, which they have a video for, and has been online for an extended period of time; and "Joe Dirt" has more than half the amount of plays in far less time. When these numbers are compared, LCTR's surge in popularity with the new material is almost frightening. The tune received thousands of plays within days of going online. Their return to the stage at The Kave on Oct. 26, their first live show in several months, saw a huge turnout of rabid fans, eager to hear new material. Many fans came solely to see LCTR, despite the fact that they were opening and had a minimal time slot.

Praise of the new material and lineup has been abundant both on the group's Myspace page, by word of mouth, and at the live show.
