4-Wheel Vibe is the second album by American punk rock band Bracket, released by Caroline Records on May 16, 1995. Produced by Don Fleming, 4-Wheel Vibe expanded on the pop punk sound of their debut 924 Forestville St. and began to showcase a wider range of songwriting. In addition to music videos for "Trailer Park" and "Circus Act", leftover songs from the album's sessions were released the following year on the 4 Rare Vibes EP. Bracket released alternate versions of several tracks from 4-Wheel Vibe on Rare Cuts in 2013.
