The Front Bottoms

The Front Bottoms

Hyper-specific tales of New Jersey angst delivered through aggressive acoustic strumming and nasal, talk-sung vocals. A definitive document of suburban unease.

It's like your smartest, most anxious friend started a punk band in his garage with an acoustic guitar.

A frantic, charmingly awkward explosion of suburban anxiety and youthful sincerity.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The frantic, percussive acoustic strumming that kicks off 'Flashlight' setting the album's breathless pace.

The sudden, jarring shift into a trumpet-led bridge during 'The Beers' that feels like a triumphant emotional breakthrough.

The raw, uncomfortable voicemail recording that bleeds into the chaotic ending of 'Hooped Earrings'.
