Back on Top

The Front Bottoms

High-fidelity indie rock that keeps its basement-show soul. Aggressive acoustic strumming meets polished production and hyper-specific suburban storytelling.

September 18, 2015 · Fueled By Ramen

Find on Amazon

A high-energy, cocky, and occasionally anxious celebration of suburban survival.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition into the final chorus of 'West Virginia' where the vocals reach a desperate, shouting peak.
The unexpected hip-hop influenced guest verse on 'Historic Cemetery' that briefly breaks the indie rock mold.
The way the acoustic guitar and trumpet interlock during the bridge of 'Summer Shandy' to create a bright, brassy anthem.
