THE FRONT BOTTOMS RELEASE

NEW ALBUM

YOU ARE WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH

     Fueled By Ramen band The
Front Bottoms have released their eagerly awaited new album You Are Who You Hang Out With.

     Recorded in multi-week
spurts with producer Mike Sapone, both in The Front Bottoms’ New Jersey studio
and Ghost Hit Recording in Massachusetts, You Are Who You Hang Out With features
the singles “Emotional,” “Punching Bag” and “Outlook” [Album Art / Track Listing Below.

The Front Bottoms  "Emotional"

      Brooklyn Vegan hailed “Outlook” as “a crunchy, catchy, power pop-punk song with
that distinct Front Bottoms flair,” while UPROXX attested that
“‘Emotional’ shows a new direction, forward-looking and ambitious.” “[It’s] all
of the best parts of the Front Bottoms’ aesthetic” raved PASTE,
and Consequence urged “there’s plenty more classic Front
Bottoms to come.”

     For New Jersey’s The
Front Bottoms, working on new music has always been therapeutic, but on their
new album You Are Who You Hang Out With, having complete and
utter fun took top priority for the duo of Brian Sella and Mat
Uychich. It’s this carefree and laid-back mindset that colored the
sessions for You Are Who You Hang Out With. Armed with the
duo’s signature anthemic melodies, take-no-prisoners lyrics and tight musical
interplay, every spin of the album is a chance to peek behind the curtain at
two friends having one hell of a time doing what they do best. “Oh yeah, it had
to be fun for us,” says Uychich of the freewheeling, oft-emotional sessions
that resulted in You Are You Who Hang Out With. “Also, we said
numerous times that we needed to make it sound like The Front
Bottoms.” 

   To hear Sella tell it, things had to feel comfortable for he and
Uychich. Because, sure, they could get self-serious about their craft. But The
Front Bottoms have never been that band. “So we had to keep it natural,” Sella
says of the process that resulted in a stunning 10-track album full of
explosive hooks and even harder-hitting melodies “Don’t force anything and just
let the songs develop the way they develop. That’s just the way it’s meant to
be.”

   Earlier this week The
Front Bottoms kicked off Part 1 of their “You Are Who You Hang
Out With Tour” featuring special guests Kevin Devine & The Goddamn
Band, and tonight they’ll perform a special album release show at Colorado’s
legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre happening. Part 2 of the tour (9/15
– 10/1) will feature support from Vundabar and see the band performing
two-night stands at Boston’s Roadrunner and Philadelphia’s Franklin Music
Hall. Part 3 (10/20 – 11/11) kicks off on the west coast with
Slothrust supporting, and includes stops at Austin’s ACL Live, Nashville’s
Marathon Music Works, and concludes with two performances at New York City’s
Terminal 5 [admat / tour itinerary below]. Additional special guests for select
dates will be announced in the coming weeks. For tickets and more information,

     Last year, The Front
Bottoms released the Theresa EP, which features the singles “More Than It Hurts You” and “Hello World.” The five song collection serves as the third installment of the band’s
popular Grandma EP series and features new recordings of never
before released fan favorite songs. In addition, The Front Bottoms shared
the standalone singles “Lover Boy” and “Voodoo Magic,” the latter of which the band enlisted Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio to play
guitar on.
