The Front Bottoms - Going Grey (October 13, 2017) Album • Page 3

this album is solid as fuck

catch me out here drewbin'

 

What??? You already have it? God damn you.

 

I was surprised too

 

Seems so soon but I mean good for you! Can't knock it haha I'll have to live vicariously through you for a couple months.

 

For sure, I don't want to spoil anything but if y'all got questions I'm happy to answer 'em

 

Boxers or briefs?

 

I, too, am wondering this.

 

here you see a wild classic drew'b, you can tell by its customary compliment on its quality without giving a single detail about the actual content on the release!

 

I think what I really like about raining is the productions seems to be right in the middle between Talon and BoT. It's got some pop finish but there's still that kinda flatness/lofi/whatever the fuck you wanna call it. My biggest beef with BoT was it was wayyyyyy heavyhanded

Plus the synth line screams hellogoodbye in the best way possible

 

I'm a boxer boy through and through

 

atlanta show sold out already, if that's any indication about how huge this band is and how you should buy tickets now

 

I'll probably never see them live

 

they tour so much though, i've seen them like, 9 times now over the past five years and that's missing a few times too

 

This will be my 6th time seeing them since 2013.

Saw them open for Bad Books in 2013
Headline in 2013
Open for Manchester Orchestra in 2013
Headline in 2015
Open for Brand New in 2016

 

^This made me check how many times I've seen TFB (7), and while I was looking I realized that I've seen Modern Baseball 8 times but only headlining once and now I'm furious/heartbroken.

 

coheadline with mansions
coheadline with cheap girls (ugh fuck that)
supporting MCS
playing at this dope festival
headlining with weatherbox
headlining with you blew it
supporting brand new
headline with smith street band

yup 8

 

oh whoops, forgot i saw them with brand new twice. once for the discography show and once for the devil and god tour last year. so 9

weird, i've seen TFB open for brand new playing three different albums in full lol

 

im hyped. still love all 3 of their main albums, plus the albums worth of b-sides/EP tracks. theyve got a solid back catalog and i think this album is on track to add to that.

 

Opening for BTMI
Local record store (acoustic)
Coheadline with mansions
Opening for Menzingers
Hoboken arts festival
Opening for river city extension
Talon of the hawk release show (x2)
Headlining stone pony
Champagne jam 1
Panorama music fest
Opening for brand new
Champagne jam 2
Atlantic City beer fest

I'm almost definitely missing a few, but can't think of where else I would have seen them...

 

Uhmmm

Opening for MCS at Grog (2012)
Headlining w/ AGBPOL (2013)
Opening for Say Anything (2014)
Very small headline gig w/ LVL UP (2015)
Huge headline gig w/ Smith Street (2015)
Opening for Brand New (2016)

I think that's it. Which is surprising I feel like I've seen them more than that

 

Times I've seen The Front Bottoms:

 

I was supposed to see them last fall with Brand New, but their bus broke down and didn't make it here.

 

really upset i missed those lvl up shows, that show sold out in like 30 mins here when that venue wasn't that much smaller from where i'd seen them play before. that's when i realized that they had blown up, haha. it was like, right before they announced back on top

bummed i missed the bad books/weatherbox tour, mostly because that would have been another time i would have been able to see weatherbox, haha

 

I hate myself for missing the Bad Books tour, I also was supposed to see them open for ManOrch but didn't go to that either.

But yeah that tour with LVL UP tour was when I first started at my old job and we knew the show would sell out but it went in like 15 minutes. We did 400 tickets and then had them back 5 months later and they sold 2200 and sold out a theater. Very wild haha

They definitely blew up randomly somewhere

 

Raining is finally starting to click with me
