The Front Bottoms - Rose - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Squeeze, South London's enduring purveyors of pure pop magic, will their first album of new material in seventeen years on October 2nd. Songs from the album will feature in Danny Baker's forthcoming sitcom 'Cradle To Grave' starring Peter Kay to be shown on national TV this Autumn. The album comes as a CD in a MintPack with a 12 page booklet. Squeeze's new album 'Cradle To The Grave' is the band's 14th studio album and features the first collection of new songs from founding members, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, since 1998. It was produced by Tilbrook and Laurie Latham and recorded at 45 RPM Studios in Charlton.

The Front Bottoms are a punk band that uses acoustic guitars, indie-rock dance grooves, Springsteen-y keyboard lines (this they might deny). It's hook filled, it's anthemic, it's confessional. Maybe Neil Young by way of Green Day? They must have heard some Replacements along the way and it seems like what Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers did for the Boston suburbs these guys are doing for Bergen County, NJ. Their songs are short little gems filled rich hooks and clever rhythms that inspire sing-a-longs in their almost always packed house.

The Front Bottoms return with their first new album since 2020's InchIn Sickness & In Flames.Inch InchYou Are Who You Hand Out WithInch arrives on August 4 via Fueled By Ramen and coincides with the 10-year anniversary of the band's breakthrough 2013 record, InchTalon of the Hawk,Inch which they will tour in celebration of. The lead single, InchOutlook,Inch combines all of the best parts fo the Front Bottoms aesthetic The track begins with a self-titled-era acoustic arpeggio only to explode into a InchBack On TopInch era jam session. Brian Sella, whose vocals haven't changed a bit in the last 15 years, is at peak form heere, as he glides atop backing harmonies turning in every sonic direction. To top it off, drummer Mathew Uychich keeps at a blistering pace with Sella and, together, they roar towards the album's triumphant finish line.
