The Front Bottoms have announced details of the 2nd installment of their Grandma Series. The six-track Ann EP, which follows 2014’s Rose EP, will feature five new recordings of never before released fan favorite songs as well as a brand new track, “Tie Dye Dragon.” Preorders for the Ann EP will be available beginning March 16th with a worldwide release date set for May 18th.
The Front Bottoms have also announced a run of North American headline dates which will see the band performing two sets each night of the tour. Set #1 will see the band performing both the Rose and Ann EPs, followed by a 2nd set of their new LP GOING GREY in its entirety along with classic tracks from their discography. Kicking of May 22nd at the Upstate Concert Hall in Clifton Park, NY, the tour will feature special guests An Horse and Kevin Devine on select dates.
Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Brian Sella and drummer Mathew Uychich, the New Jersey-based band made their Fueled By Ramen debut with 2015’s acclaimed studio album, BACK ON TOP, highlighted by singles “HELP” and “Cough It Out” – the latter named by NPR Music as one of its “Favorite Songs Of 2015.” The album earned copious critical attention, with NOISEY declaring “What really hits home with The Front Bottoms is the ragged honesty and raw wound emotional urgency of the songs.”
