ABOUT THE FRONT BOTTOMS Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Brian Sella and drummer Mathew Uychich, The Front Bottoms have gripped listeners and press around the world with their ragged honesty and emotional urgency. The New Jersey based band’s 2017 LP, GOING GREY, arrived to critical acclaim with lead single “Peace Sign” breaking into the Alternative Radio charts. GOING GREY is highlighted by a string of celebrated singles, among them “Vacation Town,” “Everyone But You,” and “Raining,” which NPR avowed as “…brutally honest, witty and confessional…” adding, “The group’s heart and humor shine… .” The FADER declared, “The Front Bottoms make memorable sing-a-longs that call back to a different, simpler, sadder era of confessional guitar music” with Stereogum praising the new music as, “grand and reflective and damn near arena-ready.” “…Submit to the awesome power of The Front Bottoms” stated VICE, while A.V. Club professed, “The Front Bottoms are more confident, and secure enough to confess to all they don’t yet know. It’s a privilege to listen in as they work it out.” Earlier this year The Front Bottoms returned with Ann, the 2nd installment of their Grandma Series. The six-track collection, which follows 2014’s Rose EP, features five new recordings of never before released fan favorite songs as well as the brand-new track, “Tie Dye Dragon.” CONNECT WITH THE FRONT BOTTOMS: WWW.THEFRONTBOTTOMS.COM FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM TWITTER FUELEDBYRAMEN.COM ABOUT MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA Always seeking to push themselves creatively with each subsequent release, Manchester Orchestra expanded their dynamic sound to peak form on 2017’s cinematic and epic album A Black Mile To The Surface, which features production by Catherine Marks, John Congleton (St. Vincent, Explosions In The Sky, Angel Olsen), and their longtime studio partner Dan Hannon. The record showcases a band that rethought, deconstructed, and rebuilt their songwriting process to propel their music into a new emotional arena, drawing on Hull and McDowell's unique experience scoring the 2016 Sundance hit film Swiss Army Man (directed by The Daniels). The album earned acclaim from outlets including Entertainment Weekly (“…the alt-rockers to up the drama on their latest LP. The resulting collection is a mix of sweeping guitars, booming drums, and delightful vocal harmonies"), Pitchfork ("[Manchester Orchestra's] most thrilling album to date"), Vulture, Noisey ("It's the most lyrically intricate and sonically ambitious record that the band have made. It's also their best."), Alternative Press ("One of modern rock's most consistently great bands just raised the bar again"), and MAGNET, among others. Manchester Orchestra performed Alternative Radio Top 15 and AAA-topping single“The Gold” on both Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS This Morning: Saturday Sessions, and is among the most-booked bands at music festivals this year, playing a career-high number that includes Lollapalooza, Governor’s Ball, Austin City Limits, Boston Calling, Bottlerock, Shaky Knees Music Festival, Osheaga, and Hangout Music Festival, among others. The band recently released a new single, “I Know How To Speak,” and a documentary of the same name that chronicles the recording process of A Black Mile To The Surface, as well as an EP of that album’s demos, The Black Mile Demos.
