NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert's description of the TFB

is perfect and so thoughtful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc8U2VP92Vg

"When I first saw The Front Bottoms, I was stunned, as 350-plus singing/shouting clubgoers repeating compassionate verse after complicated verse back at singer Brian Sella. And then it happened again at a hot sweaty club in Philadelphia, and later in D.C., and then again in Baltimore. The community that's formed around these songs, total strangers purging deep emotions in a public space. It's a beautiful phenomena, a testament to the passion and compassion that this band radiates. A testament to the nerve that's gets pinged with lines cried out, 'I wanna be stronger than your dad was for your mom' or the phrase in one of this years best songs 'Twin Sized Mattress' "

I wanna contribute to the chaos

I don't wanna watch and then complain

'Cause I am through finding blame

That is the decision that I have made

And when you hear the music...uncomplicated but pretty memorable, you realize that the talent in this band isn't about instrument craft and years of playing scales...this is about the shortest distance from emotion, sometimes complex and storied emotion, from band to audience. At the Tiny Desk in the bright of day and with office lights on, it was a tough to get the call and response that happens in a darkened late night room, but it's not hard to look at the faces in this band, especially the sweet smile of Brian, to understand this band. Their new record Talon of the Hawk is certainly on my year end list for all these reasons. It's all about heart and soul, something frequently avoided and hard to convey. --BOB BOILEN"

Looking for tattoo advice :)

!!!possibly triggering!!!

I’ve always planned on getting the buck 110 from talon of the hawk tattooed on my left thigh because thats where i used to sh. i was planning getting it this month (all of my scars fully healed) but relapsed recently and hate the fact that im going to have to wait months or even a year to get my tat now…

so here is my question, should i stick with my left thigh and just stay patient, or switch to right thigh and make it a Backflip reference?

thank you for reading and any advice is appreciated!! (also btw dont worry about me i’ve been clean for almost two weeks and plan on staying that way)

I told you I’d post 😡

Whoever took the prize that clearly wasn’t meant for you (you costume-less fuck) during the costume contest, your mom’s a hoe and you couldn’t even scare a child if you tried.

Sincerely,

Sexy Mike Wazowski

PS - I have an aerial view from my house to your room.

EDIT - if you chat request me I will share a pic of the costume since so many have asked

Can someone explain?

Can someone explain this? So I know in TFB (The Front Bottoms) are Brian and mat, but can someone explain if they’re brothers or best friends? So, I was doing some research and I always knew that Brian’s second/last name is Sella, so, Brian sella, and mat’s is Uychich, Mat Uychich, y’know? But I also saw this thing and instead of it saying Brian Sella, it said Brian Uychich. So I’m very confused, so if anyone can explain to me, that’d be great, plus, I’m sorry if this is completely un-understandable.

Champagne Jam 2024 Tickets

Hey! I’m trying to sell three tickets to The Front Bottoms Champagne Jam on Dec 14 at the Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena. I can’t resell on Ticketmaster but I can e-transfer tickets. My friends and I all have finals around Dec 16 and feel like we should study instead of attending this event. If anyone is interested please hmu, i’m willing to sell lower than what I paid for!
