The Front Bottoms today share Emotional, the third single off their forthcoming album You Are Who You Hang Out With, out 4^th August. Emotional is accompanied by an official music video filmed and produced by Rachel Rinehardt. Listen to the new song here and watch the music video here.

Commenting on the track, the band noted, “this song is about keeping it natural and going with the flow for as long as you can. It’s also about circling back and getting back to the original feeling”.

Recorded in multi-week spurts with producer Mike Sapone, both in The Front Bottoms’ New Jersey studio and Ghost Hit Recording in Massachusetts, You Are Who You Hang Out With is available for pre-order today and includes the previously released singles Punching Bag and Outlook.

For The Front Bottoms, working on new music has always been therapeutic but on their forthcoming new album You Are Who You Hang Out With, having complete and utter fun took top priority for the duo of Brian Sella and Mat Uychich. It’s this carefree and laid-back mindset that coloured the sessions for You Are Who You Hang Out With. Armed with the duo’s signature anthemic melodies, take-no-prisoners lyrics and tight musical interplay, every spin of the album is a chance to peek behind the curtain at two friends having one hell of a time doing what they do best. “Oh yeah, it had to be fun for us,” says Uychich of the freewheeling, oft-emotional sessions that resulted in You Are You Who Hang Out With. “Also, we said numerous times that we needed to make it sound like The Front Bottoms.” To hear Sella tell it, things had to feel comfortable for him and Uychich. Because, sure, they could get self-serious about their craft, but The Front Bottoms have never been that band. “So we had to keep it natural”, Sella says of the process that resulted in a stunning 10-track album full of explosive hooks and even harder-hitting melodies. “Don’t force anything and just let the songs develop the way they develop. That’s just the way it’s meant to be.”

This August, The Front Bottoms will kick off their You Are Who You Hang Out With Tour featuring special guests, which includes a special album release show at Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on August 4th. The band then kick off their 8-date UK tour in Sheffield on the 9^th December and finish with their annual Champagne Jam show in London on the 17^th of December. They will be joined on the tour by special guests We Were Promised Jetpacks. Champagne Jam is the band’s annual festival and the very exciting line up will be announced soon. Tickets are on sale now.

Last year, The Front Bottoms released the Theresa EP, which features the singles More Than It Hurts You and Hello World. The five-song collection serves as the third installment of the band’s popular Grandma EP series and features new recordings of never before released fan favorite songs. In addition, The Front Bottoms shared the standalone singles Lover Boy and Voodoo Magic, the latter of which the band enlisted Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio to play guitar on.
