Description
Since forming in 2012, Free Throws story has been simple: keep going. New records, longer tours, bigger roomsits always been another step upward for the Nashville-based quintet, whose 2014 debut, ‘Those Days Are Gone’, has become an era-defining classic in the emo-punk genre. The record launched them onto global tours with Hot Mulligan and New Found Glory, as well as slots at Slam Dunk, Riot Fest, and The Fest.
Every milestone has pushed them ahead, but on their sixth LP, ‘Moments Before The Wind’ (Wax Bodega), that constant charge gradually slowssuspended mid-step, mid-thought, mid-life. Recorded with long time producer Brett Romnes on either end of the sold-out ‘Those Days Are Gone’ 10-year tour, the follow-up to 2023s ‘Lessons That We Swear To Keep’ chronicles a surrealist descent into liminality: a period of intense personal upheaval coloured by loss, renewal, reflection, and, ultimately, life-altering joy through the impending birth of a child.
The 11-song set is disarmingly real, coloured by sonic spontaneitya swirl of Midwest emo, sweat-soaked punk fervour, and crashing alternative rockbut also the sort of achingly vulnerable lyricism fans and critics have come to expect from the band.
Limited ‘puffin island’ colour vinyl pressing.
