Front Bottoms

The Front Bottoms aren’t holding back at all with rolling out their new album, Back On Top (due 9/18 via Fueled By Ramen). They’ve already released three of the eleven songs, and here’s a fourth. “Laugh Till I Cry” continues the band’s approach to combining pop punk and folk rock, and like second single “Cough It Out,” this one leans a bit more on the latter. Check out the video, directed by Mark Jaworski, below (via NPR).

The band’s tour with Elvis Depressedly and The Smith Street Band hits NYC for two BrooklynVegan-presented shows: October 14 and 15 at Irving Plaza. Tickets are still available (but “not many left” for 10/15).
