What can we say about The Front Bottoms? We know we love them: a punk band that uses acoustic guitar, indie-rock dance grooves, Springsteen-y keyboard lines (this they might deny). It's hook-filled... it's anthemic... it's confessional. Maybe Joni Mitchell by way of Green Day?Romance, freedom, paranoia, partying and somehow getting clean all tumble together from song to song. With the wonders of the internet and their obsessive gigging, they are now known from New Jersey to...Spain (?) where director Pablo Nieto found them online and asked to create a video for "Maps." They've played Bamboozle, opened for artists as varied as pop chanteuse Vanessa Carlton and Jersey cohorts Titus Andronicus. Lyrically Brian Sella fires off scattershot images that the listener can gather up and make sense of like working puzzle pieces on the floor
