Nashville emo quintet Free Throw has announced a special upcoming headline tour to celebrate ten years of their album ‘Those Days Are Gone’, performing the record in full alongside fan favorites from their five-album catalog – melding these timeless songs with the band’s reputation for delivering raucous sing - along live shows. The tour kicks off on Friday, March 28 in Austin, TX with support from highly regarded up-and-coming bands Ben Quad and Harrison Gordon. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, December 13 at 10AM local time.
The emotional resonance of songs like “Two Beers In,” loud/soft dynamism of “Hey Ken, Someone Methodically Mushed the Donuts” and riff - ready “Pallet Town” painted a portrait of the uncertainty and growing pains of life in your 20s: a veritable Groundhog Day of bad luck, bad love, and bad habits, set atop a bed of inventive rhythms, Midwestern - inspired guitar lines, ambient instrumentation and tightly wound catharsis
It’s this unfiltered honesty, surveying the wreckage of a failed relationship with a yearning to turn back the clock to kinder, more carefree years, that helped Free Throw – Cory Castro (vocals/guitar), Larry Warner (guitar), Jake Hughes (guitar/vocals), Justin Castro (bass) and Zach Hall (drums/vocals) – immediately connect with a new generation of listeners, rolling into a swelling wave of modern emo that’s spawned tens of millions of Spotify and Apple Music streams and gigs the world over.
On February 15, Free Throw will perform the album in full Microwave and Prawn who are also celebrating ten years of ‘Stovall’ and ‘Kingfisher’ and will perform those albums in their entirety, respectively.
“We didn't quite know Those Days Are Gone was going to be as special as a lot of people consider it today, but we thought that we had something really good,” says Castro. There’s been so much that’s happened since we made the record, but in some ways, it still kind of feels like yesterday.”
