Since forming in 2012, FREE THROW’s story has been simple: keep going. New records,longer tours, bigger rooms – it’s always been another step upward for the Nashville-basedquintet, whose 2014 debut, Those Days Are Gone, has become an era-defining classic in theemo-punk genre, launching them onto global tours with Hot Mulligan and New Found Glory andslots at Slam Dunk, Riot Fest, and The Fest. Every milestone has pushed them ahead, but ontheir sixth LP, Moments Before The Wind (Wax Bodega), that constant charge gradually slows,suspended mid-step, mid-thought, mid-life.Recorded with longtime producer Brett Romnes on either end of the sold-out Those Days AreGone 10-year tour, the follow-up to 2023’s Lessons That We Swear To Keep chronicles asurrealist descent into liminality: a period of intense personal upheaval colored by loss, renewal,reflection, and, ultimately, life-altering joy through the impending birth of a child. The 11-song setis disarmingly real, colored by sonic spontaneity – a swirl of Midwest emo, sweat-soaked punkfervor, and crashing alternative rock – but also the sort of achingly vulnerable lyricism fans andcritics have come to expect from the band. Through it all, Moments finds Free Throw stillmoving, still growing, but now, perhaps more than ever, acutely aware that the path ahead isneither straight nor obvious. There’s a quiet confidence guiding them there into a brand-newera, ready for whatever the wind blows their way.
