The young New Jersey band The Front Bottoms recently stopped by the XPN2 studio for an acoustic set of songs from their self-titled debut album. Now you can stream the session whenever you like.
They have toured the area regularly, most recently playing an XPN Free at Noon Concert at World Cafe Live. We’ll hear the band play a selection of songs from their album, and Eric will talk with Brian and Matt about their long friendship and about the new wave of Jersey indie rock.
Stream our session with The Front Bottoms with the XPN Media player.
