A couple weeks ago, we premiered 'Hebrews,' the title-track from the new Say Anything album . That song featured vocals by Brian Sella, of New Jersey pop-punk band The Front Bottoms.

Today, we're excited to premiere The Front Bottoms' new 'Rose' EP. It's officially out June 17, through Bar/None Records. You can stream the EP below, and pre-order it on the Bar/None website .

The 'Rose' EP is named after drummer Mat Uychich's grandmother, Rosemary; the ablum art (by Jenni Palomaa) is based on a photo of her. It is the first in a series of EPs named after the band members' grandmothers, and it consists of old songs that were either previously unreleased or not widely available, but that are often requested by fans at shows. Essentially, these are Front Bottoms deep tracks.

"When Mat and I first made these songs," explains Sella, "we never thought anyone other than the friends we emailed them to the same night we recorded them would listen. But when we started playing bigger shows, people would ask us to play these older songs. They are songs that we recorded in a friend’s basement, and we always felt they deserved a better history."

"The grandma EPs allow us to give the songs the credit they deserve," continues Sella. "With the passing of both our grandmothers around the same time, the opportunity to make this EP seemed like the right thing to do... and one or two songs are included because Mat’s grandmother really liked them."

If you want to hear The Front Bottoms play songs from 'Rose' and the rest of their discography, including last year's 'Talon Of The Hawk' LP, you'll soon have a chance.

This week, along with You Blew It! and The So So Glos, The Front Bottoms begin their tour in support of Say Anything. They also have a few headlining dates in the near future, including one tonight in Louisville. See the schedule below.
