The lead singer has that type of voice you either love or hate. I personally love it. His voice sounds like he's almost about to yell/scream his lyrics but instead ends up with a very unique sound.

This band is so incredible because it perfectly fits for any kind of mood. You can be crying, drunk alone at home and throw it on, but also when you're happy, it somewhat reminds you of like summer memories at the lake even if the lyrics have nothing to do with summer memories at the lake.

I've watched this around 5 times now and every time he said "I'm a sweater" I always thought of like a t-shirt. I now realize that I have been wrong.

you could argue that brian's voice is annoying but you cannot say his voice is "bad", it's unlike any other I have heard, he's always exactly in tune, and it sounds EXACTLY the same live as it does recorded. That takes talent. It's so full and he has a wide vocal range. So many bands that I love are awful live and amazing recorded so I find it to be amazing when a band sounds the same either way.

Twin size mattress always gives me goosebumps, reminds me of summer 16’ with my friends just messing around downtown, walking, being goofy, having a crush, holding their hand, that first kiss.

Brian's voice is easily my favorite voice to hear sing "I'm sad" a bunch

Revisiting this video for the hundredth time because quarantine has me missing their concerts :(

I'm glad this band was my entire life ages 15-17, I look back at those years as an endless summer now because of it. Brian's lyrics have a way of being universally relatable while simultaneously being impossibly specific, which makes it all feel like real life and almost something I've actively taken part in. Love love love

If you would like to show a friend who The Front Bottoms are, these 15 minutes will sum up how incredible these musicians truly are.

I could NOT imagine my life without the frontbottoms. Thank you Brian for all the great songs, I find meaning in every word.

There is a lot of arguing going on here, wow. For me, part of the charm of this band is Brian's voice, because even though he's not technically a good singer (and in pretty much any other context his voice would annoy the crap out of me), you can hear the passion in his voice and just the raw emotion, and I've always valued emotion over technical skill. Also, they really do have great, if simple, instrumentation, I just don't think you really see that in this video due to the very stripped down nature of this performance. And hey, if you don't like the Front Bottoms, you don't like the Front Bottoms. It's like coffee; you are either obsessed with them, or you can't stand them.

"She hopes I'm cursed forever to sleep on a twin sized mattress in somebody's attic or basement my whole life." This hits a little too deep for reasons I can't discern.

My friends who I’ve introduced to The Front Bottoms can’t get over his voice, but personally I love it. His voice doesn’t have to be pretty, it gives you feelings. It’s so beautiful.

It's Nov 03, 2023 and The Front Bottoms are playing live right now at the St Augustine Amphitheatre (The Amp). I can hear it pretty clear from my house and I wish I got tix. Saw them coming into town in their tour bus. This is a band to watch! Brian Sella has a voice for longevity and is distinct and notable. I can hear it cutting through the wind rn. Nice Zoomers!- I'd pat them on their heads. Hope everyone had a great Halloween and best wishes!! - from paradise, On An Island, in Florida USA ❤️

My favorite band for almost 10 years now. They just don't have any bad music. And they're just as good live! I recommend them to everyone, and people seem to either love or hate them

This is surprisingly wonderful. I never really gave The Front Bottoms a chance. Absolutely love this.

Ive know this band for over 12 years and i dont think ill ever stop loving them this will always be my top favorite video ive watched it easily 300 times 😭

Just coming back home to make sure that everything is okay with the world

I don't get why people feel the need to shit on other people's music taste. I'm watching this because I really love this band, and yeah, Brian Sella might not be the best vocalist, but it's the style of the music and he's very passionate about this. If you don't like something, you don't have to watch it or comment on it. Nobody is making you watch this so keep your shitty comments to yourself.

over a decade ago i was getting high in a parking lot with my girlfriend, surfing youtube and i came across this song because the album was called talon of the hawk and thought that sounded badass. i clicked it, and my whole life changed

Someone help. I can't stop watching this.

yea same. I the week I've probably listened to it 25+ times.

I can't stop smiling. TFB helped me channel my teen angst into angry singing at 14 lol. So glad to see them here.

Who else is still here 10 years later?

I would drive an hour to work everyday miserable, and I would listened to these songs on the way. Get this! I would actually laugh in the car, at the same part even though I knew what was coming. I hope one day I can see them live. These song tell a story in a way, maybe they tell a feeling.

I just saw them 3 hours away it was totally worth it just buy the tickets and go you wont regret it

Didn't quite like them at first. Saw them a couple weeks ago as support for Say Anything and loved them. They won me over!

they are amazing! glad to see somebody getting into them. i had the same issue. i loved one of their songs and didnt get into them much at first, but the more i listened, and the more i saw how passionate and friendly and personal they are, i fell in love.

For real, I just saw them last night as the openers for Say Anything and honestly, they put on a way better show and everyone loved them. They totally stole the show. They played more of their shorter songs to use the best time in their 45 min set. They have so much fun when they're playing it's hard not to love them and have fun with them.

I showed my aunt Au Revoir and its now her favorite song, she is 54 and rocks out to this song with me likes she 21 it’s amazing. She loves this song and The Front bottoms

Please invite AJJ to perform on Tiny Desk. Please.

FUCKING PLEASE, IT WOULD BE SO GOOD!

Holy shit i wear my heart on my sleeve. This acoustic version of twin size mattress is so beautiful. Its just so real.

Ciaran is sooo talented. Really great at guitar and the trumpet!

i’ve watched this vid a million times and i will never stop i love so much

Have been going to live shows for 25 years, saw the front bottoms a few months ago... top 5 shows, ever. amazing energy, lyrics and pure love of the written word. thank you npr for the intro a while back. support live music folks. and self sufficient bands!

I can't get enough of this. This 15 min set has had an impact on my life.

my older sister used to love this band, and when she liked them i found a few songs and liked those a lot. every few months, i go through another phase of liking them whenever i want to be like her. i also used to have an internet friend who loved them and listening to their music just reminds me of better times.

This is so great. The entire time I was watching I had a huge grin on my face - that's what their music has always done for me and their fans, I think. They sound just a great live as they do on their recorded tracks. Cant wait for them to come back to Canada :)

i've watched this so many times and i still get emotional at some parts. these songs really make you feel something

Christ man. Haven’t listened to these guys since high school. Can’t even describe the emotions listening to this brings up.

I quit my job six months ago, I moved out of the apartment I got with my exboyfriend 2 months ago, I'm living with my bestfriend, she's helping me learn to love life again and this concert captures that hard hope.

just gotta say, that is the most tambourine i've ever heard in a group of 4 songs, but it works so well, props tot he percussion player for killing it and doing so much with so little

I have the front bottoms lyrics scribbled all over my therapy book. They've been such a fundamental part of my recovery and I just love this band so much.

My all time favorite band and my first concert. They are so amazing live and sound so good in this video.

still coming back to this video years later. absolutely incredible. this band means everything to me

I hope someone is listening to this, feeling the same way I do.

This is the greatest thing I’ve heard all year. I’m definitely getting into this band. Thank you Tiny Desk for introducing me to fucking beautiful music. Thank you for performing this set. Thank you all for everything. Never give up on anything anybody.

all their songs are pretty much the same and they are all pretty much great i would collect all their records i have them all

reading the comments and seeing the love for this incredible band makes me so hyped. seeing people write what i was thinking and even things i hadn't thought is just so great. love this band and the support.

I have listened to this so many times and I dont think in going to stop anytime soon

I found this video in early 2014 and I’ve just been absolutely hypnotized by these boys ever since. I mean every word, in every song, on every album just hits so close to home, It’s always felt like a group of misunderstood people who inexplicably seem to understand me.

I love this acoustic performance of them! And I can play the trumpet too!

I had a whole concert In my room thank u

I really like this band man , their simplicity is what makes them so good
