Free Throw announce new album ‘Piecing It Together’

FREE THROW have announced a new album!

Titled Piecing It Together, the upcoming album from the Nashville, Tennessee-based band is their brand new full-length album and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Triple Crown Records. The new album was recorded with producer Will Yip [BARTEES STRANGE, THE MENZINGERS, TIGERS JAW].

“In normal times, it’s very hard for a band like us to feel as if we have the freedom to take time off,” drummer Kevin Garcia explains. “We’d go home to write and record, then we go on tour. Rinse and repeat.” In a way, writing and recording an album in 2020 was comparable to being a band in a control group in a scientific study. What road would they take with all of the usual outside influences held at bay? “When we got into this writing process, we stopped feeling like we existed in a mold or on a path that we were supposed to keep going on with our contemporaries,” relates Garcia. “We stopped worrying about what tour we may be fighting for next or what some other band was doing. We were just in a vacuum, writing songs for our own enjoyment.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Cloud Sick. Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist Cory Castro says, “Cloud Sick is a song about trying to make sure the person you are with is happy. Sometimes situations make the strain of a relationship even harder. The song really touches on personal insecurities and worries that your significant other may give up on the relationship.”

Just as the band were approving the final edit of the music video, it was announced that one of the locations featured (Exit/In) is in danger of being lost to developers with aims of turning the space into a high end luxury hotel. The band have encouraged fans to donate to the Preserve Exit/In! campaign on GoFundMe so that the venue can continue to host shows and serve its vital role in Nashville’s underappreciated punk and indie rock scene.
