Good news from the Cold Fronts camp! After patiently/impatiently waiting for the green-light from Sire Records, the band's full-length album, Forever Whatever, now has a release date of October 23. You can also take a listen to their new track, "Buschleague," from the forthcoming LP, over at Consequence of Sound, and enjoy the single's artwork (above) with frontman Craig Almquist keeping it classy!

Cold Fronts close out their tour fun with River City Extension tonight at Boot & Saddle. As we await the full-length LP that will be available via Sire Records, the band continues to deliver its brand of contagious rock. These songs are the type that makes you yearn for warm temperatures and cold beers with their loose, Velcro-style lyrics and clean, snapping grooves. Take those vital pop-rock ingredients and charge it with guitar solos that demand higher decibels, and you have the right soundtrack to welcome in this beautiful weather. Cold Fronts paves the way to the eclectic yet leveled, heartfelt tunes generated by Toms River, New Jersey natives River City Extension. They'll be headlining in support of their new LP Deliverance (Anchor & Hope Music). Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., $18, 8pm, 21+ - Michael Colavita

Cold Fronts' Craig Almquist lays it on the line, and declares his love for Alana Haim, a.k.a. @babyhaim on social media, the youngest of the sister group HAIM, in the band's latest single "Baby Haim." There is also a lyric video coming in just case there is any confusion about these words. Hopefully he'll find a pop-rock love connection. Cold Fronts will be doing a run of shows with The Cribs before heading down to SXSW. They'll also be touring with River City Extension in April, and will close things out with a hometown show on Thursday, April 16 at Boot & Saddle.

As we anticipate the release of their debut LP via Sire Records, Cold Fronts stopped by Berks Warehouse to record a session for Out Of Town Films. This performance of “Hit Me,” found on their latest EP Forever, incorporates the band’s excellent grip on high-energy heartfelt rock. Blending a bass-churning groove with sweet slices of guitar that freely run, you’ll want to play it more than once. (Photo by Megan Mat)
