The Front Bottoms "Funny You Should Ask" Official Music Video

[@robsoulless3372]

These guys had the most sympathetic vibe ever when i saw them in Hamburg. The frontdude seemed like the friendliest guy ever and the stage presence of the band just was so fucking positive. I honestly hope ill see them again some day

Me and some friends met both of them in a bar at the jersey shore like 7 years ago and we went up to say hi and tell them we were big fans. They invited us to sit with them and hangout for a while. They were the most down to earth dudes you could meet.

[@MariaMeyer-sh8yy]

[@trins4718]

I don’t know how to explain how this song makes me feel but I love it.

[@AAGEnzee]

Oh man.. im super late to the party here, but that chorus line is really hitting me hard. 'cause i was young and thought I didn't have to care about anything, but now that I'm older I know that I should'. It's so melancholy but totally accurate and a very poetic way of summing up my life. The other line in the song, where he changes the tense of the words, also seem to imply that because he spent so much time not caring, it's harder to develop those feelings now.. and that's the part that made me cry.

[@bigleebrink]

At first I thought his foot tapping at 1:20 was the croc's tongue going crazy. Haha.

[@paetonbavier4480]

[@jlkbbk2003]

I am an 80's goon - graduated 1985 in So Cal where we ALL played some instrument and were in a band whether you did actually play one (I really played mine and still do) and there was this weird almost underground thing where this style was kind of in with some crowds. I admit, I don't get it that well, but I was involved in a bunch of bands and these kind of remind me of wall of voodoo, cathedral of tears (post TSOL), and later (late 80s but we went to high school together in Long Beach in the mid 80's) maybe sublime or similar bands like them of my era. And I hear the killers influence for sure
