The Lowtones over deliver on instant classic, "Front Row Empty"
Coming out incredibly strong with a debut EP they’ve titled Front Row Empty, we’re already keeping our eyes out for more from The Lowtownes. Please read on for a closer look at the record, in addition to a background on this emerging band.
Currently based out of Norwich, United Kingdom, The Lowtones are a five piece Indie Rock band that have been together since February 2020. Working tirelessly to finish up their debut Front Row Empty, we can confidently say that the wait was worth it because from start to finish they’ve managed to create something effortlessly unique. Covering themes of isolation, loneliness, and generally telling tales from the last couple of years, they’ve juxtaposed the message with bright and inviting instrumentals. Sincerely, we can’t wait for everyone out there to give this a spin.
Released on April 23rd, 2022, they’ve already been making their way around locally playing the album and continuing to build their fan base. We’ve got a sneaking suspicion that once everyone checks this out, there’ll be plenty more diehards begging for more. Coming in at five total tracks, spanning right around thirteen minutes, they’ve consciously created a tight and concise listen that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Featuring signature guitar tones, groovy bass lines, and bombastic drumming, you’re as enticed by the sound and style as you are by the themes being covered.
It’s hard not to point out that the vocals here might be our absolute highlight, mainly because there’s such a driving and sincere passion behind every line’s delivery. The lead singer manages to toe the line between aggression and sincerity, all the while having a warmth about him that’s inviting to the listener. Paired with a killer instrumentation, especially on tracks like “Alone” and the opener “Let Go”, The Lowtones immediately immerse you into their niche sound. We suppose you could classify this as alternative rock, however we do feel that lovers of music across the spectrum would be able to find something in here to enjoy. There’s such a versatility across songs and literal decades of musical inspiration, it doesn’t matter what mood you’re in, you’ll end up loving it.
