About

Nashville alternative emo rockers Free Throw are heading back to Australia in January 2027, announcing a seven date national tour with support from Oklahoma emo outfit Ben Quad, making their Australian debut, and Brisbane alt rockers Sunbleached.The upcoming tour marks Free Throw’s third trip to Australia, following a co-headline tour with Microwave in 2025 and a support run with Hot Mulligan in 2024, selling out multiple dates and leaving a lasting impression on new fans throughout the country. Since forming in 2012, Free Throw have found themselves at the forefront of modern emo punk. Their 2014 debut Those Days Are Gone quickly became a genre favourite, laying the groundwork for more than a decade of touring alongside the likes of Hot Mulligan and New Found Glory as well as appearances at Slam Dunk, Riot Fest and more.

The followup to 2023’s Lessons That We Swear To Keep, the new album chronicles a surrealist descent into liminality: a period of intense personal upheaval coloured by loss, renewal, reflection and ultimately life changing joy surrounding vocalist Cory Castro’s impending fatherhood.The record is a swirl of Midwest emo, sweat-soaked punk fervor, and crashing alternative rock - but also the sort of achingly vulnerable lyricism fans and critics have come to expect from the band. Through it all, Moments... finds Free Throw still moving, still…
