On June 2nd, 2010, The Front Bottoms released a 6-track album entitled "Slow Dance to Soft Rock".
On March 8th, 2011, the band announced they have completed work on their forthcoming new mini-album, "Grip 'N' Tie". This EP was cancelled upon signing to Bar/None Records and combined with "Slow Dance to Soft Rock" to make their self titled debut full-length album, which was released on September 6, 2011. Their second album "Talon of the Hawk" was released on May 21, 2013 and led to the addition of two new members, Tom Warren (bass), and Ciaran O’Donnel (keys, trumpet, guitar) to play alongside Brian Sella and Matt Uychich.

The Front Bottoms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are my earth, you are my sun
I love your fingers, I love your toes
The back of your head, the tip of your nose
And you are the reason I'm smiling
When there is nothing to smile about
Yeah, you are the reason I'm smiling
One day you will find someone who will love you like you deserve
But tonight I'm the only one left and I'm betting it's a fact that you will never learn
Once I sink my teeth, your skin's not so tough
I'll leave a tiny cut, there'll be a lot of blood
But once you wipe it up you will feel better about our entire situation
You are my light, no need to hide
You are my clock, keep me on time
You are my angel, you are my crime
I'll serve this sentence the rest of my life
And you are the reason I'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about
Yeah, you are the reason I'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about
I do things wrong, you thought I might
You say I'm gonna miss you when you leave and you are probably right
But I'm just as stoned, I don't wanna fight
You say I should think before I talk, you say I shouldn't think about my life
'Cause once I finally hit the ground, who's gonna drag me into the light?
It's just so hard to see tomorrow past tonight, whoa
It's just so hard to see tomorrow past tonight, whoa
The Front Bottoms' song "Peach" is about being grateful for the person you are with, even when times are tough. The opening lines compare the subject of the song to a peach and a plum, which are both sweet and juicy fruits. The lyrics then go on to express love and admiration for various physical attributes of the person. The chorus repeats the line "You are the reason I'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about," which emphasizes the idea that the love and support of a partner can make even the hardest times a little bit easier to bear.
The second verse is a little darker, but still has an underlying theme of caring for the other person. The singer admits that they may not be the perfect partner, but they still believe that they are the best option for the other person. The lines "Once I sink my teeth, your skin's not so tough/I'll leave a tiny cut, there'll be a lot of blood" are a metaphor for a potential fight or argument between the two, but the idea of wiping up the blood and feeling better about the situation reinforces the idea that they will always try to fix things and take care of each other.
Lastly, the lyrics touch on the fear of uncertainty and the hope that their relationship will last. The closing lines express a kind of existential angst about the future, but the idea of being dragged into the light by someone else gives a sense of hope that everything will turn out okay.

You are my peach, you are my plum
You are the sweetest and most delightful person in my life
You are my earth, you are my sun
You are the center of my world and the light in my life
I love your fingers, I love your toes
I love every inch of your body, big or small, without exception
The back of your head, the tip of your nose
I notice every detail of you even when you're oblivious to it
And you are the reason I'm smiling
You are the sole reason for my happiness and contentment
When there is nothing to smile about
Even when things aren't going well, your presence alone brightens up my day
One day you will find someone who will love you like you deserve
You are a wonderful person who deserves to be loved and cherished, even if it's not by me
But tonight I'm the only one left and I'm betting it's a fact that you will never learn
Although we may not end up together, I'll make the most of every moment we have tonight and you will never find anyone else like me
Once I sink my teeth, your skin's not so tough
Once we get past our differences, we can have a deeper and more meaningful connection
I'll leave a tiny cut, there'll be a lot of blood
Our relationship may have its fair share of bumps and bruises, but it's worth it in the end
But once you wipe it up you will feel better about our entire situation
Once we overcome our obstacles and forgive each other, we will feel better about our relationship as a whole
You are my light, no need to hide
You shine so brightly and make my life better, you have nothing to hide
You are my clock, keep me on time
You keep me grounded and remind me of what's important so I don't lose track of time
You are my angel, you are my crime
You are both the best thing that has ever happened to me and my guilty pleasure at the same time
I'll serve this sentence the rest of my life
I'll stay committed to you and our relationship for as long as I live
You say I'm gonna miss you when you leave and you are probably right
You know me better than anyone else and you're probably right about me missing you when you're gone
But I'm just as stoned, I don't wanna fight
I'm too in love with you to engage in any conflicts, no matter how small
You say I should think before I talk, you say I shouldn't think about my life
You advise me to act more rationally and not worry about the future so much
'Cause once I finally hit the ground, who's gonna drag me into the light?
If I ever hit rock bottom, who will be there for me to lift me back up and make me feel alive again?
It's just so hard to see tomorrow past tonight, whoa
It's difficult to envision a bright future without you in it, all I see is darkness
It's just so hard to see tomorrow past tonight, whoa
It's difficult to envision a bright future without you in it, all I see is darkness
