Following breakout, sold out tours with Algernon Cadwallader and Everyone Asked About You, rave reviews in Pitchfork, Alternative Press, and 2600+ glowing RYM ratings, First Day Back's self-released DIY masterstroke Forward is fi nally available at retail.

Heralded as the rightful torchbearers of second wave emo, First Day Back recalls the vocal exasperation of Cap'n Jazz, the twinkle of American Football, and the youthful exuberance of Braid, all while reinventing the sound with the organic additions of violin and harmonica. A love letter to the past, post-dated well into the future.
