Today, Boston-based emo-pop-rock quartet Future Teens share the first taste of what's to come with new single, "Same Difference" via Triple Crown Records. Plus, the band will head to Europe & the UK for several dates throughout June. Tickets are on sale now via futureteensofamerica.com.
After forming in 2014, Future Teens have been on the rise. Though 2020 halted their ascent, the group has maintained their momentum and are ready to re-introduce themselves in 2022. The four-piece is made up of guitarists/vocalists Amy Hoffman (they/he) and Daniel Radin (he/him), drummer Colby Blauvelt (he/him), and bassist Maya Mortman (she/her), who come together to make self-proclaimed "bummer pop"–a concoction of earnest, explosive and vulnerable emo-rock-tinged pop with pounding drums, glistening guitar riffs and irresistible melodies.
With their sly, self-aware lyricism and upbeat cathartic bangers, the band has caught the attention of several notable tastemakers like Atwood Magazine, Stereogum, Boston's WBUR, who wrote the band "makes sadness sound like fun," Substream Magazine, and more. Today's release marks their triumphant return as they expand on the foundation they've built, remaining true to themselves, with their signature confessional relatability yet evolving in their sound, which grows as they do.
"Same Difference" explores the idea of a soulmate, as Radin constructed the track around advice he once got from his sister. Radin explains, "To me, the concept of a soulmate is fun but not true. The closest thing is someone who shares or complements your differences. Finding that person is an entire journey itself." Radin continues, "'Same Difference' was born partially from this. Years ago, I asked my sister what’s different about her partner than past relationships. What makes it work? She said, ‘he calls me out on my bullshit.’ Making space for someone who you can be vulnerable around and yet still trust to hold you accountable is a difficult thing to find.” A balance between vulnerability, accountability and having fun reflects much of what Future Teens achieve with their breezy, emotionally-charged, and raw optimism packaged into smooth chord progressions and biting songwriting.
Future Teens will be kicking off a stretch of European and UK dates beginning this Saturday, June 11th in Rotterdam and concluding in Cardiff, UK on Thursday, June 23. Find a full list of dates below and grab tickets now at futureteensofamerica.com.
"Same Difference" out everywhere now, ushers in the newest iteration of Future Teens where they examine what it means to find and maintain a fulfilling relationship. It offers an encouraging way forward when much of the past has been unfulfilling. The rising band promises there is plenty in store, including a tour across the pond throughout June, and much, much more. Tickets are on sale now, and find Future Teens on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to stay up-to-date.
