The Front Bottoms kicked off their Back On Top: Ten Years Tour at the Ritz in Raleigh on the twelfth of December 2025. Before getting any further into this post I must confide in the reader that I am a huge fan of The Front Bottoms and have seen them several times. Despite this, I will do my best to keep an unbiased view of this show.
The show kicked off with NOBRO, an all-female outfit of hard rockers who had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands for their whole set. NOBRO absolutely killed their set and set the bar high for the rest of the night.
