Free Throw Interview: New Album, Midwest Emo, Fatherhood, and Creative Freedom

Free Throw’s Cory Castro and Larry Warner join OurSpace with Matt Vettese to talk about the band’s sixth album, Moments Before the Wind, out March 27. We talk about how Free Throw changed their writing process on this record, why they stopped trying to recreate past successes like “Two Beers In,” and how the album still feels like Free Throw while pushing into new sonic territory. Cory also opens up about the album’s themes of feeling stuck in a liminal space, and how finding out he was going to be a dad during the recording process changed the emotional arc of the record. The conversation also dives into the band’s live show, their approach to taking newer bands on tour, and where Free Throw fits in the ever-evolving world of emo. If you love emo, Midwest emo, pop punk, and alternative music, this is a great one. -- OurSpace with Matt Vettese is now powered by elderemo.com — shop emo and pop punk apparel for yourself, your kids, and even your pets.
