about

This month marks 4 years of The Front End and we wanted to make something special for our friends and fans. Although we don't have a million fans and do world tours we are excited about our progress, what's to come, and thankful for the fans we do have that listen and come to our shows.

This is our own rendition of Mr. Brightside originally written and recorded by The Killers (Brandon Flowers/Dave Brent Keuning/Mark August Stoermer/Ronnie Jr. Vannucci.)

We've purchased the proper mechanical license to record and release this song. LICENSE NO.: 1379008558

lyrics

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I never
I never
I never
I never

about

The Front End image

The Front End Allentown, Pennsylvania

Born from the monotony of shopping carts and counting change at an Allentown, Pennsylvania grocery store, four coworkers turned friends gave way to the band now known as The Front End.

Though eclectic and loose, the young musicians create unique sounds clashing with deep, sometimes dark lyrics that will eat through your eardrums and leave you humming along. ... more
