Video: Free Throw - Ocular Pat Down

Emo rockers, Free Throw, recently released their new single “Ocular Pat Down” with a Jez Pennington animated video that doubles as an homage to venues they’ve missed playing in over the past year and a half.

“‘Ocular Pat Down’ is a song about people who can’t seem to put others before themselves, but will always be the first to get on a fake pedestal,” says drummer Kevin Garcia, “Throughout the last year, we saw so many venues, bars, etc. that have felt like second homes to us on the road and at home, suffer immensely because of the pandemic. First to close, last to open, last to get the support. We wanted to highlight some of these places in the ‘Ocular Pat Down’ video and bring some attention to a few killer venues that are still very much hurting or have had to close their doors for good.”

“Ocular Pat Down” is off the band’s new album Piecing It Together, which was produced by Will Yip (Bartees Strange, The Menzingers, Tigers Jaw) and will be out June 25th on Triple Crown Records!
