Nashville-based quintet Free Throw have announced their new album ‘Moments Before The Wind’ which will be released March 27th 2026 via Wax Bodega. Alongside the announcement comes first single ‘A Hero’s Grave’.

Pulled from Mark Z. Danielewski’s cult novel House of Leaves, ‘Moments Before The Wind’ references a passage that compares life to fragile structures on the verge of being blown apart and rearranged into something unrecognisable.

The new record chronicles a big moment of change in vocalist Cory Castro’s life, the dissolution of a long-term relationship and attempts to move on, the slow realisation that what he’s lost was actually what he truly wanted and, ultimately, the life-altering moment of finding out midway through recording that he was going to be a father. With closing track ‘The Waters of Life’ being created after the news.

“There was a lot to write about this time around, but getting over that threshold definitely took some time,” Castro says, “We tend to write albums that have a conceptual arc to them, but you just sort of have to let the songs reveal themselves and figure out what that actually is. When I got the call that I was going to be a dad, I immediately knew what song I was going to write. It just felt right.”

Free Throw have announced a 26-date tour of North America, commencing 12th April in St Louis and concluding in Chicago on 17th May before the band heads to the UK for Summer festivals.
