The Criticals Clever Girl / Belmont (Red)

Nashville rock duo The Criticals (Parker Forbes and Cole Shugart) released their debut EP for Fantasy Records, titled Front Door Confrontations, in 2023. Friends for more than a decade, having first met as children at music camp, Forbes and Shugart logged time together in Nashville's wild DIY rock scene. The two musicians quite simply feed off one another's energy and not only has it made for a close friendship, but an incomparable musical partnership that blends tuneful classicism and indie rock thrash into a seductive, unforgettable mix. Now, following a pair of highly regarded EPs (2019's Mimosa Hygiene and the following year's Sour Grapes), not to mention a steady diet of raucous live shows, the band's most accomplished work yet, is Front Door Confrontations.7" single on red color vinyl featuring the tracks "Clever Girl" b/w "Belmont." Limited Edition.
