🎫 Tough Front is an indie alternative Los Angeles-based band, native to the San Fernando Valley.

They explore nostalgic and introspective lyricism with jazz-like chord progressions, pop melodies and rock soundscapes, similar to that of bands and musicians like Japanese Breakfast, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Built to Spill and Death Cab for Cutie.
