Mom Jeans’ new album Bear Market might just be the most eclectic project the alternative-indie rock quartet has ever put out.

While the contemporary pop treatment has been waved over certain tracks, lead singer Eric Butler gives off a Patrick Stump vibe in his voice, while backed by plenty of acoustic and electric guitar work, all blended in between literal elevator music, sweet, 30-second interludes, and even some bits reminiscent of the pop-punk-esque sound present on the band’s 2016 debut album Best Buds.

Following opening sets from Austin-bred alt-folk Summer Salt and indie-new wave band (no, really!) Hunny, the Berkeley-based band will bring its posse of characters (Shred Cruz—who apparently must die—Pickle Bart, and of course, cat-eating Kevin) to Ybor City.

Tickets to see Mom Jeans play The Ritz in Ybor City on Sunday, March 10 are still available and start at $35.
