Bay Area rockers Mom Jeans are coming to San Diego for their brand new Sweet Tooth Tour! “Give me something sweet so I can make it through the week/Don’t care if I end up with cavities.” This is the plea that opens Sweet Tooth, the upcoming third LP from Berkeley’s Mom Jeans. It’s the introduction to a quasi-concept record, a structural departure for the emo punk quartet. Before any of the record’s 13 songs had been written and recorded, the band knew what Sweet Tooth would sound like: late ‘90s and early 2000s pop rock and pop punk bliss.

See them live at House Of Blues on October 6 at 7:00 p.m. joined by Free Throw, Just Friends & Small Crush.
