FRND CRCL releases "FRVR" single

originally published: 05/16/2025

South Jersey pop punk trailblazers FRND CRCL are back to deliver yet again. Their newest single, "FRVR," presents a catchy and vibrant embodiment of their modern take on pop-punk.

The track’s uplifting riffs and lively hooks juxtapose its reminiscent lyrics to form a passionate, bittersweet anthem of nostalgia and gratitude.

This is the third official single from their upcoming fourth full-length album, JRSY FRSH, set to drop May 30, 2025. 

"FRVR” epitomizes FRND CRCL’s ability to balance and inspire through their incorporation of wistful lyrics with bright instrumentals.

Driven by its playful guitar riff that builds with contagious energy into the chorus, the track’s shout-worthy line “we’ll sing forever at the top of our lungs until I miss you again” encapsulates the impassioned ambivalence of losing a lover that anyone can relate to.

You can presave JRSY FRSH here.

ollowing the genre-blending success of “Late Nites”—a bold mix of country twang and pop-punk swagger—and “Nice Guy”—an exemplar of the band’s angsty modern twist on 2000s pop-punk—“FRVR” doubles down on FRND CRCL’s roots, reminding fans why they fell in love with the band in the first place. The release gives another taste of what to expect from JRSY FRSH: a fearless, fun, and fresh take on pop-punk with a Jersey attitude.

FRND CRCL will hit the road this summer, touring their latest album, JRSY FRSH, and sharing the stage with a rotating cast of incredible bands and artists. It's a celebration of the DIY scene, the friendships, and the spirit of live music. Each night will be its own unique event, packed with energy, spontaneity, and a whole lot of heart. 

“This is not a headlining tour. This is a ‘play as many shows w/ as many of your friends as you can’ tour,” FRND CRCL shared via Instagram.
