Friends

FRIENDS

Sensual, provocatively percussive pop comes naturally to Friends. This quintet of essential and un-missable characters, led by the captivating 23-year-old Samantha Urbani, are unified by their single-minded musical independence and defiant trend resistance. These Friends play in traffic at a busy intersection of leftfield but party-hardy musical styles – ESG, Tom Tom Club, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Warpaint – which they orchestrate effortlessly and winningly into a singular aesthetic.



“ESG-style polyrhythmic post-disco on a tropical-pop trip” - Stereogum (Band to Watch)

“If there is to be one more band (from Brooklyn) then it should definitely be Friends” – Dazed and Confused
