"FRIENDS, they're one of the most impossible band names ever to hunt down in a google search (no shit!), this is the first time I've ever written about them in this blog.. but it's not the first time I've ever mentioned them in print. Nope if ever you picked up that "Hot Six" edition of Rip It Up earlier this year: you might have seen me in teeny tiny letters recommending them alongside other such "luminaries" as Steering By Stars, 20th Century Graduates, Cortez, Two Suns and The Honey Pies as one of the bands to watch in 2010; and at the time you might have wondered WHY (and not just because Rip It Up were insane enough to put ME in print.. AAAAHAHaHAhAhA!!). Well as much as I readily admit they were a last minute addition on my behalf, based purely on that ONE show I caught of theirs back on Boxing Day at The Exeter: they sure as shit don't disappoint tonight (nor in fact in any of the other times I've ever seen them live). Formed between Ben Quici on lead (formerly Antony Of The Future), Josh Phillips on guitar, Liam Kenny on bass (formerly Billy Bishop Goes To War) and James Mannix on drums (formerly Tyger Tyger) they're lo-fi grunge and garage punk at its psychotic "ear bleeding" best.. OOOOH YEAH, THEY'RE FUCKING BRUTAL! Think equal parts Grinderman, Nirvana and The Sex Pistols with none of the pissy compromise. Think visceral screaming, junkyard wailing and howling distortion delivered as exploding ear candy. Think of that one "hilarious" scene out of Fight Club where Jared Leto gets the shit kicked out of him by Edward Norton, only multiply it by ten (aaaah Jared Leto! everyone loves that guy don't they?). In fact fuck "thinking" altogether. Drink yourself blind, bring all your fuckup friends wielding four-by-twos, go beserk like Begbie out of Trainspotting; duuude you'll fucking love it! They're 100% catharsis, they're audial ultraviolence in a can, they're inner peace achieved with a screaming fist; and the more drunk you get on it? duuude the better they'll make you feel (no shit, I've had all of three beers tonight and already I'm mad buzzing). Friends. They're like the cure to EVERYTHING stupid that used to piss us off about the Adelaide scene in 2009, they're wiping the slate clean for 2010, indie disco's dead, it's buried under six feet of dirt.. and they're holding the shovel; come party with them some time!" - spoz.blogspot.com
