Sounds LikeGenre explanation:
Electronic - because it's made with fake drums
Ambient - because we use a lot of sound effects, and sometimes noise
Progressive - not to be confused with progressive electronica...honestly, I thought prog-rock already was using that term. Anyway, it sometimes sounds like prog-rock (progressive rock).

A rugged interpretation of two obsessive and pseudo-intellectual Americans with mystical/philosophical/lustful interests. Computer perfection plus human error, serindipidiously positive in a murderous way.

   About Friend

FRIEND - OF WHOM?

"...an ambient apocalypse of digitization as delightful as the secretive songs buried beneath it."  Eric Mitts, Recoil

NEWS - Thursday, November 24th

New Friend song, SEEN, available to listen to. Tell all your friends. Deadly Intent has been taken down, but will be available for download in the future. Keep an eye out for the Clear remix by Nick Olman.

Friend url has been stolen. We don't know how this has happened. Just be careful out there. Notice how our url has changed. It was stolen by SPAZ, who is currently using our old url. Be careful if you run into this character.



FRIEND - OF WHOM? IS AVAILABLE NOW!!!

FRIEND - OF WHOM? IS AVAILABLE NOW!!!

Jamie and John met in Japanese class. They played together as Black Metal Kitten for a few months, whereupon John invited Jamie to play in his band Hoser. After a few months, they decided along with drummer, Jason Campbell, to form Special Dental Team, which was a completely collaborative effort on the part of the three musicians. A year later, Jamie and John found themselves without a drummer in Korea. So they started Friend. Friend has recorded two albums and one ep, and has released one album. Friend continues to create, despite these two old friends being separated by the largest ocean in the world. Between California and Japan there is...Hawaii...but between Jamie Grefe and John Adams there is Friend.

I just had to tell you about this, I remember when I was a child I always wanted a Watch Phone,
I used to watch to much Sci-Fi I guess, Well it appears you can now buy them, they are not that expensive, after shopping around I have found that this is the cheapest store online , the name says it all I guess. www.pricedrop-electricals.com
There are several styles of these phones,
prices start at $150 or £99. See all the other great gadgets they have in store all at unbeatable prices.

Here's something you don't hear every day on myspace: We have a new song up! That's right, a band (that's us), has been written, recorded, and uploaded a song to this site! Yes, I know this sounds crazy, but we're inviting YOU to click on our photo here on the left, and listen to the song by yourself! After doing that, you can comment us back and let us know how deeply this song has affected your life. We know you will never be the same, but still, we want to hear it from you personally!

This a demo recording of 'Human Again', which will be featured on our upcoming second album. Stay tuned for more new songs soon to come!
