Music Discovery of the Day: Friends of Friends- The Bends

Merging attention-grabbing indie-rock with heartfelt narratives, South East Queensland’s Friends of Friends is the unapologetically raw and authentic sound of suburban Australia. With their lineup completed in 2021, the band of best-friends is turning heads, being described by triple j as "Great, Lethal Modern Rock.” Seamlessly blending elements of new-wave punk, post-rock and shoegaze, screaming indie guitars, and glistening synths as they draw inspiration from bands like Wolf Alice, U2, Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, resulting in a potent and razor-sharp sound with a glistening pop sheen that’s reminiscent of the hazy-memory making of your youth.
