Best Friends
AA Side
Straight outta Yorkshire, this foursome make surf tinged garage pop that bites. Happy Anniversary / Nosebleeds is Best Friends new AA side and it’s great.
Opener ‘Happy Anniversary’ starts with phasers unwinding behind a sedated Damon Albarn-esque vocal before the beat picks up and runs with an infectiously catchy riff that hooks in and shreds its way around your ears. ‘Nosebleeds’ is a belter straight from the off. Led by a mean bass riff, this track could get way heavier if it wanted to, and on stage booming out of the PA I’m sure it does, but here they’re keeping it reigned in with a stripped back verse and a cool jam section leading into the last chorus perfectly.
Infested with catchy hooks and indie groove, these two tracks do share exactly the same blue print but it totally works.
Happy Anniversary / Nosebleeds is due for release September 23rd on Art Is Hard Records.
