Best Friends hails from Chicago, and specializes in pop-dance gems. The production duo/band's self-titled EP has been on repeat for days and some tracks have already made it on to my party/workout list. Check out the "video" for "So Far Away" above (my personal favorite off the EP), and the BANGER "Body Rock". [...]

I want Sheffield's Best Friends to be my best friends, still. They just put Wasting Time up on their soundcloud and it's everything that is great about ramshackle Surf-pop. I want it to be clear that there will always be a place on NRBW for bands and songs like this. Fuzz-coated cotton candy surf riffs, tantalizing reverbed-out hooks, and an anthemic chorus all in just over three minutes. I've already like listened to this fifteen times today. That says it all. [...]

I've lived with him a few times. I've shared beds, couches, and tents with him, cooked for him and with him, gotten excited about Pavement and Guided by Voices with him, played duck hunt with him back in 1991, told him to shut the fuck up at 3 in the morning at music festivals, been told to shut the fuck up by him at 3 in the morning at music festivals, gotten briefly concerned that he had autism (during the 48 hour MP3 tagging marathon of 2003), and generally just enjoyed his company for years.

Portland's John Heart Jackie (along with Justin Harris from Menomena) take on Prince's 1980 lovesick ballad, weaving a swanky little few minutes of atmosphere, in the middle of a tour no less. Impressive. When You Were Mine (Prince) - John Heart Jackie GO SEE: John Heart Jackie play Boulder's Laughing Goat on Sunday, Denver's Walnut Room on Monday, and Fort Collins' Everyday Joe's on Tuesday. Sidenote, [...]

Despite having lived in the UK for over two years now, I've never been above London. Combined with the fact that I have absolutely no knowledge of geography of any kind, most especially English geography, I'm going to plead the 5th on whats up with Sheffield. I know it's in the North, and I also know that I kind of want to totally be best friends with four-piece Best Friends . They've just released their first properly recorded EP , which I would grab from their bandcamp [...]

The Drums, esa bandita estadounidense que creció como si se tratara de un cohete con el lanzamiento de "Let's Go Surfing", estuvo en España dando una serie de shows y a la agrupación los agarraron los de MTV, los metieron en un estudio donde hacía much fío para hacer ice version (versión hielo) de su canción "Best Friends". El resultado está bastante bien aunque, el temita ese de ice version no es nada más que algo así como unplugged y, si bien la guitarra de Connor Hanwick sí estaba conectada, se trató [...]

The first drop from Mach Five's upcoming Best Friends. Really excited about this duo and their forthcoming project after hearing A.ware's work on Lady Heroin . Be on the lookout and hit up Mach Five's Bandcamp for the goods. - @SpcPck Mach Five - Fake Friends Tweet

The Best Friends With Wolves Club - Don't Look Down 'Don't Look Down' is being released as a single so people can get a little taste of what The Best Friends With Wolves Club are cooking up for their first full length release, coming out later this fall / winter. And the first taste is both tasty and free. I would write more about it, and maybe even throw in a clever metaphor, but I'm moving to England next week and am a bit short on [...]
Hace poco, para ser más específica, el viernes pasado, recibí por correo electrónico el nuevo video de So Many Wizards, "Best Friends". Como parte de un pésimo hábito que reconozco tener, lo primero que hice antes de ver el video y generarme una opinión, fue leer su descripción. Para [...]

Part hippie, part hipster, part smalltown beach band, they're literally called The Best Friends, and they are so much fun to listen to that you'll have a hard time resisting their charm. [...]
![[on repeat] JOY REVISION by Best Friends](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3661481_lg.jpg)
Joy Revision Lip Curl This four piece out of Sheffield released its debut self-titled EP on August 7 through their Bandcamp after initially posting some of their demos back in April. It's an overwhelmingly fun and youthful lo-fi experience laden with surf jangle overtones, distorted vocals, twangy guitar, and groovy bass riffs. The record oozes summertime with songs like 'Surf Bitches,' 'Ice Cream Dreams,' and 'Lip Curl.' Two highlights from the EP are above, but be sure to download it for whatever price [...]

Best Friends // Surf Bitches How did I not find this earlier? Big thanks to my pal Rachel Levy for unknowingly turning me on to this because it just made my day. Ok so there is this band from Sheffield, England and they are called Best Friends . Oh and their debut EP is called Surf Bitches and the cover features a tie-dye-wearin' golden retriever. If someone told me that the band was in this for anything other than [...]
So Many Wizards has always offered a sound that has been difficult to pin down in terms of genre, and even after expanding his project to a three-piece band including Erik Felix and Warren Woodward, Nima Kazerouni's playful yet untamed melodies have only been able to fall under the "bedroom pop" umbrella. However, this is certainly one of So Many Wizard's strengths — falsetto vocals joyously run rampant in unconventional song structures. So it's fitting that the Elliot Glass-directed clip for "Best Friends" presents an unusual contrast. To suit the light bounce of the song, we see the video's [...]

So Many Wizards has a new video, for "Best Friends." The song can be found along with "Inner City" on the band's most recent release, available via mail order from the Seven Inch Project . Singer Nima Kazerouni gives some background: "The song musically is very airy with pretty melodies. We wanted to make a video that embodied this feeling but also contrast it with something dark within the story. Our friend Elliot Glass, who directed and filmed the video, helped us come up with that perfect hybrid. It stars Ericka [...]

![[Listen] – New Song By The Drums – "Money"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3576261_lg.jpg)
Tweet It's only been a year or so since The Drums released their debut self-titled album to much praise and now they're readying the release of its follow-up. A couple of months back they released a new song as part of a charity effort to help with the Tsunami relief effort in Japan after the earthquake and it followed in exactly the same vein as their debut album , and wouldn't you know it, the same can be said [...]

If you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to download the Heartbeats Unlimited Mixtape Volume 3 .
After starting out "Best Friends Our Worst Enemies" slowly with their first track "Carabella", Roden breaks through to their listeners with the very AFI-influenced "Ghosthouse, 1922". The multiple-vocals of the aforementioned "Ghosthouse, 1922" really make the track crash and break against the ears of listeners, and go off into pseudo-instrumental noodling soon after. "Murder Of [...]
