Manifest! shows this is a group of friends which have come together to make promising uptempo indie music, but without a real purpose to it.
If you've been following the quick ascension of Friends ' popularity you'll be pleased to realise that we're only four days away from their debut album. Since their celebrated and often-talked about single "I'm His Girl" and just-as-loved video for it, the band have been heavily scrutinised with everything they've done, but each time like with "Mind Control" they've delivered. The same can be said for this final album track "Home" , showing off Samantha's sultry voice backed by a slightly tropical [...]

Tweet We briefly mentioned Friends back in October , but allow me to introduce them properly. The latest sticky-sweet girl pop band hails from the unlikely location of Bushwick, an often sketchy and recently-hip area of Brooklyn. In a way, it make sense as girl-pop, as a genre, is often sketchy and recently hip. Fortunately for Friends, the moniker that they finally settled on, their particular brand of electro-dazed pop is verging on excellent. Though they haven't even dropped [...]

Friends is a tight-knit group of...friends based in Bushwick. The band formed after a bed-bug scare (I think everyone in NYC unfortunately knows someone with a horror story at this point) caused a number of the now members to live together for a week. While they waited out the (bed-bug) storm, jam-sessions were had, and Friends was born. Apparently there can be a silver lining to fumigating all your worldly possessions. They released their debut album Friend Crush via the Lucky Numbers label this summer. If you like hazy synth pop with dripping vocals, you'll [...]

Friends are the latest band of Brooklyn hipsters to try their hand at D.I.Y disco. Unlike the rest, however, they have something new hidden up their retro jacket sleeves – fresh-sounding pop tunes. Their second single, ‘I’m His Girl’ is built upon a lazy funk baseline which strolls, broad shouldered, over layers of post punk percussion. Bongos, bells and handclaps add depth without boiling over. That means no annoying cowbell solos splintering the melody. Read more..
Directed by Samantha Urbani of Friends + Aurora Halal (whose work has been featured a lot around here lately). Friends' irresistibly catchy I'm His Girl single - which, incidentally, vaguely recalls one of the best Cat Power songs , albeit with a considerably dirtier bassline - is out digitally and on 73 October 31 on Lucky Number .

Brooklyn outfit Friends have already made their mark this year with their debut single (and summer jam of the year) "Friend Crush". Now they return with the follow-up single "I'm His Girl", due October 31 on Lucky Number . The track features an infectious bass line and sexy, stylish vocals from lead singer Samantha Urbani. Summer may be over, but the party certainly isn't. You can pre-order the single in a variety of formats here . Friends - I'm His Girl by LuckyNumberMusic
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Lykke Li, Dum Dum Girls "Friends - I'm His Girl" What's so good? Before the year is out, Friends' Samantha Urbani might become one of the coolest women in pop. Her stars are aligned and the rainbow-clad gods of rhythm like what they see. She’s fun, has a subtle subtext of sexual energy that seems to reel [...]
New track from Friends that just popped up recently. Killer bass line, seductive vocals, lyrical imagery - all check. Ridiculously catchy as well - almost on par with “Pumped Up Kicks” though I don’t see this taking off in the same way - these guys will take off for sure. Shades of Blondie, eh? You can grab the vinyl release of “I’m His Girl” and it’s b-side “My Boo” via Lucky Number (who brought us one of our other favorites - Darwin Deez). Limited to 500 copies. Friends [...]

Say hello to your new favourite band, Friends. The Brooklyn-based five-piece first came to everyone's attention with 'Friend Crush' earlier in the year and now they're back with their latest single 'I'm His Girl'. Featuring one of the coolest basslines of 2011 and lyrics that are about every guy's dream girlfriend, this is the start of something big. I'm His Girl is out 31 October on Lucky Number. Get it here .

I’m going to be honest. When I first heard “Friend Crush” by Brooklyn band Friends, I assumed that the lyric “I wanna’ be your friend” was just conveying the loneliness of our protagonist. However, if the sultry, brooding and deeply suggestive new video for “Friends Crush” is anything to go by, it seems like she’s after more than a friendly hug. I say ‘suggestive’, but the two female band members are practically kissing, which is probably less subtle than I make it sound. I’m aware that all male readers will now be watching the video below and not reading, which [...]

Brooklyn maybe be the hipster capital of the world, but hey, you've got to give it credit. It's produced more amazing music over the years than (dare I say) any other borough in the US of A. continue reading >>
