FRIENDS have seriously been doing all the right things in the lead up to the release of their debut album. They've released a couple of incredibly catchy pop tracks, which have gone onto be picked up by a ridiculous number of music blogs as well as a high rotation on Triple J. And if you know anything about anything, that equals success. On top of this, they've also managed to get themselves on massive festival bills across the globe, including our own Splendour In The Grass. No longer is the name, Friends , exclusive to that [...]

“Manifest!” with its ambiguous, ideology-laden shout, is a UFO of an album, harking back to punk rock elements of the past, synthesizers of years gone by and echoing vocals yet in a way only a hipster of Generation Y could do. Friends - Manifest (2012) 8.5/10 Lucky Number The eighties quirky secret agent visuals for « Mind Control » - the closing track on Friends’ debut album - featuring security agents whose heads have been swapped for vintage security cameras, eerie close ups of a neon lit eye and a [...]
Se neste momento os Friends ainda te são desconhecidos, andas a dormir na formatura! Começa por ouvir isto e saber isto (vá, eu adianto, eles vão a Paredes!) O álbum de estreia, Manifest! , está quase quase a sair (sai dia 4, 2ª feira) e depois de termos ouvido "Mind Control" (que também podes ouvir aqui! ), podemos agora ouvir "Home", uma música a la Friendly Fires tropicais, com uma voz doce e sensual de Samantha Urbani. É simples - aqui dança-se! [...]

Last week this track dropped and it's got a really great vibe going on. Taken from the album Manifest by Friends "Home," will be dropping on June 5th. It's right around the corner. Friends - "Home"

This is my US music post from The Great Escape, following from my very oh so British Jethro Fox & Lucy Rose post. These bands are from opposite coasts but were two I was very much excited to get down to see. Brooklyn natives, Friends were a band that drew in a slightly large crowd to The Haunt on the Friday night. An odd venue, because it is literally pitch black throughout, which did benefit me in photographing them. Strangely there was just me and one other photographer at the front. I had not gone in with any [...]
Friends gives us a clip for their latest single 'Mind Control' from the forthcoming debut ' Manifest .' This is the kind of music you can expect us to be blasting for the Summer, rooftop parties, cookouts included. Samantha Urbani.... you really are our favorite she-popper at the mo....... album will see daylight on June 4th.
![Friends – Mind Control [Listen]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4194329_lg.jpg)
Finally there is news on New York's Friends . The funky pop dance fun band who knows how to make a party at their live shows. I happened to see them play in Ottawa on November 24, 2011 . The band dropped a new single. Mind Control has that 1980s new wave pop "Prince" sound. The single is taken from their upcoming album "Manifest" which drops on June 5th on Fat Possum (WOW congrats to them being signed to a great label!!) Have a listen.

Our Fresh Faces and Brooklyn buzz favorites Friends have finally surfaced with brand new material from their debut project. The sleek disco-pop funk inspired 'Mind Control' which was mixed by Paul Epworth (Adele,Florence and the Machine) will be the collectives first single off of the forthcoming album ' Manifest ' on June 4th via Lucky Number. Listen as Samantha Urbani and gang gives us a serious reason to be looking forward to Summer. Friends - Mind Control

O quinteto mais hipster do Brooklyn finalmente está de volta. Depois de um enorme hype criado em 2011 com apenas duas músicas lançadas (as ótimas “I’m His Girl” e “Friend Crush” ), Samantha Urbani e sua trupe de 'amigos' está de volta com o mais novo single do Friends , "Mind Control". Porém, essa não é a única notícia que fará os precoces fãs da banda (nós inclusos) vibrarem hoje: o lançamento do primeiro disco do grupo, Manifest! , já está com lançamento agendado para o dia 4 de Junho. Enquanto esperamos até lá, [...]

Hipsterband Friends made a very catchy tune with "I'm His Girl", which slowly got stuck in my head and now I play that track wayyyy too much. Still loving it though. Now they are finally back with another BIG tune. With "Mind Control" they probably will control my mind and make me play this funky piece of indie pop a lot. Stream it here and enjoy yourself!

Metronomy's worldbeating tour of nonstop jams rolled through Boston's Brighton Music Hall on Satuday. Already critical darlings in the UK, The band's third LP The English Riviera was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize as well as being a Top 10 entry in the year end lists of many major UK music mags (incl. Uncut and NME). On album no. 3 Metronomy made that leap that many great Brit bands make. The band with The English Riviera went from a quirky, niche, cult, etc sort of a band to a standing on the brink of immense success [...]

All has been tight lipped when it comes to new material from our Fresh Faced pick and Brooklyn fun band Friends , thanks to Noisey and this live version of a catchy cut titled 'Va Fan Gor Du' which were sure will see an official release soon, our lovefest for Samantha can continue. Watch the performance above.
