……and so comes, ‘The Way’, from the now super-distilled 3-piece Friends. Recorded in NYC, June 2013, with a helping hand from Devonté Hynes and Joey Postiglione, ‘The Way’ is the band’s first new recorded music aired since the release of their debut album ‘Manifest!’ in June 2012.

Never afraid to surprise, this time Friends take a turn down an overtly ‘80’s power ballad highway, concocting an anthem that would dominate the erection section of any roller disco worth it’s cherry red wheel lube. A relentlessly sexy groove, whiplash snares, sensually breathless vocals and effortlessly egotistical guitars that clearly aspire to the romanticism, indulgence, and prowess for inspiring baby-making of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ lock down from start to finish.

Friends, Power Ballad tour, believe!

Here is the utterly brilliant and equally bonkers self-directed video from Friends for ‘Va Fan Gör Du’ the fourth single to be taken from the debut album ‘Manifest!’.

Following a rousing and sold out headline show at the Scala, Friends return this August to play a special one-off show at the 100 Club with Santigold and Best Coast, as well as a slew of festival dates throughout the summer. Full dates listed below and ticket links here. In addition, Friends will drop into Maida Vale studios for a BBC Radio One ‘Live Lounge’ on the 29th August. Details can be found here .
