There's nothing better than hearing a really cool demo and knowing straight off that the band is gonna be great. Los Angeles foursome FRIENDZY has just dropped its "Faze 1" demo, and I'm confident in declaring that any regular reader of this blog needs to hear it! I figured this band would be good since Troy Canady (Cheap Thrills, Mickey) is on guitar and vocals. Also on board are Natalie (bass and vocals), Paul (guitar and vocals), and Doug (drums). The instant I pushed play, I knew that FRIENDZY was my kind of band. These eight tracks live in the space where punk rock, power pop, and new wave hang together. I like that this is a true demo. It's clearly not intended to be a finished product, but it gives you a feel for this band's sound and highlights the quality of the material. Many of these songs will likely turn up on official releases in the future, but already you can hear the potential. This band understands how to write punchy songs with great hooks. There's also an excellent cover of The Vibrators' "Whips & Furs" that nicely complements the original songs. FRIENDZY is gonna be a hot band in the power pop world. Get in on the ground floor with a name-your-price download of this demo!
