The Friend is a band from Turku, Finland, which plays melodic indierock music, music that makes people dance. The band has refined for several years, but the final assembly of the quartet formed in the autumn of 2006. Despite its rather young age The Friend has played many spectacular shows in the southern regions of Finland.
"And there's more to come. All of our shows are worth seeing", The Friend proudly states.
In August of 2007, the band's debut EP "Sports" was put out. The production of the EP was so intense for the boys that Mikko, the guitarist, ate nothing at all when he was finishing the songs. The band comments on the EP, saying that you can get into an "I'm-oh-kay" -type of state of mind and just generally feel nice, while listening to the songs.
"The song Serious emancipates you from the seriousness of life. It's a love song, it's about a person, who by different events in life gets the idea that you shouldn't take life too seriously. And that's also what The Friend's music is all about. Streets Call is a vivid song rolling forward with a disco-beat. Our songs are brisk, atmospheric, playful, three-and-a-half-minutes-long compact packages. It's overly melodic, rhythmic and Oh! so wonderfully tingling! ". The Friend comments.
The attitude of the band is fortified with guitarist Mikko's ejaculation: "This band is doing great!"
